Florida: Day 1- Settling In

The girls woke me up at 8, already wearing their swimsuits.  "Momma, can we go in the pool?!"
How could I turn them down?!  And to make things better, Grandma was willing to go in with them.


We didn't have food at the house yet and it was supposed to rain today so our plan for the day was to settle in.  While the kids got their time in the pool, the grown ups showered and around late morning we were out the door on our way to get some food!

We tried to eat at the Waffle House but the 20 minute wait proved to be too long for this hungry bunch.  We found a TGIFriday's nearby and had lunch.
After lunch we went to Disney Springs, a.k.a. Downtown Disney.





We had some drinks and did some shopping.  It felt amazing to be outside wearing shorts, tshirts and sandals!  I think we may need to plan a warm weather vacation every year from now on.  This is the life!


 






After our adventure on the town, we dropped the guys and kids off at the house and then Judy and I ran some errands.  To Publix for groceries, Target for more groceries and the liquor store.  We grilled steaks for dinner and enjoyed our evening at our home for the week.

After the kids went to bed I planned out our week. Monday-Epcot, Tuesday- Magic Kingdom, Wednesday- golfing for the guys and Animal Kingdom in the afternoon, Thursday- the beach, Friday- Hollywood Studios and Saturday- back home- BOO!  When we planned to be here for a week, it seemed like such a long time.  Now that our week is planned out it already feels half over :-(

I spent the last part of the evening setting up Fast Passes and scoping out the park maps.

It did end up raining pretty hard tonight.  We got some texts from home asking us if we were ok and when we turned on the news we found out that the Floridians were calling this severe weather.  Maybe there was some further away from where we were but thankfully we just had a lot of rain.
