I figured a title like that would get people's attention. Since the beginning of time people have proved that they cannot resist the forbidden fruit. Tell Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit, what do they do? Eat it. You tell Lot's wife not to turn around, what does she do? Turns around. You tell a bunch of strangers not to look at a trip report, what do they do? ...
So anyway, I'm writing this for my gals(and couple guys). I didn't want to post all my ginormous pictures at our hang out because BabyN only has dial up. (love ya BabyN!) If anyone else actually reads it that's just gravy.
It's a little diddy about my husband, Chad and myself getting away for the weekend.
Heavens knows we need it. We have five kids. Not just five, five BOYS. They range in age from 8 years to 10 months. They never stop. They can be playing outside all day and when they come in at dark they are still going.
And I homeschool them, so I am with them 24/7. Which can be very challenging to say the least.
So I booked a little trip for 2 nights at All Star Music. And then I began preparing for this trip. It took a lot of preparation because the 10 month old is nursing and he likes to nurse a lot. So I wanted to make sure to leave him with more than enough bottles of liquid gold.
Our trip started off good. We got on the road at 12:48, twelve minutes ahead of schedule. Turns out that helped since we had to stop 20 minutes away to get some lunch. That's where we lost about 10 of those 12 minutes. We made them up between Labelle and Sebring where the speedometer didn't see any numbers under 70. Thankfully all the budget cuts in Florida Counties also meant less police on the road. In fact, we didn't see any. We saw plenty of police cars, but they had "dummy" officers in them.
Usually HWY 27 is crawling with Florida State Patrol and local police. Great for us. 
We actually had to make one other stop, I had to pee. Five children have really taken a toll on my bladder.
We still made amazing time and by 3:30 we were in Orlando.
We came in exit 62 and so we didn't get to go directly under the sign.
There was no line at check in and by 4:00pm we were settled in our room. Which was far, far, faaaaaaaarr away. Holy cow, Ive heard people talk about those Country Fair buildings being way out there and they are. Of course, I dont mind. I never mind the walk at a Disney Resort. The more of the Resort you get to see the better the experience. But, it really was out there. It just felt far away. What with the end of the parking lot and the cess pool right outside our door.
We were on the second floor, room 5553. It took us a while to find it, even with the signs. We havent been to ASMusic in a long time. It was the first Disney Resort we stayed at on our very first Disney World family vacation, back when we only had 3 children.
I love the changes to the rooms. They look nice and ours was super clean.
I quickly changed into jeans and we headed out.

MommyP. I figured since you moved your trip report for lil ol me, the least I can do is stop by and say Howdy. I think I will load the pics while I hop in the shower. Glad you and Chad had a nice getaway.
Thanks for reading!
I have 3 boys and that is more than enough for me!
