We made it to Orlando Wednesday afternoon. The traveling was......ok. Connor has always been a great traveller and that hasn't changed. Savannah on the other hand....what can I say...she's dramatic and it came out even more while driving. She did ok, but was fussy and whiny a lot. The only mishap with Connor was when we stopped to go to the bathroom. The toilets at the rest area had automatic flushers. Connor got VERY scared when it flushed while he was sitting on it. :-) I tried to put him back on it and I had seriously never heard him cry like that. Thank goodness I put a potty chair in the car because he wouldn't go in any bathroom stalls after that, even when I told him Mommy had to flush them, he was still afraid. I guess automatic flushers are a mother's worst potty training nightmare!!! :-)
We actually left Tuesday and drove to my sister's and spent the night with her and her family. Connor had a GREAT time playing football with my nephews, Josh and Jake, outside. He loved it. Wednesday we stopped at Jacksonville Beach to let Connor play. He's been wanting to go to the beach for awhile now. He had a good time...once he got used to the water. Savannah liked it too...she just wanted to eat sand and wasn't very happy when Mommy wouldn't let her.
We just hung around the house yesterday. Gabi, Rick, Josh, Jake and Marissa arrived last night. We all went to Islands of Adventure this morning. It was pretty hot. Connor was a little overwhelmed by it all, even though we've been taking him pretty much his whole life. We decided to eat lunch and then leave. But once we ate Connor didn't want to go bye bye. He said, "I have energy now. I don't want to go bye bye." Needless to say, we went bye bye. He and Savannah are both down for a nap right now. Had to get a little sleep in since he was up at 5:50 this morning and he'll probably be up late tonight. We have a babysitter coming tonight (we use this great babysitting service in Orlando. We've used them 3 or 4 times before.) so the adults can go back to Universal Studios to go to Halloween Horror Nights - haunted houses and scary areas where people jump out at you to scare you. We've gone several years now. It's a lot of fun but absolutely no place for little ones - even though I know tonight I'll see crazy people there with small children - we see them every year.
Anyway, we'll be doing more Universal tomorrow possibly and definitely Sea World Sunday. Then sometime next week we'll go to Disney so Connor can see Mickey Mouse since he's been asking for 4 weeks now when we're going to see him. :-) He does love Mickey Mouse!! I'll let you know how the rest of the trip goes.
