On Thursday morning, my Sister calls me up and says "let's go to somewhere...how about Universal Orlando?" Of course I'm game for anything (as long as the husband approves it!!). Thursday night, we had a hotel booked and I began packing for our Friday afternoon departure. I talked to my Mom while she was on her lunch break at work Friday and told her where we were headed..."I want to go!!!" she says. We had planned on leaving when the kids got off the bus which would not give her time to go home and pack. Me being the kind person I am, headed over to her house to pack her bags! What fun that was...NOT!!! I picked up my Brother, met up with my Mom and Sister at her house and off we went!!! I must brag on my daughter for the ride down...what an ANGEL she was!!!!! She was the best car rider!!!! We arrived at the hotel around 10pm, unloaded the car and got ready for bed. We couldn't wait to get up the next morning for our first day at Universal's Adventure Island!
Here are all the girls in their PJ's ready for bed. (Shelby, Kalyn, Brooke and Kinley) Poor Gavin, only his head made the picture!
