Lola and AA woke up to have breakfast (at about 9:00) while the others slept till well after 10. It was good for the other travelers to sleep, as they were pretty tired. Lola and AA explored some of the hotel after breakfast, including the pool area, business center and the brochure area. Lola picked up about universal as well as for the premium outlet mall.
After all was awake, showered and dressed, we headed to Deny's to have some lunch. At Deny's Devin made sure to fill out the kids menu to not forget what 5 items were going to build the kids grand slam. MBM and Lola also had build your own grand slams, but with different items. Don't forget about a chocolate shake for D. Adam took a business call just as the food arrived, but luckily it didn't take too long.
We enjoyed the breakfast (well the Twinkies didn't really eat a lot of their meal) but enjoyed the grapes the lady gave them because they were pretty antsy in the high chairs. We enjoyed our meals and headed back to the hotel.
On our way back, we drove down highway I-4, and all of a sudden we were right beside the outlet... then I looked on the GPS, and I can see the flag of our destination (hotel) and look over to my right, there is our hotel, look to my left, outlet mall... I didn't know were were right there. I talked about being dropped off and picked up, but the driver (AA) just kept driving and took us to the hotel. " Back to hotel" as T would repeat over and over again.
We put the kids down for a nap, and then Lola convinced MBM to go shopping with her to the outlet mall. So the ladies hoped in the van and off they went. We shopped pretty fast, only going to the stores we were really interested in. Lola and MBM both bought a few things, but not much room in the suitcases, so we had to limit to things we really wanted. (Lola also bought a new shirt for AA).
We finished up just in time to come back quickly and change, and head to our dinner reservation at Paradiso 37 at Disney Springs (back on Disney property). The food was really good and so where the drinks. Lola had a virgin coloda (reminded her of Hawaii as it has strawberries in it like a lava flow), while the boys shared a pitcher of Margarita, and MBM had a sangria. The food was really good, the kids really enjoyed the appetizer, it was like grilled corn with melted cheese on top (the adults minus Lola enjoyed it too).
After supper a little exploring, with destinations of the Worlds biggest Disney Store and the Lego Store, but first we stopped to get some tea for the ladies. MBM was cold and wasn't feeling that well. The Lego store was really neat with some cool things we haven't seen in normal stores. Devin was really excited about the screen and camera that you put the box of Lego in front of, and it shows you what the Lego would look like all built. It was pretty neat.
After we walked and got lost through the largest Disney store, that was pretty complicated to know where you were, with all these different little rooms, we headed back to the van, as MBM was really not feeling well by that point.
On our venture back to the van, we walked past many stores, in a very neat shopping area. Disney Springs is like a shopping park... a destination Lola could spend all day at!
Lola drove everyone back (having to go on the busy highway), which she hadn't done previously to get there, but we all made it back. MBM and the Twinkies went straight to bed. AA ate a snack while D took a call, and Lola Blogged.
Well MBM is a little under the weather, hopefully she is better for tomorrow. If not, we will see what we decide to do. Hope this sickness doesn't keep going through the group... 3 down 3 more to go. Let keep washing our hands and making sure not to share our germs :), hard with two hand sucking toddlers...
Good night, Lola
