Jan 1st: Time to head to Pop Century!

We woke up and slowly got ready to head towards Orlando. CW was feeling pretty awful at this point, Chad was wonderful filling in for manly duties like loading and unloading our luggage.
We made several stops on the way down,
Walmart for medicine... bathroom breaks, fresh air breaks, and of course a stop to the outlets in St. Augustine for some shopping!

We arrived early evening and the kids were begging to stop at one of the parks. We ended up going to Epcot and spent a couple of hours before going back to our room to check on poor CW.
After seeing he was feeling ok, we grabbed a quick bite. Carolin and I ventured out, I decided I would hunt down our UK buddies without Carolin knowing. When we found the floor they were on, we turned a corner and I could see a familiar looking teen standing outside stargazing.

You could tell Kerry was wondering if it was us too. After big hugs and lots of talking with two other sweeties (Bex & Becky), Kerry fetched her mother to suprise her.

Mandy walked in her room to find company... sorry!
After hugs and lots of conversation, Carolin & I went back to our room. Carolin couldn't wait to tell Chad who she just saw and quicker than you can say Mickey Mouse he grabbed Carolin to escort him to see his buddies!

Seeing
the Martindale's and Bex was a great start to the vacation! I have really missed my dancing queens!

(I'm hoping we can all get together again soon!!)
