DAY 11 -THURSDAY

Today is a travel day.  With our flight leaving Seattle at 11:45 this morning (2:45 p.m. Ft. Lauderdale time), we were afforded a little extra sleep.  Most of the kids reported that they were asleep by midnight (which is good for them!).
 
After breakfast we gathered in the lobby at 8:45 a.m. so that the moms could do their last room check of the trip.  They have always managed to find something left behind at each hotel stay.  We were scheduled for the 9:05 airport shuttle.



Since we had a large group going on the airport shuttle, the front desk ordered an extra shuttle bus for us.  It's a good thing---we weren't the only ones headed to the airport.

Our take off from Sea-Tac airport provided us with a spectacular view of Mt. Rainier.


 
 
And now we were buckled in for our 5 hour trip to Houston.  Greeting us as we deplaned in Houston was the heat and humidity we had not experienced since we left Ft. Lauderdale.  In an instant, we knew we weren't on the west coast any longer.
 
 
Our lay over was long enough for some of the kids to grab a snack or sandwich, since our scheduled arrival into Ft. Lauderdale was 11:00 p.m.  In just a few short hours, we were home where smiling parents greeted us at the baggage claim.  There were lots of smiles and hugs!  And just like that, the 2014 Kirk Singer Concert Tour had come to an end.  My special thanks to Lesley Karentz and Karen Woods who were our chaperones for this trip.  They truly made it special and memorable.  Thanks, as always, for your thoughts and prayers.
