All the flight delays... and just days from when we were flying down. I didn't realize just how close we were to having some challenges. (I assume outbound to Seattle were a challenge too?)
I would assume both ways was bad, yes. It was really the east and the middle of the country that was a mess. If you were on a direct in or out of FL probably ok.
That stinks that you finally get some warm weather and you can't take advantage.
Well I can't say that we didn't take advantage. We had the lovely morning run and a lovely rita at DTD and a nice boat ride. We were just a bit robbed on the whole pool time. Really though, I know better. The whole relax by the pool thing does NOT happen the same way on a trip with kids...as it does without!
The pictures of the villa are amazing. I can see how a big group would fit nicely in there. It sleeps 8 or 9...more?
9. 2 bedrooms with one queen, one bedroom with bunk beds and then a queen pull out sofa and a twin sleeper chair.
Can't wait to find out where you went to dinner.
I think I have a feeling I know though.
You probably do!
Yeah a baby girl, do they have a name yet?
They do. New mama doesn't want deets out though so I am respecting that.
It's great that the boys are all so close, I wonder if that'll continue into adulthood.
I hope so. I am close to my cousins though we were split up much earlier as the siblings moved to different parts of the country. Still though, when I see them, it's like it was yesterday.
Was the main pool heated at SSR?
Yes it was. I wish we'd have gone to one of the other ones though, not the main one.
Eeeep! I don't like the sound of those stuck at various airports around the country. Now I definitely can't wait to see your meal - provided there's no snags of course!
Boo for missed pool weather!
I felt SO bad for them! Not a good way to end a trip for sure.
Oralndo to Denver to BOISE???? Yikes.
This is what happens when you head to the airport and take whatever they can give you. Sorry but I would not have done it!
I see where that bit of depression over having the cousins leave puts the teens in a funk but glad they were working their way out of it.
They were working their way out of it. We understood, it just kind of bummed out our afternoon. Really we should have just left the 2 of them in the villa and hung at the villa pool or even on our own deck.
Way to regroup in the afternoon.
I am guess yes you get seated.
The regroup and TRP really helped everyone!
Oh no, I'm so sorry about your Dad! That's just terrible. When it rains, it pours, doesn't it?
Yeah, sometimes it does.
Rehab facilities are just depressing in general. The one that they put my Grandma in when she had her strokes was just icky. Then next one they put her in was much better, but that was very temporary.
Luckily (or not) my folks have visited most in the area over the years either for friends, people from church, or my uncle. So they knew where they wanted dad to be. I've kind of revised my opinion on the roommate. We were there for about an hour on Sat and you know what, company isn't a bad thing and he's kind of a crack up. It may get old after a while but overall it was an encouraging visit all around.
I could totally imagine that he's bored out of his mind.
They've got a special chair for him now so at least with help, he can leave the room and get a little upper body work. As of today hopefully, he will be in his own clothes and I know that will make him feel a ton better. We are all sneaking him food and drink.
We spent a ton of time at that THV pool last July. Of course the boys were bored though, I mean now they have to entertain themselves.
I'm going to say they seated you. But shame on you being 40 minutes late.
Exactly, heaven forbid they entertain themselves...without a screen.
I know, 40! I was stressed. We JUST missed the boat, and then it was SOOOOO crowded at bag check and even getting through to the restaurant, it felt like it took forever.
Was something broken and it just wasn't working at that point in time? I thought all pools at Disney World were supposedly heated?
