In case you've never been there, here's a little overview of hell...
Hell is:-traveling with three small children to a far away place (enough said, oh wait, there's more)
-waiting on a plane for two hours to take off due to wind shear with three small children
-holding a screaming, extremely hungry baby on the plane for two hours while waiting to take off with no hot water to make a bottle, then flying for another hour and a half with the same baby. Oh and the other 2 kids screaming for various unknown reasons.
-Getting on and off the plane with three small children, two car seats, along with 5 carry on bags.
-Getting to the car with said children, three large bags, a stroller, 5 carry on bags, and three car seats.
-2 year olds vomiting with out warning
-repeat episodes of vomiting days later
-2 year olds covertly ingesting large quantities of prescription drugs
-Being at a hospital all day with a 2 year old
-Vomiting simultaneously with your 4 year old all night long, and periodically falling asleep on the bathroom floor
-arriving home at the airport and not having any help whatsoever getting from the terminal to the baggage claim with said children, carseats, bags, etc. an approximate 2 mile walk, including several moving sidewalks, a train, and multiple elevators. All the while waiting for the repeat vomiting episodes to begin.
-hearing a grown man vomit repeatedly
-getting on another plane and repeating the routine within 3 days for another glorious trip to a far away place.

Glad to hear you had a good time! Isn't vacationing with children so relaxing and enjoyable? Where did you go on your second trip?
Man, when do I get to come hang out with your family? It sounds like so much fun! Next time, let's vacation togehter!
Your trip(s) sound awesome! I missed getting to see you guys, but thanks for keeping your germs to yourself!
Oh, I've been to hell before. That's the only destination our family takes. Nothing is more fun than traveling with small children, but adding some vomit and an overdose ER trip to that makes it so much more enjoyable.
I feel your pain.
You never mentioned where the "hell" you went!

I have much sympathy for you after reading this post. What a crappy day! Tyson says your his new vomit hero!
You are so hilarious! You poor thing! The joys of motherhood........
WOW! I can't believe how crazy your trip was. I suppose my relaxing "oh, the joovy will save your life" comment wasn't much help!
I'm so sorry I didn't get to see you in Idaho!
