17th July
Having been late last night we let the kids sleep till 9 well we were on holiday !!!!!!! I sat in peace having by breakfast by the pool with not another sole about fantastic.
We were all ready to leave by 10 ish and decided to go to the Boardwalk and have a go on the Surrey bikes. This has come a bit of a tradition over the years and the kids love it not sure about my poor legs. The kids are still not tall enough to peddle so we have 2 kids yelling faster and my poor mum and dad perspiring in places they never knew they could!! Round the Boardwalk we go with the kids waving at passers by and ringing the bell.
We were all happy to hand back the bike and headed to the store at Boardwalk to take full advantage of the air conditioning and buy a drink. We bought some pretzels and Coke and had a seat on the Boardwalk before deciding to head to DTD.
We reached DTD and had a look around a couple of shops before we decided on Earl of Sandwich for lunch which was delicious as usual. The kids decided they wanted to go to Disney Quest so I was dragged off there!!!
I have only been to Disney Quest once before and am not a fan of the place. It was very busy and noisy and dark. The kids played on the arcade machines and DH was in his element playing pac man ,frogger and donkey kong. There was massive queues for the bigger rides so the kids didnt want to wait. We must have been in there an hour or so before I persuaded them to escape to the light again.
Next stop was Virgin megastore which was the only shop that everyone was happy to be in. The kids headed for the DVD section first. Molly wanted ET as she had never seen it and fell in love with ET at Univesal. We managaed to find that for $10 along with another 3 Pokemon DVDs. We then headed to the games section where they got some covers and pens for there DS and I bought Guitar Hero for my DS which I am rubbish at!
After we finished there we headed back to DTD via Pleasure Island and the Harley Davidson store
The kids wanted a seat and a drink at DTD so DH sat with them while I had another look about in the shops I kept going back to the Pearl Factory and watching everyone opening the oysters but didnt get one that day.
When I caught up with DH and the kids they were standing speaking to my BF Sally and her family who had arrived yesterday. We had a laugh as it was typical we met at the shops of all places.
We said our goodbyes and headed off back to the villa none of us were hungry so we picked up some Chicken and salad and had a lovely evening just sitting and chilling this has taken me 14 trips to even think of sitting doing nothing when WDW is only 5 minutes down the road but I am getting there
