Florida Family Vacation Day 3

Journal Entry: Tuesday, October 5, 2010

Well, today got off to a very early start for Cory and I. Apparently, we may have gone to bed a little too early because we were both awake for the day at 5:30am...or maybe we were just too excited to sleep. I finally got out of bed just before 7am to get showered and ready for the day. We didn't want to get up earlier and wake everyone else.

Cameron was not too keen on getting up when I woke him just before 8am. He told me that he was very tired and that he was dreaming about Pokemon. We all had breakfast and then made our way to Sea World for the day. Although the park had lots of people in it, it really wasn't that busy. We decided to do the rides first and then go exploring and to see the various shows. Manta, Kraken, and Journey to Atlantis were the big rides and they were all pretty fun. Cameron didn't like waiting when he couldn't go on Manta and Kraken though. We went to the Believe show with the whales, a show with dolphins and Pets Ahoy. I think the dolphin show was everyone's favorite. There is also a kids area at the park and Cameron really enjoyed that part. Cory went on all of the rides with him and I took pictures. We took lots of pictures today but didn't manage to get a picture of the three of us together.

On a side note, I was pooped on by a bird today! Thankfully, it was only on my shirt and I had layered my shirt so I was able to take off the poopy one. It was pretty yucky but still funny at the same time!

After our fun filled day at Sea World, Pernell requested that we go to Hooters for supper. Due to some technical difficulties with the GPS (I won't go into details) we finally found Hooters. this was Cameron's first Hooters experience and he even got a t-shirt. We then went on the hunt for the Walmart that was supposed to be close to the house we're renting. However, after another long drive, we finally gave up on Walmart and came home.

We finally got home at 10pm and we had promised Cameron that he could go swimming. He did get in the pool but not for long because it was too cold. We didn't think we'd need a heated pool so we didn't pay the extra. It's also $35 per night o heat the pool and spa and I personally think that is a bit ridiculous. However, it is unfortunate because we are most likely going to want to use the pool at night when it is colder outside. I suppose this is a disadvantage to renting a house as opposed to staying in a hotel. I was also looking forward to relaxing in the spa in the evening :(

Cameron is sound asleep in his bed and hopefully he'll be well rested for tomorrows. Tomorrow we are going to Sea World's water park, Aquatica. It is a new park and it looks like it should be fun. Stephanie and Matt are arriving tomorrow as well and we're looking forward to seeing them.

I'm off to finish our laundry and to get things organized for tomorrow. Then it's bedtime for me!
