On saturday we woke up early and got the condo cleaned. We had to be out of there at 11 but our plane didnt leave til 530. We decided not to stick around Orlando but just head straight to the airport in Tampa. Tampa's airport is pretty cool and they dont have everyone stand in the same security line they send you to the different gate areas to do security. So everyone that has a departing plane from an A gate will go through Gate A security, Everyone from B gates will go through Gate B security, etc. When we got in line there was only about 10 people in line so we thought we would get through quick. NO SUCH LUCK!!!! Glad that we were there early. It took about an hour to get through the check because there were so many old people in wheel chairs so they had to do a more thorough security check because the people couldnt get out of the chairs.
Once we got to our gate we saw that there was a really cute play area that was geared towards younger kids. Tyson loved it. they had a squishy slide that Tyson could climb up by himself and go down. He would climb the slide over and over again. Once he was at the top he would start talking really loud and get so excited. You could tell that he was so proud of himself. The gate next to us was going to Canada and all the kids that were playing around us all spoke french. This little girl who was about 6 kept playing with Tyson and helping him up the slide. She didnt know english except "good job" so she kept saying that to him. Tyson really liked the attention.
Even though we had a 4 hour wait in the airport, the time went by so fast and soon we were boarding. Again I had booked our seats so that we would hopefully have the middle seat open. Again no luck. Right after we took off Tyson fell asleep. The flight was the worst that I have ever been on. We flew through rain the entire flight so the turbulence was aweful. Since I had gotten pregnant with Tyson I started getting motion sick which I never dealt with before. So this flight was very challenging. It ended up being so bumpy that the flight attendents could serve drinks. I was dying for some sprite or gingerale. We were not able to get anything until about an hour before we landed. But something worse happened. Half way through the flight Tyson woke up and started throwing up all over the place. He didnt cry or whine or bother anyone the entire flight but he threw up 4 times. I felt so bad for the guy sitting next to us. He was so sweet though and kept saying how well behaved Tyson was.
We thought that he was getting motion sick because he didnt have a fever or seem like he felt bad. The next morning though he started throwing up again and then Haas and I got sick. We call it the Orlando special since other family members had it too. So for the next week we hung out sick at home. We are all feeling better though and now we are planning Tysons birthday and are so thankful that he is back to his old self!!!
