We are in Florida now and on VACATION!! YIPPEEE!!!

Steve had his graduation from his leadership program today. He got done about 2:30 so he picked up Zack was home by 3 to finish up things around the house and load the suitcases into the truck. I tried to get out of work about 3:45 but really left about 3:55 to get home about 4:15. We left home, picked up Mark and Linda, made one last stop, and were checked in at the airport by 6ish. That gave us about an hour to eat dinner before boarding started at 7 for our 7:20 flight.

The flight was not full so we were able to move to an empty row and give Zack his own seat. That worked out great. He learned how to buckle and unbuckle his seatbelt. Steve had a hard time getting the DVD to play but we were finally able to get the Cars movie to play for him. He looked so cute wearing Steve's noise cancelling headphones while staring at the laptop. He did such a good job. He kept telling me that we were going "up up up" all the way there until we started to land and then he said we were going "down down down".

The flight itself was uneventful - the kind that I love! However, when we got to the Miami airport and were walking toward baggage claim, the fire alarm kept going off. But I don't know what was more disturbing, the fire alarm going off or the message that kept playing something like "The fire alarm has been activated. The fire department is on the way to investigate. Please stand by for further instructions." I wonder if they would have said something different if there was a confirmed fire?

We got our rental car and made the 2 hour trip to Key Largo. We got to our hotel about 10 minutes ago. Let me just say that our room is nice but it is no wonder that they don't put any pictures of the outside of the building on the website as it is nothing to write home about. We are just glad that the inside is nice.

Let's hope that the weather holds up and we get a beautiful day in Key West tomorrow. Well, later today.
