DAY THREETuesday let DW have a long lie so I took the kids after breakfast we headed to IOA after an hour or so we had done all the rides we did front of row on DD it was amazing my daughter was as white as a ghost the park was empty by 10 15am we had done Hulk 3 times, Dr Doom 1 time, Spidey twice and DD twice and we never used FOTL, when we went back to room my wife was up & dressed so we decided to get a taxi to Wal-Mart for supplies and also my wife and daughter wanted to shop, so off we headed we shopped at the other stores there then had lunch at McDonalds(u will start to see my family can shop) we got back to the hotel about 2pm so after dumping bags off to the pool we headed. Kids managed to get me on the ship play area I was soaked we stayed at the pool for rest of afternoon as we knew weather was going to go bad at the weekend my wife headed up to room for a rest so I played the kids at a game (I really should pick a better game I was terrible) as we had to pack tonight we decided on a take away from flippers and an in room movie which I fell asleep during tomorrow was DD birthday at DC so we where all looking forward to that
Day FourWe all got up early about 7am after giving daughter her presents and cards from home I called valet to get a cab ordered we where at DC for 8am weather forecast was great for today hitting 80 clear skies couldnt believe our luck, I had booked the birthday package via email in December for DD she did not know this so I paid for that at check-in DC was great it was our second time there and it was as good as the first our Dolphin was great very friendly and when she brought my DD her birthday buoy it was very special in my DD words the best birthday ever after lunch we just sunbathed while kids played in pool about 3pm we went back to restaurant as unknown to my DD there was a cake for her and it was pretty huge but as we where all still pretty stuffed from lunch we just arranged to pick it up at reception as leaving we stayed in DC till about 4.30pm then we had a cab called and it was back to hotel to change for dinner as we had reservation at Tchoup Tchoup for 6.45pm, when we returned to the hotel the kids headed for the pool area as they had made a couple of friends yesterday at the pool, we had a message on our voicemail asking us to contact the front desk manager so off we went it turned out that it was now arranged we could stay at RPR for the full of our vacation, now after all the hassle etc this was not as good news as it should have been as it meant we had to yet again rearrange our plans also we had repacked the night before for nothing but still we where glad we where not moving although trust me its not the end of the saga wait for Fridays report on that, so after having new keys done we got kids and got ready for dinner what can I say Tchoup Tchoup was great as usual there was not one complaint to make the meal was excellent the restaurant was very busy but our servers where very attentive they even put a candle in daughters desert for her birthday and gave us all a free appetizer not much change from $200 but worth every cent after dinner we had a little walk and then we relaxed in lounge and posed for a few photos it was a great day although still cant believe my DD is now 14 boy do I feel old
