Every Vacation Needs Some Bumps

We just got back from vacation. It was so much fun and I will be updating the blog over the next few days, but so you know why it is taking me some time to post the rest of the pictures, etc… I will post the end first. Sadly I don’t have any pictures… I was too tired to take any (the one below is from when we left)…


But, needless to say, I am EXHAUSTED. We were scheduled for an 8am flight that got cancelled due to mechanical problems. I stood in line for 2.5 hours (longer than the flight would have been!) to get rebooked. We then got taxied from one airport to another and had to go back through security. Let me tell you that 2 strollers, 3 carseats, 5 kids, 2 parents, and 9 bags is a lot of stuff to send through security a SECOND time! Finally getting on a 2:50 pm flight. I am glad that the airline didn’t send us on a broken plane but cancel the flight? Where were the other agents to help us get rebooked a bit faster? There were 2 agents working my line and 15 or so parties in front of us. 2 and a half hours to rebook us is insane.

My kids were troopers. They were up super early and were really tired. When they saw our flight was cancelled, they panicked and wondered how we would get home. Eventually we got home but our car is still not unloaded. I will face that tomorrow.
