We are so lucky to have spent a wonderful week in Cabo over spring break with Mimi, Papa, Ryan, Susie, Sam and Brody! The boys and I made a countdown chain back in February and were so excited when there were only 2 links left!!!
We were at the airport at 5:00 in the morning, ready to go!!!
Drew is too cool for pictures. ;)
Our flight left at 7:00 and these boys are ready.
Lucky Mimi got Luke on one side and Brody on the other!
Annnnnnnd that's where it all started going downhill. After being in the air for 20 or 30 minutes, the pilot told us there was an issue with the landing gear and we had to return to Kansas City. WHAT?!?!?! We had to fly around for another 45 minutes or so to burn fuel before we could land. We had a connection to Cabo in Denver that we obviously missed now. Here we are back in the airport, waiting to see if they could get us on another flight.
Lunch in the Kansas City airport - not exactly where we thought we would be eating!
They finally told us they could get us on a flight to Dallas at 3:30 that afternoon. We wouldn't be able to get to Cabo until the next day. We were so bummed! These boys were such troopers. Here we are waiting...and waiting...
Luke got tired of waiting...
We finally got to Dallas that evening and then there was another big mess with our hotel. Southwest was supposed to have reserved us rooms at the Marriott. We arrived there and there were no rooms. We still don't really know what happened. They wanted us to go BACK to the airport and let Southwest sort it out, but there was no way all 11 of us (including 5 tired kids) were going back to that airport at that hour! So we called around until we found another hotel with available rooms. We got there around 7:30 or so and let the kids have a quick swim in the pool before we crashed for the night so we could get up early the next morning. It wasn't an ideal start to our trip, but it was an adventure!!!
