Travel, Day 1

We left town on Saturday, headed first to Dallas/Fort Worth for an overnight and then on to Belize on Sunday. On Saturday morning, I asked the boys to pack up some toys they’d like to bring with us. Finn packed his backpack and by 7:00 a.m. he was ready to roll.

Finn's all packed

I did the rest of the packing, since we clearly have different ideas of what one needs on a trip. We also had some stowaways.

Erin gave them new sunglasses for the trip. Now they’re the hippest kids on the block.

Auntie Rhonda and Bruce served as chauffeurs to LAX.

Finn said his sad (and sleepy) goodbye to Papa.

And then we were off!

Excited travelers

We made it to Dallas about 9:30 with two exhausted boys who wanted a ride.

Once we got to the hotel at the airport, Ezra hung out with the luggage.

After a quick dinner in the room, Ezra did book time.

Bedtime stories

It was a very late night, but a good night’s sleep was had. Getting ready for travel day 2.
