At the end of June, we headed off to Florida for a big family vacation. My mother in law planned a trip for 15 of us... her 3 kids, their spouses, and all of the grandchildren. We were suppose to be in Disney World, but with COVID, we had to change plans, so, we headed off to Daytona and then spent a few days in Orlando.
Our flight was mid-morning, and I don't think flying has ever been easier. We flew Southwest and airlines are not sitting anyone in the middle seats. DJ and Adalyn sat together. Gretchen had a row by herself, and Megan and I were seat buddies. Masks are mandatory in the airport, although there were a handful of people not wearing them at all or had them off while sitting at the gate. During the flight, you could take your mask off when eating or drinking. The flight crew only gave water and a small snack, but other than to pick up trash twice, they weren't walking around.
Megan turned her doll's sleep mask in to a face mask.
We finally took our masks off at snack time. Megan's baby ate too.
Once we arrived in Orlando, we headed to dinner. We skipped lunch since we had a late breakfast and were flying over lunch time, but we were starving when we got off the plane. Because we ate around 4, the restaurant was practically empty. After dinner, they gave the girls hats.

We settled in to the rental car for the drive over to Daytona.
We passed the Daytona Speedway before hitting up the grocery store and checking in to the hotel.
A1A........ Detroit Avenue.
Our room had a spectacular view of the hotel pool and beach.
After getting unpacked a bit, we headed down to the beach and eventually called it a night.
Friday morning, we woke up and were ready for some fun in the sun!
Bomb Pops were a great way to cool down on the beach.
We headed to the hotel restaurant for lunch, then hit up the pool. Megan and her cousins did lots of cheer stunts in the pool.
Eventually, we made our way back down to the sand. Megan found the coolest piece of coral.
Love this big girl of mine.
Our nephew will be a senior this Fall. We're praying his senior year goes off without a hitch!

Megan loved playing in the sand and water.
Eventually, we all cleaned up and headed for dinner.
By this time, DJ's cousin and his cousin's girlfriend joined us.

After dinner, we had a little cousin sleepover. These girls couldn't wait to get up and do it all over again.
