WARNING!!
Long Post!!
Last weekend my mother, Drake and I took a quick trip to Islamorada, Florida for my cousin's wedding. This was Drake's first time on an airplane so I was a little nervous on how this trip would turn out. On the way there we didn't spend much time sitting around in airports. We barely made our flight in Birmingham and barely made the flight in Atlanta. And he did great on both flights!! We were in Miami in no time!

Last weekend my mother, Drake and I took a quick trip to Islamorada, Florida for my cousin's wedding. This was Drake's first time on an airplane so I was a little nervous on how this trip would turn out. On the way there we didn't spend much time sitting around in airports. We barely made our flight in Birmingham and barely made the flight in Atlanta. And he did great on both flights!! We were in Miami in no time!
By the time we made it to Islamorada we were all exhausted and ready to relax. We decided to let Drake stretch his legs and we went wondering around the resort to see all it had to offer. He loved every minute of it. That boy loves being outside. Soon as we would walk in the room he would go right back to the door ready to go again. He also loved the balcony and his favorite part was throwing his baby off the balcony. After a couple of times of throwing his baby and pillow we called it a night.
The next day was the BIG day for Blaire! We got dressed and went to see her while she was getting ready for her day. After we visited with Blaire we decided to try and find something to eat for lunch. Well that was a little harder than we thought! Apparently popcorn shrimp is hard to find in Islamorada. They had plenty of Conch which I am not a fan of at all. We finally found a place and it was delicious.
Later on that afternoon we decided to get some rest before the wedding. Drake and I took a nap while mother went and helped Blaire get dressed. It was finally time for Andrew and Blaire to get married!! And as usual Drake will not cooperate and is talking loudly and running like a chicken with his head cut off! The only person he wanted was his Meme so they stood in the very very back during the wedding.
After the wedding everyone hung around and talked while they took their pictures. And I chased Drake for about an hour. It is impossible for this little boy to sit steal! (I wonder were he gets that from! Hunter!) They had a sit down dinner which we didn't do a whole lot of sitting. Drake visited everyone high fiving the guys and flirting with the ladies. We finally decided to call it a night! I was exhausted and I know he had to be tired!!
We wake up and get dressed fairly early since we had to be at MIA by 1:00. We get everything packed and loaded in the car and start heading north! The weather was beautiful and I knew by the time we got home it would be cold and rainy. Boo! But we managed to get to the airport and had plenty of time to spare. We wait patiently for our plane to Atlanta it finally arrives and we get in the air and luckily Drake falls asleep! We had a good flight from MIA to ATL.
And this is when things start getting interesting to say the least! We make it to ATL with time to spare and didn't have to rush to another concourse. We are patiently waiting on our plane which they announce is running late. By this time Drake is OVER this day and ready to be home. Well the plane ends up arriving a little after it was supposed to and they quickly board on us on the plane. And that is when everything really goes down hill quick. Well Drake was not having and wanted to run around so he screamed from ATL to BHM. The weather was yucky and the turbulence was awful. I had already managed to pick up a cold while in Islamorada so between the turbulence and sinus pressure I was trying to keep from vomiting everywhere! Drake wouldn't sit still he wanted me then he wanted my mom. That was just adding to my nausea along with screaming during this flight. A 30 minute flight felt like hours!! Well it turns out it was hours! We made it to BHM but couldn't land due to weather so we kept circling the airport and eventually had to fly back to ATL. By this time i was ready to kill someone and probably wouldn't have thought twice about it!!
We make it back to ATL and have to wait 45 minutes to refuel. While waiting we changed Drake's diaper cause it was soaking wet. Take his diaper off and he starts peeing everywhere!! I mean all of the seats gets it on his socks and shoes. And of course he is screaming during the entire process. Finally get that disaster cleaned up and the plane is ready to go. Fortunately he slept the entire way back to BHM with a nice and quite ride. I know everyone on that plane was ready to kill us. We were originally supposed to land at 6:30 and we didn't get back until around 10:00. Needless to say I will not be flying anywhere anytime soon especially with Drake!
