Here is my attempt at a trip report
March 9 - 20
Cast of characters: Bonnie (me!) 42 and resident vacation planner!
DH Shane 45 driver and happy doing anything!
DD Shayna 17 Disney nut and wishes she was American instead of Canadian!
DS Ben 14 wise guy who rolls with just about everything!
DS Jarrett 12 used to be the easy one to travel with but now has very little patience with crowds and anything that doesnt include swimming!
Day 1:
I have been planning this years March break trip for quite some time and was hoping to plan as wonderful a trip to Florida as we had last year.
We had planned to leave Ontario on the 10th of March, taking the kids out of school for two days before March break. A few days before we were scheduled to leave, my husband had the opportunity to schedule a business meeting in Florence, KY on the 9th, so we left a day early and drove 8 hours to Florence. What a nice place! Dropped him off and took the kids shopping at the Florence Mall. I was thrilled and of course they were thrilled because we used the afternoon to get the clothes shopping out of the way. I didnt know how we were going to squeeze in the Florida Mall once we got to Florida, so this worked out great for us! Shayna was dying to buy stuff at Abercrombie and Fitch because we dont have that chain here in Canada. I thought at one point she was going to work herself into a frenzy with the amount of stuff she was buying! Glad it was her money and not mine! Ben was thrilled to pick up some stuff too, but unfortunately malls are not Jarretts idea of a great afternoon. He just wanted to go swimming in the hotel pool! I had to bribe him with food and thankfully he didnt pull a fit at the mall.
We had a lovely dinner at the Olive Garden and called it a night. The plan was to put in a hard days drive the next day.
