Easter Sunday!

Happy Easter!

Woke up around 7:30am today. Wanted to get going as early as possible. So we packed everything up and we were on the road by 8:30 am. That is pretty good. We are finally headed to Florida! Can't wait. I think that we are going to Seaworld today and Magic Kingdom tomorrow. And hopefully the beach on Tuesday!

This drive isn't really all that bad. Pretty much a straight shot from Atlanta until you get to just outside of Orlando. It is like 7 hours though. But we are going to make it and we are having fun all along the way!
We drove into Florida about 1pm today. It was beautiful outside. Already like 83*...we loved it! We stopped at the rest area to take some pictures with the big Florida sign...then we were off to our hotel. Once we got there we are going to spend the evening at Seaworld. We can't wait! Really hoping that Donny likes it.

So, all along our drive to the hotel...we saw a bunch of orange trees.... I then decided that we were going to bring some Florida oranges home. And that we would do that before we left! I love oranges...but to have Florida oranges are the best! We arrived at our hotel just before 4pm. We had a nice room right beside the pool. And it was quite. I really liked that. By 5pm we were headed to Seaworld!!! Not even a 20 min. drive from the hotel. That was nice. We will stay at that hotel again, as it was in a great location.

Seaworld was awesome. We saw the dolphin show and we stayed and watched the Shamu show also. We walked around the whole park and saw a lot of awesome things. Donny really enjoyed it also. Headed back towards the hotel around 10pm. Stopped and got some food at McDonald's, as that is cheaper than buying food at the park. We were all sleeping by 11:30 pm.

We had a great day. Happy to be in warm, sunny Florida!!!

Can't wait for another fun day!
