The girls survived their marathon bus trip, and were none the worse for it. They even managed to arrive in Orlando a little ahead of schedule, which is always a good thing. Especially on a bus trip!
We managed to get on the road a little earlier than expected, and survived our 18 hour drive, as well. I'm really not a fan of the "drive straight through" approach, but it is a means to an end. And you really can't complain about the middle of the night traffic...
We're staying at the Marriott Grande Vista, and it's beautiful. It is just as expected - everything about the place is inviting and lovely. I don't know that I've ever seen properties better manicured than they are at the Marriott locations I've been to. And every room has a view of palm trees and a pool.
Who doesn't love to see a palm tree every time they look out the window?
The girls' choir performed on Sunday at Downtown Disney. It was a cool experience that I am so glad they were able to have! The kids sounded fantastic! And they looked fantastic, too.
It was so obvious that they were having a good time!
After their performance, the HH, Jack, and I had lunch at Planet Hollywood. We spent as much time walking around the restaurant gawking at the cool memorabilia as we did eating our meal. There was lots and lots of really fun collectibles in the Orlando location. Jack particularly liked a couple of things from his favorite scary movies.
Monday was a beach day. BUT... the van lost a radiator hose, so our trip to the beach was a tiny bit delayed. We spent about two hours at a Dodge dealership while it was replaced. Not exactly the way we'd wanted to start the day, but... I'm at least thankful that there wasn't any damage to the van, and that it happened just a few miles from a dealership where it could be repaired. Sooooo... two hours, and a bunch of money later, we did get on the road, and ended up spending several fun and relaxing hours at Cocoa Beach, playing in the waves.
Just another day in paradise!
