Florida Trip Update

Greetings from Florida. I think it was sunny Florida this morning, but am not sure as we slept in till after ten. I suppose we needed the sleep, but when we finally mobilized to go to the pool, oh, excuse me, water park, the heavens parted and a monsoon swept in. So much for fabulous water slides, we still haven't seen them...

After sleeping in, I went to make myself coffee, but the coffee maker in our room didn't have a lid, so there was no coffee to be had till the pot got replaced. So Nicole and I mozied down to the "mall" where I bought a cup of coffee and we rented a game for the in room play station systems. Tianna said she didn't care which game Nicole picked, but you could have guessed that it wouldn't necessarily work out that way. And it didn't.

Then Tianna wouldn't budge because her legs still hurt from yesterday, some kind of rash. Does anyone know a good dermatologist, preferably one specializing in pediatrics? Ha! (For those of you reading who don't know this, my husband is a pediatric dermatologist). So next on the agenda, after much arguing, and much repeating on my part of "you choose, you decide" (the words that will be repeated by me over and over again) Nicole and I went to WalMart while Tianna stayed back and moped.

$108 later we left WalMart with hydro cortisone cream and something else called Sarna (soothing cream recommended by my favorite dermatologist) several snacks, a few souvenirs at a fraction of the park price and some red wine for me to sip later. Here is the highlight of my day: Would you believe they asked me for my ID? I told the checkout lady it must be FL policy, but policy or not, it was the bright spot of my day.

Once we got back to the room we ate lunch, soothed sore skin with Sarna, changed into bathing suits, answered two phone calls and just as we were heading to the pool, the heavens parted.

We still hope to get to the pool, oh, excuse me, water park. So now we went and rented another PS II game and they don't want to play that together now because they don't want to be on the same team, prompting more "you decides" from me. Oy Vay.

3:55. It stopped raining, we're going to try this again...
