It's been so long that LJ has deleted my old drafts. That's a long time between posts.
We went to St. Thomas the second week of August.
THE PLAN
Wake up at 3:45 Sunday morning, shower, get dressed, dress the boys, load the car. Get box lunches and breakfast out of the fridge. Drive to airport with plenty of time for our 6:00 AM flight.
THE EXECUTION
I hear Joey's voice and see daylight. OH#*@*&@^*@!^*!!! What time is it? 5:29 AM!?!?!
Lots of yelling! I find clothes (probably my own), pull on shoes (no socks), and throw the suitcases into the van. Somehow all three boys are dressed and strapped into their carseats. We arrive at the airport at 5:45, for our 6:00 AM flight. They actually allowed us to get on the plane WITH our bags. The plane pulled away from the gate at 6:05. We then waited on the tarmac for a half hour while military planes took off. Then off we went on our Carribean vacation!
