Splish Splash We Had a Blast

Day 2 of vacation was Day 1 of relaxation. We "slept'' in until 9ish and then lounged around the room until we heard from Heather. They came over and we headed to one of the seven pools to choose from. We spent a couple of hours swimming and enjoying the sun, before heading back to the room for some lunch. It started to pour while we were enjoying our yummy pizza, so we let the kids play around in the condo before deciding to head out to IKEA for a while.
We all got ready and loaded up ( this sounds simple, but between our families we have six kids and four adults to get ready and load into two cars) and finally got on the road to IKEA. I had been waiting for this trip since the day after I booked the vacation. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IKEA! I knew that I couldn't buy anything, but I just wanted to take Brandon and show him how cool of a store it was- plus I thought that the boys would enjoy looking around. If you've never been to an IKEA, I highly recommend going to one, but plan on staying at while. We were there for a little over two hours, and we went through it very quickly.
After IKEA we were all starving! Shopping can wear a group out! We headed across the street to the first thing we could find, one of my personal favorites.. TGI Fridays. This could be a post in itself. If you have kids, have you ever had one of those dinners from hell? Well, this could very well be the worst meal experience that Brandon and I have ever had. We had the worse server.. EVER. We had kids that were starving. We had a kitchen staff that was slower than molasses. We had a baby that, bless her heart just couldn't get comfortable. We had four parents who were exhausted and were trying to hold it all together, but no matter how hard we tried it just wasn't working! All in all, this dinner should have taken a hour. Hour and a half tops. We were in Fridays for over two and a half hours. Seriously. No special orders or requests. Just some burgers and grilled chicken and a few simple kids meals. It was INSANE!!



Anyway, after dinner we headed back to Kissimmee to turn in for the night. On the way, we past a fancy car dealership, that sold Masseratti's, Jaguars, and Lamborghini's. We tried to stop and get a picture with them, but they had them all inside and the "cheaper" cars outside. It was still cool to see such expensive cars.
We finally made it back to our condo and just collapsed on the couch. We lounged around and watched some wonderful Billy the Exterminator before calling it a night!
