Florida Family Vacation Day 9

Journal Entry: Monday, October, 11, 2010

Today is Thanksgiving in Canada but there was no turkey for us. We decided to take a break from the parks today so we all went shopping. We went to a very large outlet mall and spent a little money ;) Everyone got stuff but no one went overboard. We didn't see Stephanie and Matt the whole time we were there, that's just how big the outlet mall was.

When we first started shopping, I discovered that Cory had a whole in one of his new t-shirts (the one he had bought at Aquatica) and this made him quite upset. So we spent most of the day in search of a similar t-shirt. We didn't have any luck so we stopped into the smaller outlet to look some more. He managed to find a similar t-shirt and he settled for that.

We didn't have time to go back to the house as Blue Man Group was on the agenda for the evening. We had planned to go to supper at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville at Universal's City Walk before the show. Cory, Cameron and I weren't planning to go to Blue Man Group because Cory and I had seen the show in Boston a few years ago. However, Pern wasn't feeling well, so Cory and I went to the show while Pern and Chantel took Cameron home. Supper was pretty good and Cameron and Cory had balloon animals made for them. Cameron got a parrot and Cory got a monkey. Cameron also had a real parrot sit on his arm which was cute.

Cory, Stephanie, Matt and myself went to Blue Man Group for 8pm. Since Cory and I had seen the show before, we knew what to expect and it was very similar to the show in Boston. We all enjoyed the show, although we could have done without the crazy girl sitting behind us. She was very loud and apparently had seen the show multiple times. After the show we headed for home. We didn't get home until 11pm and we were pretty tired.

So, it's time to call it a night and get rested up for our big day at Disney's Hollywood Studios tomorrow. We are planning for a long day so that we can stay to see the Fantasmic show, which is supposed to be pretty awesome.
