We decided to travel in a new and excited way for this trip! Margaret was thrilled several months ago when I booked train tickets for Margaret, Jonathan, and myself. Yes, Jonathan decided to take the WHOLE week off and travel with us to FL for Margaret's first REAL Disney experience!
So, Margaret and I spent Saturday getting ready and finally headed to Charleston Sat afternoon. It POURED down rain on us all the way down and as we unloaded the car. Margaret was thrilled to jump in puddles as I tried to unload the car. Jonathan arrived at the hotel just in time for a nice dinner. It was early to bed for everyone!!
We woke up just before 4 am to get ready to board the train at 5am. Despite a little anxiety on my part, we arrived on time, boarded and were off!! The train was very spacious and comfortable. I would definately travel by train again. Jonathan was wishing for a car about halfway through the trip on a slow part where he said he could "jog faster than we were going!"
All in all the trip was very enjoyable. We arrived in Florida just before 2 pm and were able to check into the resort early. It was a little COLD, but after a quick, late lunch, Margaret and I braved the very little heated pool and WATER SLIDE!! It was SOOO much fun. We ran back and forth between the slide and the hot tub....in order to avoid frost bite. Gug-Guh, Grandpa, EO, El, and Olivia arrived just before 5pm--they drove. Olivia was quick to join us in the pool. We convinced EO and El to join the fun....yeah!! They even did the water slide once each!
After we got the girls fed and bathed, Mom, Melissa and I ventured to Walmart for groceries. Yes, Walmart here takes just as long and is just as much fun as the one at home---UUUUGGG! We returned with plenty of food for the week and all crashed for the night. It had been a VERY long day!
Pictures will be added later =-)
