Disney World and Sea World

We surprised our kids on Friday.  Our good friends were going to be in Orlando for Spring Break.  It was our intention to try spend a day or two with them but first we had to see what Steve's schedule was going to be like.  He has been working in Charlotte about 3 1/2 hrs northwest of here.  On Friday he got home at 3:00 and we quickly jumped in the car and drove 6 hrs to Orlando.  After a dinner and potty stop we arrived at 11:00pm. 

I had not told the kids where we were going until an hour before Steve got home.  They were so excited it was their first trip to Disney. 

Early Saturday morning we got to the gates of Disney World and thanks to cell phones connected with our friends and their cousins.  It was an amazing fun day.  The park was so busy but we got to ride all the ride we have heard about. =)

At 8:30 we said good by to our friends and headed to the hotel for supper and a swim.  It was 11:00pm again before we got to bed.

The next morning we got up and went to Sea World with the kids.  Steve and I had been there 15 years ago and really enjoyed it.  Samuel was excited to see all the animals.  Everything went well until about 3:30 when we were seated for the Shamu Show.  A sudden rain storm hit and was it a storm, lightning knocked out the sound system and caused the show to be cancelled.  They left the stands open so we could hide from the torrential rain that was falling.  After waiting for about an hour we decided to brave the rain.  We still had a six hour drive ahead of us.  We dashed through the rain, and just as we reached the car the rain stopped.  Thank goodness a change of cloths waited in the car.
