Amelia Island Trip - DAY SEVEN - June 20th

June 20th was the last day of our trip, and mostly a day of travel.  We were up early to pack and get to the airport on time.  Not as early as our trip to Florida, though!  This time our flight out of Jacksonville was at 9AM.

We said goodbye to Villa 1A:

 and our zippy rental car!

We got to the airport, dropped off the rental car, and found our gate.  It was then that I realized just how tan the kids got - they also picked up some freckles across their noses!

Seasoned pros handing over their boarding passes:

We had a nice flight from Jacksonville to Detroit.  It was long enough to almost watch a whole movie.  Mads and I watched Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.  Daddy and Nate watched a movie together too.  

When we got to Detroit we didn't have much of a layover and our plane to Milwaukee was in a different terminal.  After confusion on my part and insisting we NOT take the Tram (when we should have - Andrew as right) we flew down every moving walkway as fast as we could with kids in tow and made it to the next plane just as they began to board!

 Daddy grabbed some snacks for the plane.  Good thing, too, since the flight to Milwaukee was so short that they didn't have time to bring out the snack cart!  Daddy and Nate shared some Combos!

 While Mads enjoyed some chips!

 We made it safely to Milwaukee, grabbed our bags and off to the shuttle we went!  The kids were big helpers pulling their luggage!

We got back to the van and drove home.  We got home by 3:00 and stopped to see Amelia at her spot.  We had a couple presents to drop off for her:

We found her spot decorated wonderfully!  

The dozen roses came from Gramma J!

  We brought Amelia a pink dolphin that says Amelia Island on it!  :)

 Happy Birthday Sweet Babes!  :)

After telling Amelia all about our trip we headed home and then it was time to do the laundry from vacation!  Amazing how quickly the relaxing vibe of vacationing disappears, isn't it?  :)

Overall we had an absolutely fabulous time on our trip.  We made the trip special for everyone and made sure to celebrate one little Angel's birthday the best that we could!  Happy Birthday Sweet Amelia, we hope you enjoyed your birthday vacation!
