Day 2 - LAX - MCO

The kids woke up in the middle of the night. Their poor body clocks were so off. They were probably awake for an hour or do but it wasnt too hard to get them back to sleep.

Waiting to get on the airport shuttle @ the Holiday Inn

My alarm went off at 5:30am and I got up about 10mins later. I got everything I could get ready then I woke the room up and we all got dressed. We were downstairs on time for their 6:30am opening of breakfast and we had our fill. They had the usual Holiday Inn breakfast fare: toast, bagels, muffins,, pancakes, sausage patties, gravy, eggs, bananas, yoghurt and cinnamon. Scrolls. It hit the spot and while the kids and I finished up, Steve went up to the room to load the bags. We got to the 7:00am shuttle in time and were off to the airport.

We were at LAX about 1 hour 45 minutes before our flight. United check in was long but fast. We got through check, security and to the gate with about 15 minutes to spare. B and I went for a walk and got some water and snacks then we got ready to board.

It was an uneventful 4 and a bit hour flight. We were split up but it was Steve and B and P and I and we were on the opposite side and two rows back from the boys. All of us got at least two and a half hour sleep so it was very good.

On the monorail at MCO

We arrived in Orlando on time but it took awhile for our bags to come down to the carousel. As usual it also took along time to get our rental car. The line for Dollar is always long but the price is right so we stick with them. We went to the lot and picks our car, a shiny black Dodge Caravan. It was brand spankin' new with only 8 miles on the clock! I installed the car seats while Steve loaded the bags. We plugged in our Garmin and we were on our way.

We went straight to Super Target and loaded up on groceries then ran to the townhouse to drop them off and put the cold stuff away before we went out to dinner. We met Steve's niece Bec and her family and we all went to Cracker Barrel for dinner. I liked the country stuff and store. The food was good and hit the spot. We all went home and had showers/baths, unpacked and went to bed.

Really good biscuits (scones) with grits and gravy. I didn't eat these.

Eggs and sausage, pretty ordinary

Cool rockers

Ones for the little peeps
