Ormond Beach Vacation!!! (Fri-Mon)

Well as I sat down today I thought I will post on our vacation.  But I have a problem...I have LOADS of pictures and want you to be able to see them so I will post about vacation in a few different posts.  This first one will just be a summary of our trip, okay? Alright well lets begin!!!

We left on Friday (May 3rd) at around 8 am.  The trip started off well but soon that ended...we spent a good 4 or 5 hours just driving thru Kentucky!!  Horrible construction the whole way thru!  Because of how we were delayed in Kentucky that made it so we hit Nashville at rush hour, which delayed us even more.

About 30 min. outside of Atlanta (where we were stopping for the night) Gia decided to "get sick" to put it nicely.  EVERYWHERE!  We stopped at a McDonalds where I bathed her in the bathroom sink put her back in the car.  She had to sit in the middle seat with no car seat...

We finally got to the hotel put the kids to bed & then Dusty proceeded to wash her car seat in the hotel sink.  I hung up the car seat "parts" using hangers and we blow dryed them..Less than ideal but it makes for a memory!!

The next day was supposed to be a 6 hour trip from Atlanta to Daytona (Ormond Beach) once again things did NOT go well, this trip took a good 9 hours!  YIKES!  I had the stomach flu this day which made for frequent stops which added to the time.

We got to the resort around 6 pm and settled in quickly.  It was a nice place for our family of 4!  Dusty signed us up for what he thought was a 40 min. talk (for Sun.) on the resort as in what goes on, what you can expect, frequently asked questions sort of thing.  He said that because we were doing this we would get all the "extras" free.  Turns out it was a time share talk that was supposed to last 90 min.!  Can you just picture the utter bliss that was on my face...especially because they made the kids stay too!!!  Thankfully the guy was nice and let us go after 40 min. realizing we were not going to buy a time a share and it was nap time.

Saturday night we ordered in Pizza, Sunday night we went out (it wasn't that great) so then Monday we hit the beach all day & stayed in for dinner! 

And here are some pictures:

Building a Whale, Shark, Rock (it was all three)

They shared the pull out couch :0)

Gia loved to lounge in the chairs - just like mommy!

Next post (about vacation) will be about our trip to SEA WORLD!!!! :0)
