We made it to FLORIDA! Day One

We left this morning at 4:45 a.m. Not sure of how Z was going to do on 2 flights we were a little nervous. Kevin and I prayed in our living room before we left. Then we prayed in the drive way when Kevin's parents came to pick us up. Then we prayed again before each flight took off. Praise the Lord, our prayers were answered. Zachary was an angel and we arrived safe & sound.

On the flights Zachary was super quiet and very cute. He flirted with everyone around him and the flight crew. He had everyone wrapped around his fingers. Again we are SO thankful that God was watching over us because it could have been a nightmare. We also were thankful that all 3 pieces of luggage arrived and we got an upgrade on our rental car. We were supposed to get a Taurus, instead they gave us a new Ford Escape. Lots of room for our luggage. Once we got our rental car we headed to the resort. Within 30 minutes of unpacking our stuff we got our sunscreen on and hit the beach. It's right in our backyard. Zachary LOVED it! That is until it dried on his hands and skin. It was funny because he was licking his hands because he liked the salty taste. Until this day Zachary has not had his food salted. Boy, does he like the salt. YUCK!

Anyways, we went to a local place for dinner. It was yummy and very reasonable. I had shrimp, salad, and fries. Kevin had salad, shrimp, and scallops. Z had applesauce, veggies from our salad, and a hamburger. After dinner we went to Publix grocery store to stock up on milk, juice, diet coke, and breakfast items. Tonight we are all tired but very excited to be on vacation. We are still praying that Zachary will be able to tolerate his "crib". He does not do good with portable cribs so it might be a long night. Well, we are going to go on a walk around the resort. Check back tomorrow for more updates. We love you guys, HIL
