So glad you found us as well. Looks like we will have GREAT weather in that area, can't wait to sit my rear end on the beach : ) Hope you have a wonderful vacation! Glad you enjoy the song - one of my favorites.

Yes, should be fun. Thanks, forecast looks great so far!

Fantastic surprise for the kiddos! They will absolutely love it!

Cannot wait to hear all about it and hear about their reaction!! Be sure to take some picures!

I will definitely have to video tape it or something, can't wait to see their reaction myself!

Hi Lesley!! I am new to your trip reports but I remember hearing your name on the DIS Unplugged Podcast.

We also want to go to the Delish NY Bakery on our trip next month, it sounds amazing!! I'm really enjoying your PTR, keep it up

Welcome! I can't wait to load up on goods at Delish, looks awesome. Glad you are enjoying things so far.
Lesley

The Nick hotel!!

The safety tattoos!!

The bologna card!! (read your blog)

I know, RIGHT!?!?! Glad you enjoyed the humor in the bologna card too!

That's great that you are surprising the kids like that!! Great idea & the kids will be so excited!!

Thanks, can't wait to see their faces.

Awesome surprise!!! Every time we drive by that place, Tyson asks when we are ever staying there! I had no idea they did the sliming thing... how cool!!

Great idea on the temporary tattoos.. thanks so much for sharing. You always have the greatest ideas!

Enjoy your Spring Break trip!!

Glad you enjoyed the ideas, hope you guys are having a great trip!

What a wonderful surprise! Isn't it fun planning special moments for your children? That's one of the best parts of being a parent. I love the temporary tattoos for children. I've saved the webllink for our next trip.. THANKS!!!

Yes, planning special memories for my chlidren is such a wonderful thing! Glad you found the tattoo info helpful.

What a great surprise! The kids will love it. I didn't realize they actually can get slimed there. I am anxious to read your review as DS has wanted to do that as well.

I heard about the tattoos last week as well. I think that is a super idea.

Erika

Yes, they will LOVE it, the sliming part will be fun, the website says they do it every day at 4. Glad you enjoyed the tattoo idea.

I heard that podcast, too. It's an awesome idea, especially for food allergies and non-verbal kids!

Yes, I agree!

GREAT update Lesley! I have mixed feelings about your Nick Hotel! Just Kidding! The kids will LOVE it! The tatoo idea is AWESOME...although when we are together I will be keeping close tabs on Miss Lauren...she SCARED me to death last summer!!

I know Diane, so sorry! Yes, you have my permission to have a death grip on her wrist.

I think the kids are going to be tickled with the Nick hotel. I read another trip report awhile back of a family that had stopped at the Nick hotel and it seemed really neat. " Dreams of getting slimed" ... that is so funny and just like a boy.

The idea of the temporary tatoos is a neat one. I haved never seen those before.

Have a great time at Kiawah Island ! My family will actually be in Florence, SC next week for a few days for a baseball tournament.

Yeah, the kids will go crazy, yes, he is definitely ALL boy! Have fun in Florence!

Great surprise!

Thanks!

What a fantastic surprise!

Thanks!

GREAT idea with the tatoo!!! I have never heard of that!

Your kids will be so surprised I can't wait to surprise my kids when they get older!

Surprising your kids is such fun! Thanks for reading/posting

I can't get the link for the safety tattoos to work. Can you repost it or send me a PM? I am very interested in this for our son.

Sent you a PM and changed the link- sorry about that

Oh my gosh!!! I can't even believe you wrote this. My dh and I had this exact conversation tonight at dinner. I am slowly brainwashing the poor man into liking Disney...seriously this has been the hardest thing to do. But we were talking about driving to Disney and sightseeing and how it would be fun to start or end the vacation with a night (or 2?) at Nick...apparently they have activities going on all day and its just a great fun place to stay!!! I am so excited for you guys!!! Just don't slip up and let the cat out of the bag!!!

Too funny!!!! Looks like a fun place, yes, trying to make sure the kids don't see this as I type this : )

Great idea on the Nick Hotel! I am sure the kids will love it!

