Day 1~ Sea World

OK So we didn't leave at 2. It was more around 4:15 but we still got here before 12:30! We have been having a great time already and we haven't even been to Disney yet! When we left SC it was raining and cold.Well it is SUNNY and a hot 85. I had to listen to a couple of my friends(they both start with a S) whine about being cold all last week:) Well they will hear me whine about being too hot this week! Sea World was really not crowded like it normally is. The kids didn't have to wait for any of the rides.Could we be that lucky at Disney? Um I doubt it!

We stopped at Burger King for breakfast and I left with royalty...lol!

Corey was the only one that wanted the free OJ.

We were in the Artic with all the "wild" animals. When did they start wearing clothes?

Aw he looks like a relative of mine...lol

I am always amazed at the "Believe" show

Our hotel is AWESOME! Thanks Jennifer for hooking us up:) But we are only here 1 night. We are leaving for Disney in the morning. Well we really just have to go 1 exit down:)

Disney or Bust

So we are on the road as this posts. We hopefully left around 2 this morning. I said hopefully though...lol. I love stopping by the Florida welcome center and it doesn't open till 8. They give you free orange juice, funny thing is I don't even like OJ.But the kids like getting the Disney brochures. Today we are going to Sea World for a half day. Might as well get use of our annual pass before it expires. Then in the morning we'll get up and head to Port Orleans inside Disney. Our great friends will be here Saturday morning.Then the "real" vacation begins. I think the kids are more excited about their friends coming with them than being at Disney:) Well I'm sure you read where the Internet is $10 per day at Disney. So I think I have come up with a blogging plan..lol. I am going to blog 2 posts every other day.I will post one right away then schedule the other for the next day. Hopefully there will be something new to read everyday if this works.

*** Do you remember I mentioned I might do a giveaway? I will put your name in for every comment you leave the WHOLE time I'm gone. So you have a good chance of winning. I'm not sure what it will be yet but it will be from Disney:) So start leaving those comments!!

I did not spend the WHOLE week with these crazy ladies.

I did not neglect my husband,kids and housework to do this all week.

We did not make over $12,000.00 in just 4 days! It was not worth all the time and hard work:)

We did not all go out Saturday to a wonderful dinner.Then head to Brusters to get ice-cream. We did not end up sitting there for an hour laughing like teenagers.

I do not have just 3 days to clean, do laundry and pack. Because we are not leaving in 3 days for the happiest place on earth with 2 of the above crazy ladies:)
