I took SO SO many photos, I hope you are all ready LOL

Without further ado..

Our trip week kicked off with a rough start. On Sunday, we took Nora to see Moana 2. She did so well and LOVED it.

We got home and I proceeded to have the most violent food poisoning of my life for the next 30ish hours. SO AWFUL. I kept crying thinking it wouldn't be over in time for our trip. Somehow, I was okay on Tuesday morning when we got up to get ready to go to the airport but it was touch and go for a while there!!

Our flight was at noon out of Boston, so my dad picked us up around 8 to head from Maine to Boston.

We traveled in matching sweatshirts 😍

We got into the city and through security pretty easily.

We checked two bags that weighed in at EXACTLY 50 pounds each. I guess this is the last trip we can get away with no suitcase for Nora!

Speaking of Nora, she was a huge fan of the escalators and moving walkways in the airport.

Once we found our gate and ensured it existed, we went to the play area to let her blow off some steam.

After running around like a chicken with her head cut off, it was time for some donuts from Dunkin.

We had more than enough time as things had been running very smoothly. We headed back to let Nora do some more playing before boarding.

We do not board early because I do not need MORE time with a toddler in a confined space lol

Ian got the carseat loaded up and soon we were taking off.

We do not do screens at home apart from family movies together, so the seatback TV kept Nora entertained the entire flight. I personally wished she would've napped, but she was an angel, and I was grateful lol

3 hours later we made it to MCO around 4 PM!

Nora was excited about the "monorail"

Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed following along. Nora is just adorable, I loved the photos at Chef Mickey’s and her dress is lovely. From experience I know that trips with toddlers can seem like hard work sometimes but it is so worth it and you looked like you had a wonderful time.

Have a great time on your 24 hour trip, looking forward to reading about it.

Today was LL booking day for our 24 hour trip! We will probably arrive around 1030 and need to leave by 7.

I couldn’t get an ILL for 7DMT like I hoped and Tiana was all gone but I’m fairly happy with what we ended up with. I mostly wanted one for right when we got there so we could immediately book another.

Mostly looking forward to a slow pace, snacks and sunshine! And time with my mama 🥰