And those tattoos sounds like a great idea! I always keep my business cards in their pockets with my cell phone number, but you can't be too prepared when it comes to that stuff!

Thanks, can't wait to see their faces. That's a good idea with the business cards, my kids rarely have pockets on their shorts.

Wish I could see the look on the kiddos faces
when you pull into that parking lot!! priceless
for sure!!! Sure they will be over the moon
happy!!

Don't worry, I'll video tape their reaction

Great choice on the Nick hotel, never stayed there myself but a friend of mine has and her 3 year old loved it!! I understand about Universal, maybe next year??

Thanks, should be fun. Yes, Universal would be GREAT next summer!
, maybe tickets will go on special once Harry Potter dies down, crowds too!

The look on their faces when you pull into the Nick hotel is going to be absolutely priceless!

I can't wait, I'll probably video tape their reaction : )

I actually thought of Lauren while I was listening to the podcast last week. I am going to do that for my dd when we go in Nov. I will read your blog when I get home. I can't access it from work.

So funny you thought of Lauren when you heard it, that just PROVES it is the product for us : ) Hope you enjoyed the blog.

What a great surprise for the kids! They are going to love it! I tell you, I was very impressed when I heard about the temporary tattoos for the kids. Whoever came up with that idea is pretty sharp. I don't have small children anymore, but know people that do. So, I'll be sure to tell them all about the tattoos.

Have a great time on your Spring Break trip!

I can't wait to surprise them. I know, brilliant idea! Thanks, I'll post pics of our spring break getaway when we return, we leave on Friday.

 

[Trentmom]

Trent keeps asking to go to Nick Hotel. I can't wait to see your pics and hear all about it

Great surprise

 

[Happydog]

Wow so are you going to Universal for the day, then? Nick Hotel! Fun! I have only heard about it, and it does look fun! I can't believe these summer trips are coming up! Your Spring Break trip too! How fun!

 

[stacikristine]

Oh my! What a fantastic surprise for the kids!! They are just going to LOVE it! My little brother always wanted to be slimed too. He'd probably still love it--and he's almost 21! And what a great idea with the safety tattoos. Hopefully you won't have to use them, but it's awesome that they at least have that available.

I will definitely give you lots of details so stay tuned ; )

No, Universal just for a day would be over 400 dollars for us, just can't do that, so we will spend time at the hotel, may go to Disney, we'll see, just playing it by ear!

Well, Spring Break is FINALLY around the corner, I SOOOOOO need this break. We are hitting the road to Kiawah South Carolina on Friday, can't wait to sit on a beach!!! Just two more days of school, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can : )

When we get back we'll be seeing Mary Poppins live in a local theatre so I can't wait for that either.

But HUGE news is, I don't know if you read the update on my DEAR friend Diane's Pre TR (dddisrunner), but she had her big 4-0 b-day this week and her WONDERFUL husband Bryan gave her the most FABULOUS birthday present, a GIRLS WEEKEND FOR SHE AND I AT THE WILDERNESS LODGE!!!!!! Tim called today and got us a ressie for LeCellier for lunch while we are there!! I am sooooooooooooooo excited for our girls getaway (THANKS DIANE AND BRYAN!!!!), it will be here soon and I will DEFINITELY write a TR on it, so stay tuned.

Well, lots of packing and list making to do for our getaway, take care everyone!

Yay for you guys!!! How much fun to have a getaway like that with a gal pal! How much fun

I so get you on the Universal trip... we are going to wait a few more years to make sure both our kids can take full advantage of everything... Disney OR Universal -- hard to do both for the $! Enjoy your spring break!!!

Hi Lesley!

I have followed along with your last couple TRs and I thought I'd stop by and say hi! I am also a special education teacher like you, so I am totally understanding that need for spring break haha! Mine is still two weeks away though! That is very cool about your girls weekend! I'm staying WL for the first time in June, it is so beautiful, how lucky! Can't wait for the TR for that one

 

[Charleston Princess]

Have fun at Kiawah!

What a great birthday present for Diane! The two of you are sure to have a blast on your girls' weekend!
