Florida - Day 5, 6 & 7

Update from Day 5 - When Cora woke from her nap, she started vomiting shortly thereafter.  So, my Dad and Lyn ended up going out for dinner and we stayed in and ordered pizza.  She was quite sick for a few hours and seemed to be bouncing back just before bed time.

Day 6 - Cora slept all night and seemed to be feeling better in the morning.  Although we had planned on going to Universal Studios, we decided it would be best to stick around the house to make sure this flu bug was out of her system (and that none of the rest of us picked it up).  Fortunately, Cora felt great all day.  We enjoyed a very relaxing day in the pool.  My Dad and Lyn went out for a few hours to Downtown Disney/Disney Springs.  Overall, I was really not that upset about missing another park.  The parks really are exhausting (for all of us!).  We really enjoyed our pool time and the 80 degree weather!

For dinner we went to Carabba's (my favorite).  When we got back to the house, we packed everything up an went to bed early, knowing that 4:15am was going to come quick!

Day 7 - Well, 4:15 am came quick.  Fortunately, we all were up and moving (none of us slept well) and out of the house just before 5 to get to the airport to catch our 7:25am flight.  We had an hour layover in Baltimore and landed in Flint just after noon.  We grabbed a bite to eat and were actually home around 2:30pm.

What a great trip it was!  However, it's so nice to get back home and get everyone back in to their routines, including Tom and I!  I'm very much looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight!

We are already trying to decide where our next vacation will take us.  We all agree that we think it will be a long weekend at Niagara Falls either in the spring or next summer.  My kids really have no idea just how lucky they are to be able to travel and see so many sights at their young ages.  We are also very fortunate to be able to provide these memories for them, and to have such great kids to make memories with.
