All systems go!

I'm not really feeling the excitement, Aron.
This one's excited, though! So's Baby who is sitting next to her in her own car seat.
This one looks like a seasoned traveler with a book to read.
We went to St Augustine, Florida via Skybus. For those of you who don't know of Skybus, it's a very economical way to fly out of Columbus to numerous cities. Their gimmick is that they sell you super cheap flights with none of the extras (like in-flight food, pillows, etc.). They sell the first ten seats of every flight for $10 one way then the price goes up from there. We bought our tickets really early (think July) and ended up getting our tickets for $60 for a round trip per person (a steal!!). We've had several friends that have flown Skybus so we pretty much knew what to expect. It was the first flights for the kids. I think Luke's favorite part of the trip there was riding on the shuttle van from the parking lot to the airport. He thought it was a bus and was soooooo excited to be riding on a bus. He's going to be tickled pink for his grade school years--buses all over the place! Ella had to take her new BFF (aka Baby) on the plane with us. Baby went with us to quite a few of the places in St Augustine but sometimes I enforced a strict "Baby's gotta stay at the hotel and take a nap" while the rest of us sightsee (think Annie got tired of lugging the thing around). The flight itself was fine. Nothing major happened. No meltdowns from the kids. Ella didn't really like the landing because she said the pilot was going too fast and which made it bumpy when we touched down. Who cared if it was a little bumpy 'cause
WE'RE GOING TO FLORIDA! Meanwhile, back in Ohio, they were having crazy amounts of snow.
