We had a great trip to Florida, but it is nice to be home. I missed Mario, Eric, and Erin. It was nice to come home to a clean home. That was really my only requirement for my return. I don't want to come home to a mess! But, it only took about 30 seconds to destroy the house after we walked through the front door. The twins opened up their goody bags from the Los Angeles airport USO and dumped them everywhere. Then Eric and Erin came home with all their school stuff everywhere. Mario had to leave for class soon after us getting home. So my vacation was officially over. Back to housework, cooking, and cleaning.
Our flight left 7 am in the morning from Tampa. That means we would have had to leave Port Charlotte at 3:30 or 4 am in the morning. So I decided to get a room at the Marriott (with my good military discount)in the airport. That was great walking out of the hotel and right into the airport. I didn't have to wake the twins up until 5:15. So Sunday night, one of my best friends, Krista Amberg (now Rosales)came to visit me in the hotel. She brought her little boy, Alex who is three years old today. He and my boys had a great time tearing my hotel room apart. It was so nice to visit with an old friend and catch up on old times.
The boys did well on the trip. It was a long flight from Tampa to LA. Then in LA we had a 3 hour layover. It was nice that they have a USO for us to hang out in. They have tons of free snacks and drinks, a kids' room to play in, tv's, and internet. They really take care of the military. Then we had a 45 minute flight from LA to Monterey. Zach slept for that trip. Too bad he didn't sleep on the 4 1/2 hour flight. But I was grateful for his nap. I didn't have to worry about him kicking the seat in front of him for a whole 45 mintues! Nathan refused to nap and watched DVD's for most of the trip.
I told Mario that he gets to take Nathan and Zachary on a vacation and I will stay home with Eric and Erin next time. When Mario goes to visit Abuela, he usually takes one of the twins, but I think he should try a plane ride with both of them! What do you think?
