Day 258: Come Fly With Me

Today we started an adventure that took 3 years to save for and a full calendar year to plan. We hopped on a plane and flew 8 hours to Orlando, Florida to spend a week at our favorite place on earth, Walt Disney World. 

The boys, thankfully, are exceptional travelers in the air or on the road. All we needed to do to prep them was to tell them where we're going and pack them each a backpack of new activities to keep them busy (coloring books, activity books, mini puzzles from the dollar store, small toys) and toss food at their general direction from time to time. 

Time to travel!

Keeping busy

The flights really swallowed up most of the day. We arrived at Disney's Shades of Green resort (military resort on Disney property) late in the afternoon and had just enough time to pick up our groceries from the front counter (online grocery delivery service is the best thing ever invented), unpack and throw the kids in the pool for a couple hours before bed. 

Shades of Green has remodeled their pool since we've been there 3 years ago. It now features a slide, a basketball hoop, and a super cool splash pad.
