Florida Trip: Day 6 & 7: Downtown Disney and our Drive Home

Day six of our trip was supposed to be the day we packed up and headed home.  I woke up first, like I had all week, shortly followed by Drea.  Drea and I sat around talking and playing UNO over breakfast.  We were just relaxing before getting ready to pack up and leave.

Then at some point Drea mentioned not wanting to leave.  And you know what, I thought the same thing.  Which got me to thinking, why not stay another day.  This got the ball rolling, I had to check with Stacey to see if she cared whether or not we stayed another day.  Which she didn't.  Next, I had to see if we could keep our campsite.  Which we could.  Then, I had to think about driving home the entire way on Sunday.  Which I did.  Finally, we stayed another day.

I would like to say the girls were super excited when I finally told them, but they were just like, "Okay, can we go swimming?"

After swimming for a couple hours in the morning and making new friends at the pool, which we seemed to do every time we went to the pool, we decided to trek over to Downtown Disney.

It always amazes me seeing these made completely from Legos

After spending several hours at Downtown Disney, complete with buying more souvenirs and riding a carousel, we headed to Chick-fil-a for dinner.  Every night when returning from an adventure, the girls noticed a miniature golf course, and every night they wanted to play.  We took advantage of our extra night and hit the links.

on purpose, just because she could

I love the look of pure joy on Drea's face

Time out, to pose for a picture

Nothing says safe, like miniature golf and alligator holding

That last picture is my favorite one from the entire trip.  It cracks me up.  The entire time we golfed, Charlotte said she wanted to hold the alligator, she obviously didn't chicken out.  We then headed home for night swimming, a campfire, smores, and more UNO.

I will conclude with this, there were so many things I was concerned about as it got closer to trip time.  Many of which were completely out of my hands, but were concerns none the same.  However, everything from the beginning to the end of the trip was perfect.  We had the most amazing adventure and when I think about how things could have gone and how they actually went, I could not be happier.  Of course, we wish would could have seen and did more, but we have limits.  And besides, we have a Disney jar and we already have begun saving again.
