Florida day 4


Today was Seaworld. . This was the day my kids were really looking forward too. 
We had a super long bus ride to get there, but it was ok since the park didn't open until 9 but a lot of attractions didnt' open until 10 
This time i got a stroller for the kids, as i knew it would do more walking and looking at animals. We got to see things that we missed last time like the Shark encounter and  Shamu's happy harbor (kids play area) We saw the Shamu show but skipped the other ones. 
There is no picture on here, but Bella and I got to touch the dolphins and got our picture taken with them. 
Happy Birthday to me :)  
I didn't want to be home for my birthday. I knew it would miss Josh too much. It was hard to be on vacation too. It was a good day and we got back to the hotel early enough to enjoy ourself there for while before bed time. I also spent it packing as we flew out early the next morning.

Florida Day 3

Today is the relaxation day. We woke up and we're lazy watching tv before heading to breakfast. My kids loved watching nick Jr. While eating breakfast. 
There we got back into our rental cat and headed for water. 
We had to make a stop at Walmart for beach towels and snacks. 
I was looking for the beach we visited last time, but we found one closer and just paid to park. It was a smart idea as we only 100 ft from the beach. 
The kids enjoyed the ocean, sand and shells. 













We arrived home to our hotel and decided to rest a bit before hitting up the hotel pool. We stayed there until it was too cold. Then it was supper and attempted to go to sleep.

Florida day 2

Morning came too quickly. We got up early and headed out to find the localtion of the breakfast. It was located in The Mall, which was a few minutes from our room. It was a nice breakfast buffet.
We then hit up the shuttle bus to Magic kingdom. We didn't get in as early as I hoped but we got there soon enough. We took the monorail over to the park. The kids loved that. 
Our first stop was the train around the park. Max liked that one. I'm not sure I've ever taken it so it was nice to see something new. Then we hit up Dumbo. They added an indoor play area which the kids liked. It was again something new. 
Then we went to Its a small world. We had a fast pass which was good since it was already so busy. We enjoyed the boat ride as it's a classic for Walt disneyworld. Afterwards we got a snack from an ice cream cart. we ate in line for the Carousel. The ride was fun, but Max decided to sit on the bench, so he go mad half way through when i said he couldn't switch his seat.  Next up we went to Adventures of Winne the pooh. We knew it would be while, but it was forever. We discovered that the kids couldn't do anything with that long of a wait, so we changed our fastpasses for the afternoon.
We went to find lunch at somewhere we could sit down in a/c. Well Max fell asleep as we got our food, so we had a nice long lunch. The plan after that was to head down main street to do some shopping and wait for the parade.
The kids picked out toys, i got a few things before we found a seat by city hall. Only bummer was that the parade was going to end there instead of start, so that meant we had to wait a bit longer. The parade was good. I videoed it so i got no pictures from it.
We then decided to take the train back around to Fantasy land, so we went up to the train after the parade. We saw a storm arriving and tried to get us somewhere that the rain wouldn't affect us too much. Well the train stopped in adventure land and we had to hustle to find somewhere to go before the rain came. We ended up at the Hall of Presidents. I brought coats for the kids but nothing for me. We stayed there about a half an hour before we asked someone about the weather, and it was suppose to rain the rest of the night. So we made the choice to leave Magic Kingdom early. It was a bummer as we weren't going to come back, so we missed out on a few rides. The kids didn't seem to mind though.
We took the ferry back to the parking lot and then tried to figure out how to get back to the hotel because we thought we missed the bus. Turns out we didn't. Thankfully we got a seat on the leaky bus. We picked out Supper at hte Mall before heading back to our room to dry off and rest.

Florida day one

Monday morning we left home around 9 am, picked up nana and headed to the airport. The parking was interesting as I've never had to park in the ramp so unsure where to go. We had a bit of a walk to the ticket counter but we made it. Checked our bags then headed to get lunch. We ate at the little burger and shakes place before heading towards sercurity. Yah for having kids, I got to breeze through and the kids did great.  We played for a bit in the play room before watching the big airplanes at the terminal.
Boarding wasn't fun, but I sat with the two kids and mom sat in front of us. The plane ride went really well, and it was pretty smooth. We had a layover in Atlanta, so we found supper and Starbucks there. We boarded again and headed to Orlando. 
We got into Orlando and it was sticky! We forgot what hot and humid was. We got our rental car even though it took forever! Then only had one missed turn getting to our hotel. 
We stayed at the nickelodeon suites. It was in the process of being remodeled and you could tell. Thankfully it had enough beds for all of us and a/c. We unpacked a bit before hitting the sack!
