December 2 - He Tip Toed Away From Me

Vacation time! After a long week of robotics, band, swim meets, elementary 'spirit days' and fall festivities, it was time for our Florida adventure. We left Friday afternoon and arrived in Orlando around 8.30pm Saturday evening. We've been doing this drive for 15 years and this year was the worst traffic ever. Luckily, our kids are rockstar travelers so it wasn't too bad. We arrived at Hard Rock Hotel and everyone was excited for our Universal adventure. 

We got up bright and early on Sunday and headed to Islands of Adventure. After Hagrids, we headed to the Velocicoaster, and Jillian did her first REALLY big coaster. You guys, she LOVED it! She loved it so much she thinks the smaller coasters are too "little" for her now LOL. The day could not have been better. Beautiful weather and the park wasn't too busy. 

He ate all of it

Funniest memory of the day: at one point, Julia, Luke and I were separated from JD and Jillian and we headed towards Seuss Landing to find them. Julia and I waited on the side while Luke was confident he could find them. He accidentally bumped into a "Who" who "apologized and was super nice, and then he tiptoped away from me!" After meeting up with JD and Jillian, we tried to get a selfie with the tiptoeing Who, but he asked where my family was, and made them take a picture. So funny!

Monday was another beautiful day. The park was definitely busier but we still got on a lot of rides. After lunch, we headed back to the hotel and headed to the pool. JD and Jillian swam, I read, while Julia and Luke hung out and ate some pretzels. We went to the chocolate factory for dinner. Another great day!

We checked out of the hotel on Tuesday and headed to the park for another half day. We lucked out with more fabulous weather, got in a few rides and some shopping. So fun! 

Next stop, the farm!
