PC Day 1-Friday

*Note about vacation posts...to read the posts in order, start with "family vacation" post and then go up...blogger puts the posts in reverses order*

We started our trip on Friday morning. We got up at 4:15 (ouch!) and got to the airport around 6. We flew USA 3000 and actually really had a great experience. We accidentally got off the parking shuttle at Southwest and were a little nervous when we saw the 400 people in line! But, once we got to the gate at our airline, there were only a couple people ahead of us and we had our own security area, so it was really quick and easy! The girls had fun running around the airport as we waited for boarding!

And me and my Bella


We found out the night before we left that the girls had an ear infection! We were really afraid the flight was going to cause them a lot of pain, but, they were great! They played for a few minutes when we first took off...then slept for a good hour. No crying at all!!!



Daddy slept too!



Thankfully, we bought a third seat. So grateful people advised us to do this. It was nice to have the extra space. Bella used it to take her nap!




The girls woke up from their nap and played with us in their seat for about an hour and then we were there! Totally incident free trip. Woo-Hoo! Here are the girls right where we got off the plane. Ahhh...warm weather :)






We got to the hotel about 2 hours before check in, so we had lunch and relaxed and then went up to our room. We immediately changed and headed for the beach! Here we are outside of our room, getting ready to head down!








Leah's first touch of the sand!! FUN!

Cesar took both girls into the ocean. It was actually pretty chilly (well...about 80 but windy), but they both seemed to like their first ocean experience...






Cousin Jacob brought his beloved monster trucks everywhere we went and was kind enough to let the girls play with them too!









About 5 minutes after we got to the beach that first day, we saw this beautiful rainbow. It looked even better in person. We knew we were going to have a great trip!!!




Drying off my Leah. Notice I am still nice and dry. I wasn't about to go into that cold water :) Brrr.....





First night at dinner with Abuelita






Cesar and James! We had such a great time hanging out with our nephews. They are all so cute and were wonderful at keeping the girls entertained!
