It's CRUISE time! Friday - Traveling to Orlando

We headed out on Friday morning to drive to St. Louis.  We stopped and did a little shopping and got some lunch before heading to the airport.



We stopped at Nordstrom to pick up some shoes for the girls and Brynn was so excited about her balloon!




When you are in St. Louis with Pam and Rick you go to Red Robin for lunch!  =)  They are quite obsessed with that place...and it is good!



And then we headed to the airport...oh boy.  Traveling with a lot of luggage and two kids is quite interesting...I'm not sure how people who have even more kids than that do it...whew!






Neither one of our girls had ever been on an airplane before...Brynn was SO excited!


Between Ryan and I and our girls, and Jason and Sarah and their three girls...we were a bit of a hot mess in the  check-in line.  HA!



Exhibit A...



Killing some time while we waited to board...


And then all of a sudden we saw "JOJO!"  (Nonna's son Jody!)  He had just gotten back from watching some of the Masters golf tournament and his plane that pulled in was OUR plane heading to Orlando!  How crazy is that!  We had to send Mrs. Abby and Paisley and Nonna our pic!




Time to board...look out Southwest Airlines...the Bandermann girls are heading your way!




Our flight left around 2 and we purposely hadn't let Emory take a nap or fall asleep in the car because we figured she would konk out as soon as we flew if we gave her the "night night blankie".  Within about five minutes she was OUT!  Success!




Hi Ansley!




And then after the snacks, Brynn fell asleep.  Success #2! =)


Landing in Orlando!




We took a shuttle to Cape Canavral, FL, which is where we were going to board the ship the next day.



We ate at a fun seafood restaurant before calling it a night.  We looked out and the boys were having a dance party outside...HA!


 The next morning it was TIME TO BOARD THE CRUISE SHIP! =)
