Sorry to hear you last day at home didn't go to plan but i'm glad everything's ok with you.
Hope you are having a good trip and no more pains, off to read your blog now

That is awful about the stomach pains! You are okay though, right?

I'll be reading along in your blog!

Hi! I am reading along on your blog and just love that condo that you guys got! Seems like a gorgeous place with lots to do. Bet you cannot wait for the rest of your family to come....should be even more fun!
How far is that super Target you are mentioning? would love to visit and pick up essentials once we get there. Continued fun

BTW...I have tried to leave a message on your blog and it is just not happening...dunno why? Has anyone else mentioned this>

Love your blog entries. Was that lip gloss you were putting on your brother? Looking forward to more.

Melissa,
I hope you and your Family have a Safe and Fun Trip! I'm glad everything checked out well for you at the doctors!

Thanks so much! I was feeling a lot better yesterday and it's still a little sore now, but I'm sure it'll keep getting better. Thanks again!

I'm alright! It comes and goes but hopefully it goes for good soon! We've sure been doing a lot of snacking lately so I guess it's getting better Thanks again Brook!

Hi! Thanks so much for reading along! My friend can't post comments for some reason and I'm not sure why. I'll have to look into it.

The Super Target is five minutes from here, but we're around 15-minutes down 192 from Disney. There are a bunch of Super Target's around here that have a TON of stuff. We found the greatest souvenirs yesterday there too, all with the Disney tags on them. We got my little cousin Minnie ears for $4, I got a cute Disney t-shirt for $10, Minnie pajama pants for $9.99, and Mickey pajama shorts for $8.99. Can't beat that. I also got a cute princess hand held fan for $5.99 which I'm sure I'll use in the parks. They even had Disney licensed lanyards and a ton of pins for only $5 each, Definitely check it out!

Love your blog entries. Was that lip gloss you were putting on your brother? Looking forward to more.

Thanks so much! It was lipgloss... I told him not to fall asleep I have so many fun pictures from the drive down to share once we get back!





Thanks again to all of you for reading along! I look forward to going through our pictures every night and posting some fun experiences on the blog. Today we're going to the Beach Club to walk around and relax and dinner will be at Cracker Barrel. Yes, Cracker Barrel. I said I refused to go because of their social stances, but apparently they've been changed... and my parents love it so I've been outvoted My aunt and little cousin arrive on Thursday and are so excited! Every day we've been sending them a bunch of cell phone pictures to get psyched and my cousin calls us screaming that she's so excited she might cry It's so cute.

Our first day at Universal will be on Friday and we're all psyched to get on some rides! We passed the parks yesterday on our way to PF Changs and seeing the Rip, Ride, Rockit, Dudley Do-Right and Jurassic Park got us soooo excited! Ali and Aunt Stacy have never been so I'm especially excited about seeing their reactions to everything and seeing the parks through new eyes. Can't wait!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Sounds like you're having a great time so far! I hope HRRR opens while you're there. I'm itching to go but we just have a superbowl ticket and I can't go alone to try it out.
Have a great rest of trip!
