Traveling with 8, 5, and 2

The first one awake was Sophie at 5:00 ready to start the trip. Everyone was ready and in the car about 6:30 heading to Charlotte Airport. After checking several bags we went through the check points and arrived at our gate in perfect time.

Haleigh was a little apprehensive, so she thought she should study up on all the safety measures that could become necessary.

This was our original seating, but those changed often as Mackenzie couldn't get settled unless she was with her Daddy.

That apparently settled both of them (and the man next to them was as happy about that as anyone!)

Many hours later, two successful flights, all baggage picked up, shuttle bus to rent a car...

it was the rental car experience of about 1 1/2 hours that about got us. BUT we made it!!
(Check out the stack of luggage behind the girls, yeah that is all ours!)

Around 5:00 (7:00 our body time) we arrived at our first destination of interest the Denver Aquarium!! Even better the Denver Aquarium Restaurant!!! Our table was right beside an eight foot wall of the aquarium where all kinds of fish, sharks and anemone amazed the girls while Mark and I chowed down.
