Day 1 of our trip began at 3:45am when we woke up the kids for their first flight!! Carter had a hard time getting up but the girls were exceptionally agreeable when they realized that the time had finally arrived.
Taylor had a window seat for the first flight.
Carter's face was priceless with the first take off. We took off at 6am and arrived in Chicago at 7:15am. The lay-over of 2 hours was horrible for the kids as the fatigue set in from our early wake up. We all took good naps from Chicago to Florida; Carter fell asleep before even taking off.
After landing in Florida at 1:20pm we heading straight for Cocoa Beach on the east coast. The temp was approximately 70 degrees, but cloudy. It was the kid's first time in the ocean. The loved the waves and the sand. The also found out quite quickly what salt water tasted like as the wave crashed into them.
Hailey and Mike went straight into the waves.
Next to arrive at the beach was the Walhofs and the Vis'. Cocoa beach is also where two cruise ships set sail.
