I need a vacation from our vacations!!!

Well, we are back! Florida was a lot of fun, tiring but fun! We had an early flight out of St. Louis and got to Orlando at 10:30am. After getting our rental car and some food we headed off to SeaWorld. Both of the kids fell asleep in the car and we actually had to wake up Mason so he could see the animals. Mason loved all the animals and had a great time and Morgan tolerated the heat very well. After SeaWorld we headed out to Daytona Beach. We got stuck in some traffic, but that only lasted for about 30 minutes. Towards the end of our traffic fun, I realized we left Morgan's pack and play at the airport. Neither of us could believe we did it, and we decided that we would NOT be going back to get it since traffic was bad. I still can't believe we grabbed everything else and just left that! We got to Daytona and checked in, got to our room (which was huge and nice) and got the kids settled for the evening. The next day we took to boys to the beach and pool. Mason loved the water (as he usually does)and Morgan also liked the water. I put his toes in the ocean and he stood there and loved it. It was a bit windy and sand was everywhere (duh, I know) so we headed up to the pool area. Morgan liked the pool a lot better than the ocean so we hung out there for a bit longer. Amazingly enough that was the only day we went down there! A lot of our vacation was dictated by nap times. On Thursday we went to the Ocean Walk Village where there are some shops and got some t-shirts from this really cool store. The shirts look black and white, but when they are in the sun light it fills in with color. Then we ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. . It was raining that day so we headed back to the room and all napped until the evening. Since we were leaving the next day I cooked dinner and started some laundry while Mike took Mason on a late night swim in the pool. The next morning we got up left and was on our way out of Daytona. We stopped at Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse and it was very neat. We climbed to the top which was 203 steps! Mike was carrying Mason and I had Morgan. Needless to say we were both VERY sore from that, but I think it was worth it. Our next stop was Kennedy Space Center. Kennedy Space Center was probably the coolest thing we did on this vacation. There was so much to do that we didn't even manage to fit it all in. Had we not been leaving the next day, we would have went back for day two. After spending the day there we drove to Orlando, checked into the resort there. I had to drive to the airport to pick up the pack and play since they would not be open when we needed them to be at 5:30 am the next day. After I did that I came back, repacked bags got everything ready for an early morning wake-up of 4am. We got back into St. Louis at 9 am, came home and got ready for Mike's cousin Andrea's wedding.

It's all been crazy but we had a blast. I must say that I am glad it's over and am happy to get back to normal life again. With that said...normal life consists of decluttering this house and contacting a realtor so we can get this place on the market. Not so normal after all......
