Fun in Florida

Chris: Ok I'll start this post with an apology. We have been in Orlando Florida for the past 2 weeks and haven't posted at all. Our days have started very early, ended very late and after long hot days at Parks, blogging is the last thing on our minds.

So the past 14 days have been filled with the following parks and activities:
Magic Kingdom
Animal Kingdom
Epcot
Hollywood Studios
Downtown Disney/Disney Quest
Typhoon Lagoon
Universal Studios
Islands of Adventure
SeaWorld
Eating and Sleeping (optional)
Visiting my grandmother in Hollywood, Florida
Lounging by the pool at the house

Emma: And so now we're sitting by the pool watching my parents play with noodles like 5-year-olds. As soon as I'm done with this we'll probably go and join in. It has been very very very very hot and I'm not sorry that the majority of our previous holidays here have been in October. We've been fairly lucky with storms and after almost constant rain on our first 2 days, we've got away with only 1 really heavy downpour with crazy strong winds yesterday in which the bins that were by the curb having been emptied decided to go on an adventure down the street. Dad decided to go and collect them and after 30 seconds came in looking like he'd jumped in the pool fully clothed.

I've had a lot of fun showing Chris all the stuff we used to do here when we were little as he barely remembers either of his previous trips to Disney and whilst I haven't been able to do too many rides with him, I've had fun being able to talk to him about them afterwards.

With the weeks passing and the time for our move coming ever closer, our hunt for somewhere to live continues and whilst we're thankful that Swansea is one of the most affordable places to live for a student, we haven't had any luck so far but we'll keep trying and something is bound to come up soon.

Now looking forward to our long days of driving and listening to Harry Potter audio books to keep ourselves entertained on our way to Houston and then back to Virginia.

And now for noodle-y fun...
