News and pics from our travels

We've arrived in the land of the Mouse - the sky looks menacing, but it is through the tinted windows of the car

It seems like a lifetime ago, but a couple of weeks ago we spent a week in Orlando. All the kids were off school for Spring Break, so we decided we would take them all to Disney etc. We rented a gorgeous 4 bed house about 20mins away from Disney and had a pleasant drive up from Weston. everything seemed perfect until we pulled up outside the address the rental company had given us. Even though check out it at 10am and it was now 4pm, there was a car in the driveway... Hmmm, who could it be? Maybe the cleaner still working, but no it was a British family who were on vacation!!! They seemed a little cagey and swore they had booked the house six months ago through the owner... yeah, yeah, but who cares about that I have four kids in the car who are desperate to get this party started.

After a quick call to the rental company, which required leaving the housing development to be able to get cellphone signal (haha), they gave us a another address on the same street but about 10 houses down. We went back past the original house and pulled up in front of our new home. I went in first, since all the kids wanted to jump out of the car to get first dibs on the rooms. The house was beautiful and although it is a little more expensive than a hotel, I highly recommend it. The kids have so much room to run around and we all get a decent nights sleep, etc, not to mention not having to worry about anything. Hopefully, I will be able to upload some photos later, but most of them are not on this pc.

Anyway, after frantically unpacking the kids were already in their bathing suits and biting at the bit to get started. The pool was heated and was the best thing after a long drive. It was bliss.

All lined up and ready to go

See Rich does get to relax sometimes. The kids were squirting him with cold water from the hose
