Getting to Flordia – Day One
Feb 6th
Wow what a trip, it first stated off in Des Moines, with a 2 hour delay on our plane from Des Moines to Sanford (Orlando). First time flying with the kids, it went very well. When we arrived in Florida it was a wonderful 60+ degrees. I am pretty sure its my first time seeing palm trees. We made a drive from Sanford to Kissimmee starting at 12am. First time driving in Florida and I have to pay 3.75 in toll fees. After checking into the motel at 1am, and making a 1:30am McDonald’s run for my hungry family, I think we made it to bed around 2:30am. That concludes day 1.
Thanksgiving
Dec 7th
So I may be a week late, but figured I would post anyway. We went back for thanksgiving, and Kayla and I separated our ways and went to our families thanksgiving. Its crazy going back, all my cousins are getting so old… and married lol. On friday and Saturday, Kayla and I went to the Bars in Yankton, SD, and meet up with an old friend of ours. Then on the way back from yankton we finished in Bloomfield, NE both nights. We also made a pit(drink) stop in Crofton, NE on Saturday. Crofton is the place were Kayla and I originally meet. It was nice to get out and enjoy some time to ourselves. I would also like to mention Kayla got trashed on Saturday, I am surprised she didn’t get the brown bottle flu. We were going to come back Saturday, but seen it was snowing, so we decided to stay another day. Well it was a horrible drive. The interstate was covered in ICE from Des Moines,IA to Iowa City, IA. Slow and steady and we made it… but seen to many cars in the ditch for my liking. We did stop in Clive,IA for Qdoba. They have some awesome Three Cheese Queso. I had a Pork Burrito, it wasn’t as good as the burritos in Rapid City, SD at Qdoba, or it could be I have been eating Panchero’s Burritos. So yeah… that was my crazy Thanksgiving weekend.
