Florida 2011

We planned a fun trip to FL with the girls and planned on taking them to Disney while we were there, too. We were excited to go visit and spend time with family and enjoy a nice long, warm vacation. The hardest part of the trip was the flight there, for sure! It was Chanel's first time on a plane so we made sure the break the flight up pretty evenly with just one stop. I didn't want to drug her with benadryl but we did take some melatonin just in case we needed it. AND WE DID! She was so restless the whole time and hated being confined to our tiny little row. Once we got her to sleep it was great, until we were decending into FL and the captain announced our decention. It woke Chanel up and then her ears were bothering her pretty bad so she screamed the last 20 min. of the flight. Luckily everyone around us was pretty understanding. We were so glad to finally be there. We had to have Krystal's for dinner and Elena ate 3 burgers, she loved them:) Our first evening there we went to friendship park down by the water and walked around. It was actually pretty chilly, but luckily the weather warmed up while we were there.

This is in front of one of the many bridges in downtown Jacksonville. I love how it's all lit up.

We were going to take a ferry ride over to the landing but we arrived just a tad late and would've ended up being there pretty late to make the next ride. But it was still fun to see!
