Great Adventures! Part 1

We arrived home (ok, into Seattle) on Saturday night/Sunday morning. It had been a long leg of the journey flying from Atlanta to Seattle with 6 kids! I was not surprised at with our arrival and snow falling....let me explain...you see whenever (and this has happened for the past 14 years) my parents leave on spring vacation, usually to Mexico, it snows. I know, it's crazy but it totally happens!! Needless to say, my parents flew out on Saturday morning!!

We started out journey on Friday March 14th with an overnight stay in Seattle. Our flight left at 7 am on Saturday and we stopped (ever so briefly) in Chicago. Once we arrived in Orlando our shuttle took us to our hotel at Disney's Saratoga Springs. We blitzed Disney on Sunday and Monday and took Tuesday to do a pre-planned trip to Kennedy Space Center. Dwayne loves to do museums on our trips so this counted, or at least we convinced him it did! It was fantastic. The mobile launch pad on the massive crawler (with launchpad A in the background) was making its way down the gravel road to prepare for the next launch on April 15th. On Wednesday, it was a day for being somewhat lazy and hanging around. I had pre-booked an amazing experience for Dwayne ('cause I'm amazing!) to do the Richard Petty driving experience.

He drove a Nascar around the track (following an hour of instruction etc) for 10 laps and managed to top speeds of 122.21 miles per hour. The afternoon saw us hanging in the spa for our hot stone massages and then to dinner with the kids. The Langs flew into Orlando but caught up on their sleep before joining us on Thursday.

Oh yes, and the weather was mostly fantastic too! We had a rainy day and I had prepared for all things with 2 umbrellas and 4 ponchos (which actually got used to keep Sarah and I dry on the Kali River Rapids, while Dwayne and Cam we entirely soaked!).

More adventures to come!
