Spring Break 2019 Miami days 4+5

It poured down rain for 20 minutes this morning. We had no idea all cozy in our room. But when I headed out to the pool at 845 everything was soaking wet and the clouds were blowing over. Oh well. I still settled in and the rest of the day was beautiful. 

Yes that is my freshly pedicured toes! Chrome polish that I had done Sunday before we headed down to Miami.

Ally lounged in a pool chair all day. It was so adorable. 

Eventually Ally and Becky took a walk on the beach. 

It was too windy to enjoy the beach today so they headed back to join me at the pool after a walk. 

We headed back to our room around 445 (yes 8 hours hanging out at the pool!) ordered pizza and watched Ghostbusters in our room.

Ally’s looking forward to a bubble bath in the gigantic tub after the movie. Then it will be bedtime!

Oh and Ally lost a tooth yesterday and another one is loose and might come out tonight. Last year she lost teeth in London when we were there for Spring Break!

There are only a few left to lose. Then it will be time for braces.

Day 5

We were scheduled to fly out at 530pm but we woke up to an alert that our flight was delayed. So we rescheduled to an earlier flight. Ate room service in the room and then checked out. 

Right before we left for the airport we got another alert that the flight was delayed later than our original flight!

So we called and got back on our original flight and headed over to a Miami Arts District called Wynwood. We walked around in 85 degree weather looking at murals. Stopped for a quick bite to eat and then had the worst Uber ride back to our hotel. 

On the ride back we got another alert that our flight was delayed again.

We took a break at the hotel and then another Uber to the airport.

After a very long and chatty ride to the airport we arrived to chaos in Ft Lauderdale airport. Flights delayed to and from everywhere. We arrived at the airport at 430pm.

Flights were continuing to get delayed later and later. At one point we ran across the terminal to catch a flight to Hartford CT. But by the time we got there it was delayed too. 

Finally at 930pm we gave up. We’d been waiting 5 hours. Flights were starting to get cancelled. Our Boston flight was canceled and there was no word when the Hartford flight would take off at all. So I waited in line and Becky waited at the gate with Ally and called JetBlue. We wanted to get to Boston. When was the next available flight to Boston. 

Our options were 7pm Sunday night or 7am Monday morning. We decided Monday morning so we could get a good night sleep and enjoy the weekend in Fort Lauderdale. 

I left the line, booked a hotel as I walked back to meet Ally and Becky and at 10:15pm we left the airport for our new hotel. 

We have never been so happy to get to a hotel. We were a bit wound up, well Ally and I were. And so it was after midnight by the time we were asleep. It’s 1030am and Ally is still sleeping soundly. 

Here some pictures of our day.

Chocolate chip pancakes. Ally’s favorite and omlettes for her moms. It was delicious. 

We were dressed to head back to Boston not adventure Miami in the heat so while there we were very hot.

Tween I’m hot look.

Becky was a good sport with pictures.

It took Ally a bit to get into it. 

Ice cream makes it all better!
