Orlando ~ Part 1

We were so anxious for this vacation!!  Our original plan was to take a spring break vacation to Orlando, Florida last spring break, but sadly we had to cancel due to me being pregnant and dialated.  So thankfully the time share that my dear in laws let us use allowed us to reschedule our trip for October during fall break.  Thursday after school we picked up the boys from school and traveled south!  Kids in van and excited to be on the road.
Nick excited to probably just "get there".

 We stopped overnight at our wonderful friends Philip and Lana's house in Atlanta.  Arrived there at 1am and left by 9am.  Kids eating breakfast outside.
 WOOHOOO....we finally made it to the Sunshine state.  We got out and had some juice and free popcorn at the rest stop. 
 Our resort was amazing!!  It had 6 buildings around a pond and had 5 pools, 2 lazy rivers, a splash pad and a couple water slides.  Kids had a ball.  More on swimming days in posts to come.


 I think we used the lazy rivers the most.  Or should I say the kids used it the most.  I didn't swim much at all. (slightly too cool for me until the last 2 days).
 We ate breakfast and lunch at the condo then for dinners we went out to eat.  It was fun trying many different restaurants.  I think the kids enjoyed it too, since we don't eat out much.  First night we ate at Houlihan's.  Second night we ate at Bahama Breeze which is my favorite!!  We ate outside on the heated patio and had some live steel drum music.  So fun!



Keep watch as I will post several more parts to our vacation.
