We woke up Tuesday morning and headed over to Aquatica, SeaWorld's water park. It was pretty neat. I will say though that it was nothing like the pictures online! We didn't go on any of the major water slides, simply because of the lines. We stayed in the Walkabout Waters area the entire day and had a blast!
My only gripe was when it came time to eat lunch. If you are planning to go to any amusement park and eat at a restaurant DO NOT table squat! There is nothing worse than walking around, carrying a tray of food, through a crowd, with small children, trying to find a place to sit and eat. And there is no one more rude than a table squatter. Seriously people! The line inside is forever long and you need to get your butt up so those of us with food can eat. I promise you that by the time your band of hooligans gets their food, we will be done and on our way. There is a system and you are jackin' it up! In case you are wondering what a table squatter is, it is a person who is taking up a table and not eating...no food in sight.
Wednesday:
Over the bridge and across the state to Tampa we go! We met up with The Brain's brother and sister-in-law for a day at Busch Gardens. FYI - No more free beer...
We fed kangaroos, had Lorys on our heads, and Boy 2 rode his first roller coaster - The Scorpion. It even has a loop and a spiral! When he got off all he could say was, "That was totally wicked! Lets do it again!"
Afterwards, we went to the in-laws for dinner. An awesome day!

Thursday:
Thursday was our relax day. In the morning we went back to SeaWorld and then hung out at the pool in the afternoon. That night we went to Downtown Disney for dinner and a little shopping. The boys fell in love with the Lego store! We went to a restaurant called T-Rex for dinner and it was the coolest place ever! The website does not do it justice, so here is a picture of where we sat, the coral reef.
Friday:
Check out was at 11:00 so we checked out and went back to Downtown Disney for lunch at Planet Hollywood and some more shopping. After that we drove up to Daytona Beach to visit with family and just relax.
The water was crazy Friday! The current was way stronger than I was comfortable with so we made our way back up to the condo to hang out with the family.
Saturday:
Fun in the sun complete with boogie boards and burying people in the sand, killer Mojitos and Margaritas, and an awesome shrimp boil! What more could you want? Oh yeah, roasted marshmallows and a night walk on the beach!
Sunday:
All good things must come to an end...but not without more shopping and a trip to St. Augustine!
