This morning we woke up bright and early. Not so we could leave... nope. Mainly because both children decided that 6:30 is an acceptable wake up time. Needless to say, that meant that we were both ready to get going earlier than we initially anticipated. Steven dropped Jack off at his doggy hotel for the week and then we loaded up the car. That was quite the feat. I remember the days that we would go on a trip with one (maybe two) suitcases. If it was a beach trip, we also brought a beach bag and maybe a snorkel and fins. Now... we have to pack up 1/2 our home. Traveling with a toddler and an infant is ridiculous.
Once we finished playing adult tetris and had everything (and everyone) in the car, we headed out. The drive was fairly uneventful. Will located a wipes container in the back (it was soft) that he then chewed on until he finally dropped it to his side. Then he attempted to chew on Kenzie's backpack until I removed it from his possession because we didn't want it laying across his face. Then he cried to voice his displeasure with me. Eventually he fell asleep and he slept until we stopped in Fort Pierce for lunch.
We ended up eating at Steak n Shake. It was a nice, but quick, escape from the car. Will did great during lunch and actually let all of us eat without any issues. Kenzie enjoyed her hot dog and before we knew it, we were back on the road again.
We drove through a bit of rain on the way to Mike and Sevie's house but it stopped before we got here. Kenzie was super excited to make it to their house so she could see their cats. She had a ball chasing those poor (okay, just Whiskey) around the house. Poor cat. Kenzie also loved the window at the front of their house. I think she might ask for us to install one when we get home. She could watch the entire neighborhood.
We went to Quarterdeck for dinner. It was pretty yummy. Again, Will did great at dinner and Kenzie enjoyed her chicken tenders (specifically tenders... she requested tenders, not nuggets). After dinner we came back to their house and got the kids ready for bed. We are now sitting and watching cooking shows on TV. Apparently, Mike doesn't cook but he enjoys watching others do it... I'm not sure why.
Tomorrow we are going to hang around South Florida. I have major plans to take Kenzie by the park that Steven, Aunt Juju, and Mike used to play at when they were kids and take pics of her playing there. Priorities, people. =) I think we are also planning on hitting up LaSpada's. I've never actually been there, but people speak so highly of it so I'm pretty excited about that too.
It's nice to visit with friends and I am looking forward to hitting the keys on Monday. So far the kids are doing great. Hopefully it will continue this way and we will have an awesome family vacation. =)
