Disney - Day 4


So, I'm a day late on recapping day 4...but here is a quick summary.  We woke up leisurely yesterday and left the resort by 10am headed for the Orlando/Sanford Airport.  The airport is somewhat small (about the size of Huntsville) but a lot easier than flying out of Orlando.  Even more reason to fly from there is that Allegiant Airlines has non-stop flights to Huntsville for only $19.  Yep, seriously.  After our almost 11-hour car ride (spread over 2 days) to Orlando last weekend, we decided Sam and I would fly back while Ron drove home.  This first picture was of Sam watching Toy Story and eating lunch at our gate while we waited to board the plane.

Sam found a kindred spirit at the airport named Jacob.  Jacob was pushing a little carry-on suitcase of Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, so they ended up watching the movie together.  It was priceless.

Sam got his own seat on the airplane and wore a big-boy seat belt.  This was his first time to fly and he seemed to enjoy it almost as much as the movie he was watching.  (Thank goodness for portable DVD players; we watched Curious George on the plane.)  While the plane was making it's way up in the air, Sam was most impressed with all the trees.  "Look Mommy, trees." he kept saying.

We were home by 2pm (thanks Melanie for the ride home...) and managed to have an uneventful afternoon.  Ron made it in about 9 last night and we're all glad to be home.

Today has been very trying...Sam has required tons of attention and has wanted me to hold him constantly.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a little more normal.
