Beckers 1,136 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 And I'm at target where it was supposed to be pulled and held for me and yet can't find it. This is like trying to search for that damn wienermobile all over again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Here we go!!!11/8My alarm was set for 4am and I woke up at 3:55 am. It was super easy to wake Adam up but I wasn't sure how the baby was going to do but she woke up on her own around 4:15 and Adam flew in her room and turned the lights on so she was up and ready to go. We left for the airport at 4:52 and arrived around 5:20. Security was easy they sent me to the TSA pre check lane so I could keep my shoes, light jacket on. I have no idea why but the fact that they did made it so much easier for me. The lady behind me was huffy because I had a lot of stuff but ironically she's the one who set off the metal detector. I had a lot of stuff (stroller, 3 book bags and a bag of medical stuff) but I was prepared and not holding up the line. Because I was carrying more than the typical amount of liquids they swabbed my cooler, and book bag but not the kids stuff or my bag of meds, nebulizer etc. Got to the gate with 2 hours before departure ( we left early, ride to the airport was quicker than I executed and security was quick). We spent a lot of time looking out the windows until the sun came up and was blinding us, kids ran around, Adam made a friend and they played together. Squish (we call Elizabeth that) made friends with another little boy and they chased each other for a while. It worked out well because the mom stood on one side and I was on the other so neither could escape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 There was a little girl who was letting the baby play with her build a bear Minnie and she loved it, she wouldn't leave the girl alone. I need to see if they still make them. They started preboarding at 7:35. We are a medical preboard because of Adam's allergies, it allows me extra time to wipe everything down and have it dry, etc. I was second in line and a lady kept trying to cut me and was giving me the stink eye and saying it wasn't family preboarding it was for medical only. I got tired of her huffing and puffing and finally asked if she'd like to see my paperwork, that finally shut her. Thankfully the lane was not full so I was able to have a seat for the baby, I'm glad I didn't buy a seat because it saved a lot of money. Adam played iPad most of the time and the baby napped for about an hour.image When she woke up she was entertained with a cup for probably a good 20 minsimage Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 The flight went smoothly, they did warn us about turbulence but it wasn't too bad. We ended up landing 35 mins early! That was a nice surprise. We made a potty stop as soon as we landed and this was in the bathroom. I found it amusing and figured most of you drive and may not have seen it before so I took a picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 After the potty stop we hopped on the tram/monorail/train, whatever you want to call it. We arrived early and were going to meet Jason to take the ME over to the Fort. We looked in the Nasa store, the Universal store (where Adam spent the money my mother in law gave him, he bought a minion school supply kit) and took some pictures. We then headed down to ME where we met up with Jason. I have no arrival pictures, my hands were too full to take pictures going under the sign and they took us in the backway so no picture of the official Fort sign. We were the 5th stop, it went quicker than I expected but it is still slow torture waiting to get to your stop! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 We beat my parents to the Fort by about 20 mins or so. We looked at the horses for a few mins before Adam asked to see something more interesting. We knew my parents had booked a preferred site so we headed towards the 100-300 loop. After we got off the bus my mom texted me we were in site 225. We met them there, dumped our stuff off and headed to TE for lunch. I didn't.t make adrs because I wasn't sure what time we would end up getting there, they said it was going to be a 30 min wait so they kids were happy playing, I don't think it ended up being that long. For some reason the baby liked picking up and carrying or pushing the horseshoe thing around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 After we waited and the kids played, they called us. We let them know of the allergy when we put or name on the list, told the waitress who said the chef would be right out. And we waited, and waited, and waited. The waitress wanted to take our order for an appetizer but I refused to order anything until we talked to a chef, it was at least 10 mins before someone showed up. It wasn't even a chef but a manager. I was slightly annoyed but since the allergies are not uncommon, I didn't push it. The food was taking forever and my kids were getting antsy we went to the playground and had Jason text me when the food came.Give me food!!! (Her eye still isn't back to normal)url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127708967@N08/15603693620/]We ordered cornbread as an appetizer, I forgot to take a picture until it was almost gone. It was good but I like what I make at home better.url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127708967@N08/15788522015/] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Adam had a cheeseburger, but I don't have any pics. My parents got them as well but I do have a pic of that. I had the catfish, sorry it's 1/2 eaten. I didn't want the greens and got regular veggies instead and sweet potato fries. It was really good.url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127708967@N08/15603369807/]The baby's 1/2 eaten grilled cheese Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 While we were still eating we were told we had to decide if we wanted dessert because the kitchen was closing. I ordered ice cream for Adam. url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127708967@N08/15170212213/]Checking out some decorated golf carts url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127708967@N08/15787782821/] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Your son and the light in the morning... that cracked me up. My little brother and I use to wake up the baby in our family by sneaking into his room and then (loudly) saying "Wake up Joshua!!"...then we'd say, "Oh, did we scare you baby?". He's still a bit jumpy to this day The cup...gotta love those simple things that will entertain a baby :) Your little man is adorable...he looks so excited! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
