We Are Complete! ( Chapter Thirteen)

Going to florida

Thursday July 14 th 2024

** It's like eight am, and the kids are all wondering why they have to leave Jamaica! They are hoping that they are not going back home just yet, they got on the plane right on time, Carina is sitting next to Chloe and has Nicolas on her right side, he's sitting in the plane seat, in his car seat, he's babbling away, Lorenzo is really really excited about Florida! He's hoping to even swim with the dolphins. **

8h38 am
Lorenzo: momma, you know what I would really love to do for my birthday?
Carina: what's that?
Lorenzo: I saw that you can actually swim with the dolphins and I love dolphins so much, remember when I was younger I had sea creatures on my bedroom wall!
And I had a dolphin painted right above my head and it was so cute!
Carina: yea I remember that because I drew them all for you, and uhhh, we'll see about it, okay, cause you're definitely going to have to go with an adult, and grandpa and grandma are too old to go, mommy is heavily pregnant so she's out of the picture..
Lorenzo: yea, I know, but you know who can come with me?
Carina: I know, I'm your only option.. but I'm petrified of deep blue sea.... where I can't see my feet.  I'm saying MAYBE !
Lorenzo: okay, I won't force you to do it with me momma, but it'll be a good opportunity for you to face your fears of the deep blue sea...!
Carina: I know .... Maybe later, are there any activities in Florida !
Lorenzo: yea, and in Dominican Republic too !
So if it's not this week, we're still going to be able to go on my birthday! Please please!
Carina: fine. T'll do it with vou. JUST KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ... for me to actually agree to doing this with you !

Maya : what are you two talking about? You look absolutely petrified babe !

Carina : I think I just accepted to go swimming with the dolphins with Lorenzo... what am I going to do...  Why did I agree to that?

Maya : ouhhhh , it could be fun babe.
Don't worry about it.

Alessandro: and I heard that they even have gondola rides , can we go on those , please it's super safe , and we do a tour of the different animals that live around there!

Carina: I uhhhhh !

Maya : Come on babe, I love that one, when we were on one of our dates before we had our beautiful children.. and it's one I can go on !

Carina: fine , we'll go on the gondola tour ride, whenever that happens.

Lorenzo: wait what? A gondola tour ride? With momma in it? So cool! Can't wait ! Yesss ! We're just in the middle of vacation and it's already off to a good start.

Carina: let's start by getting to Florida !

** One plane ride later to Florida , they immediately went to their hotel and went to the beach and they brought their own shovel and buckets for sand castles and sand houses! **

17h21

Alessandro: woahhh the view is so beautiful in Florida !
Carina: right!
Londyn : where is my sand bucket momma ! I only have my pink shovel with me.
Carina: it's right there in the beach bag !

Londyn : ohhh , yayyy !

Maya : are you okay babes you've been really quiet lately , well since we've landed in Florida !
Carina: yea I'm fine, I'm just anxious about the swimming with dolphins and the gondola ride...

Lorenzo: ohhh , I don't want you to be all stressed out about that momma , if you want to only do one of those things It's fine. I prefer having my momma being stress free and happy on vacation then having her all tensed up and anxious about every activity that I want to do for my birthday.

Carina: Awnn ! That's really sweet of you bambino! I'm sorry I'm petrified of deep blue sea ! But how about this , we're all going to be going on the gondola ride, together as a family and then if I am brave enough to go swimming with the dolphins I will.

Lorenzo: are you sure momma ? I don't want to force you into doing anything that you don't want to do, I mean that's what mommy and you have been teaching us kids, all throughout our lives!

Maya : there's a gondola ride tour planned for tomorrow and after tomorrow..

Carina: book the one where we're all going to have a place in the boat babe!

Maya : alright, so there's 8h30 am , 10h30 am or 13h30 ohhh and another one scheduled for 15h30 ! Same hours for after tomorrow as well!

Carina: ouhhhh eight thirty is too early for us , uhhhh enzooooo , which time do you prefer, eight thirty, ten thirty, one thirty or three thirty in the afternoon.

Lorenzo: uhhhh ! Hemmm maybe after the little kids nap time?
Maya : bambino , we're going to have them nap according to the time you choose!
It's okay!
Lorenzo: oh alright then I prefer the ten thirty in the morning.

Carina: perfect! Babe, sign us up for ten thirty tomorrow morning!!!

Maya : alright perfect!

** she schedule the gondola boat ride for ten thirty tomorrow morning! **

It even says it's super duper safe babe !

Carina: good job Giovanni, you're doing a great job building your roads !
Giovanni: you think so momma ?

Carina: yesss ! You can even get a little bit of water from the ocean and then make your road a little bit more rideable!
Chloe : I'll go get you some water from the ocean Gio !

Carina: ouhhh excellent! Thank you Chloe !

Chloe : you're welcome momma !

** later that evening the younger kids started to miss being home, and Maya started having severe pain and contractions... so she wanted to talk to Carina about maybe going home earlier than they had originally planned . Carina kind of missed being home too ! Lorenzo only agreed to that plan if they leave AFTER HIS BIRTHDAY! Which Maya was definitely fine with that. Everyone was really exhausted from their day! They went to bed at 21h30 . **
