6:00am - flight to Orlando
After rising SUPER early we boarded the flight to Orlando. Our cruise doesn't leave until Saturday but we decided to leave a couple of days early to enjoy some time at a Disney Hotel, relax, and get into vacation mode! We stopped for lunch at Disney Springs (formerly known as Downtown Disney) and had a fantastic lunch of sushi, dim sum, and ramen - family favorites! - at the new Morimoto restaurant. We then made our way to the Swan Hotel where we spent the next couple of days swimming, playing miniature golf, and chilling out.

Ready for the pool

Lego store!

Mickey bars at Disney Springs - there were LOTS of those!

Julia and Benj joined a hula hooping contest at Disney Springs. This was Ben's technique!

dance party fun!

vacation ready!

Heard Around Our House

During our bedtime snuggle tonight...

Me: So I wanted to talk to you about something.
Benj: What is it?
Me: I was wondering if there are any classes you'd like to take. Is there something you'd like to try out? Like gymnastics or something?
Benj: Yes, I want to take a boomerang class.
Me: Really?
Benj: Yes
Me: Why?
Benj: I just really want to know how to throw a boomerang.

Okay then.
