We Made it to Orlando!











We hopped in our van as soon as Dom got home from work and drove straight through the night in route to Orlando. The kids were such troopers in the car and slept most of the way. We actually arrived at our destination in time for lunch.

We had rented a 6 bedroom house, but the pool heat was not working. The company didn't have another 6 bedroom available, but did have two houses (a 4 bed and a 5bed), each with its' own private pool, across the street from one another. They decided to give us both houses after stressing just how important the heated pool was to us (our kids were more excited about the pool than Disney!). To ensure that the pool heat would work, the maintenance staff turned the heat up to 95 so it felt as though we had a huge lovely hot tub (much needed for the 7:30a.m. swim when the temps were not much higher than the 50's.) Needless to say, the kids had a blast swimming, splashing, and jumping. Dom even jumped in for the early morning swim while the other adults happily watched from the sidelines.
