"Did Pluto Just Give You A Lap Dance?" 10 days of Naughty & Nice!

Dawn -

I love vero. How cool that you surprised the kids. Although I remember the ride to VB as being somewhat boring. I'm sure that was not a fun ride at night when everyone is tired.

I can't wait to hear about your VB stay and your room. We had the most fabulous view from our 1 BR.

We did luck out on the view too! They love Vero more than the parks truthfully...next trip should be all ocean stay!

(Dissclaimer...hit my head and ended up with a concussion...sorry I did not get this out sooner...but like a lady with tourettes...ya never know what I would have written...then again it may not have been any worse than it is now... )

Day 1 Continued - "Can you just smell it?"
There we were...driving to Vero...Dan and I aware of our destination...kids not so much...

But...

They can read...

and when you see signs to Coco Beach...Miami...South America...Antartica...

you might get a clue we are heading south...

Not my kids...(I guess I might need to address this with their school and get a refund...not that they go to private schools...cause they don't...but I mean I do pay taxes...and there should be some sort of satisfaction guarantee on education don't ya think...at least $1 or so...I am not that greedy...okay...I would insist on $2...who am I kidding...)

So they drifted off to sleep...and we pulled into the city of Vero Beach after taking a new route...and then...

TAAAADAAAA....

Exactly what it looked like minus the sun and ours had some Christmas balls on it...(I was not into my Kathy Kodak mode yet...)

I hopped out of the vehicle...went up the stairs and waited for the lone man on the night watch to wake up and get me my keys...it took about 5 minutes...no kidding I can tell you that I could have stolen all the tree ornaments not stapled down...because there was no one who showed up until I dinged the dinger 5 times...

He had our stuff ready...of course it is about 2 am by now so no one else was showing up late..and in less than a minute we were ready to go...

I got back out into the car...and as soon as I was seated...Treyner jumped up from behind me and squeezed my shoulders...beyond excited and said...


"Mommmmm...we are at Vero aren't we...!"

What Dan told me later was that Treyner woke up while I was gone..looked all around him...figured out where we were...and freaked out..but he felt bad I wasn't there...so pretended to sleep so he could try and give me his surprise reaction all over again...

We woke the rest of the kids up...and they were so happy...Baylor was ecstatic...

We got into our room...quieter than they were when they were little...no running in the halls...a lot to do with the fact I threatened death I am sure...

We had an ocean view room...and the first thing the kids did was fling open the patio door...and take in the smells and the sounds of the ocean...

And Treyner...claimed he was sleeping on the deck...and that was it...

So the baby porta crib was pulled out...the matress/mat was used as a sleeping buffer from the patio floor...and my 18 year old son...6'3 and 185 pounds...grabbed a bedspread...and a pillow...and was good to go...

I was not going to argue...because this made me want to cry...and confirmed the fact that next trip...is all Vero...and all beach...cause there is no place that makes my kids happier than the ocean...

Can you just smell it?



When they were younger ...the first year we went to Vero ...I am guessing 1999...the kids never left the water...we would go up to the campfire at evening....and everyone else was dressed nicely...having showered and enjoyed dinner...not us...kids in swimsuits with chocolate marshmallow faces...it was awesome!
And that is how we fell asleep..at 2:30 am roughly...and happy as heck....to be in Florida...

I am sure you are waiting for Day 2...and I have loads of pics...so I will start that now...No really..I am serious!

 

[askelton]

(Dissclaimer...hit my head and ended up with a concussion.

Seriously?

and take in the smells and the sounds of the ocean...

Quite possibly one of the best things ever!

And Treyner...claimed he was sleeping on the deck...and that was it...

And who would blame him?

 

[Dizneydawn]

Seriously?
Very serious...have a soft spot the size of a ping pong ball now on the front of my mellon...
Quite possibly one of the best things ever!
agreed...
And who would blame him?

Not me...

I have the start of Day 2 done...but photo bucket is not working uploading images indiviadually or in bulk...so I am needing to wait...I did save it to my hard drive...so it is not lost...

 

[askelton]

I hope you're ok now!

 

[mommyk8]

I am hooked. Can't wait to read the rest.

 

[whogirl'smom]

Well, I am caught up now; Christmas was a little crazy, but now I am curled up with the cat and can enjoy all the chortling, heehawing, and snortling as loud as I want! Hmm, wonder if you can use Disney reward dollars at Vero Beach, too?

How in the world did you hurt your poor head? I'm so glad you're on the mend.

 

[winkers]

You can't tell us you hit your head and ended up with a concussion and not tell us all the juicey details!!


I didn't realize the Vero resort was a dvc.
I'm sorry to say, that I've been to florida 4 times and never seen the beach! I don't know why, because I love the ocean, but I prefer the west coast.

Treynor's reaction is priceless!

 

[Dizneydawn]

I hope you're ok now!

yes...TY

I am hooked. Can't wait to read the rest.

Glad you are on with us...

Kay...so I bent down to get something behind the fridge...and clocked my head on the radio that is under the counter...very glamourous and stealthful I know...

Me...I love the gulf better...prettier color to the water than the Atlantic...but yeah..ocean here we come!
Treynor's reaction is priceless!

I know...he is really a mama's boy...I gotta love that...

 

[winkers]

Don't feel bad, I always hurt myself in the stupidest ways possible........I got my first tag from describing an incident!

Too funny...okay...is anyone having issues with photobucket or ever had?

I am having no problems with the internet but on their site..whenever I go to upload a pic from a disc...shuts down the whole internet...what gives? Says not responding...is there any other photo service out there like photobucket I can use...want Chap 2 posted for 24 hours now...

 

[disneybound2010]

UGH! I hate photobucket. Any time I have uploaded pics to it, I have ended up with a locked computer and the whole thign shutting down. Have you tried imageshack? I have used them periodically with no problems.

So glad you are ok. I've had more concussions than I care to think about. I am probably the most accident prone person anyone will ever meet.Seriously.

Treynor sounds like an absolute sweetheart. My heart melted when you said he felt bad that you missed the reaction so he replayed it for you,so to speak. You have some pretty great children there

Subbing

I just read the entire PTR and all 7 pages of the TR, and I am hooked.
I laughed my butt off at your PTR, then cried about your son's burns.

I was so happy to read that the trip was still on, it must have been quite a trip for you all, after the horrible month you lived.
I can't wait to read all the fun details
