Vacation 2010: Friday - Monday

Our Florida vacation was so wonderful and much needed.

Friday and Saturday:

We left on Friday, 07/16, and headed down to Ocala to visit with family. The Brain went to play golf while the boys and I swam in the pool with the Grandmas. A relaxing way to start Vacation 2010.










Sunday:
We left Ocala and headed to Orlando for the week. Our Google Maps directions were a little...ummm wrong.. and had us exit off of the toll road on a " Sun Pass" exit... we may be receiving a $100 ticket in the mail shortly...Thanks Google Map Makers! We checked in at The Hilton Orlando around 5:00. The hotel was sweet! The staff was really nice, even when there was no reason to be! That evening we hung out at the pool. Which was the coolest pool I have ever seen. It was huge with zero entry on both ends. It had it's own lazy river complete with waterfalls, steam, and water squirty things. It also had it's own really cool twisty water slide, water basketball courts, and kid fountains, and cabanas. Around the pool bar were Foosball and pool tables. There were also giant fire pits and an adults only pool with a hot tub.
















Sorry there is a glare, I took the picture through the window.

Monday:
It's Sea World time! Sea World was pretty awesome. We got to pet dolphins and sting rays and see some incredible shows. The Shamu show was neat and of course we sat in the soak zone!! My favorites though were the dolphin show and the acrobatic show. We didn't ride many rides at sea world, however we did go on Journey to Atlantis - pretty nifty.

















I did get into a rather nasty discussion with a 'lady' at the dolphin petting area...

Lucy...We're home!

Our Florida vacation was amazing!

Ocala; Orlando - Sea World, Aquatica, and Downtown Disney; Tampa Bay- Busch Gardens; Daytona Beach; And a visit to Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine.

As soon as all of the after vacation chores (a.k.a laundry, grocery shopping, more laundry) are done, I promise to blog all about it! I have so much to share with you!

Want to say a quick "Hello and welcome to my world!" to all of my new readers, both U.S and international!

This blog grew like crazy while I was away!

By The Way:

Either The Brain never checked his work email or he did so in secret...only he knows...

The postman will arrive at dawn

The boys have devised their own secret agent spy language.

Which I think is awesome!

Even though I have no idea what they are talking about half of the time now.

The postman has already arrived.
