Orlando, Florida ~ Part II

Orlando has more to offer than just a mouse.

There's also a SPONGE...

Half of our stay was at Nickelodeon Resorts

(which btw, I don't recommend, no matter how much you love Sponge Bob)

 The best part of the whole visit was the mass slimming.

Lucky is somewhere in that mess of people chanting,

 "We Want Slime. We Want Slime..."

I Double Dare! you to tell me you didn't fantasize about

getting that green slime dumped on you as a kid?

 Renegade Big Baby all about the wade pool.
Forget the slides & the slime.

The pool staff was kind & watchful as opposed to the neglectful & poor hotel & restaurant staffs.

Also dingy, smelly, broken down, out of date rooms. Really. Not worth the slime or the cute wall mural.

Swiper, no swiping!

Good thing the kids don't mind a dump.

 But, seriously do you know how long it took to get this super simple awful pizza order even close to correct. The broken jagged beer bottle top. Or the fact that our toilet was broken & they told me that I was wrong & that it was not broken. It took FOUR calls to get someone up to look at it, and that was only after I threaten to let my kid crap on the floor. Hey, housekeeping, why'd you forget about us one day??? And, When I called down for 3 extra blankets, we got 2.

Okay. Anyways. We are not high maintenance guests. Really...

If there's one thing we all can agree on it's the BEACH!

...but first it's TACO time!

A Liquid Lunch!

 Crabby Patty!

 A Chocolate Malt!

We like cold beverages...

...sand dunes...

...& salt water.

Headlocks...

...& hugs...

...downward dog...

 ...and flower god...

Let Freedom Ring...

Passed up the Wizarding World of Harry Potter for this.

Lucky made the call...

'cause I get a peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing...
I'm already standing...
Yes, I'm already standing on the ground...

Somewhere along a long stretch of highway in Florida there is Airstream Ranch...

Betcha there were some festive times had at this old abandon motel...

In lieu of forfeiting Universal Studios Lucky got to choose our next adventure.

He will do anything to win the fair maiden,

while Axel will fight to the death with a pink light up butterfly...

 Such majestic pageantry...

 The silverware free royal feast is surprising fit for a king & lots of it.

Pretty sure the guy sitting next to Mike is suffering a heart attack. All his finger tips went numb. He has a big family. Sure hope he made it...

The jousting battles are loud, powerful & epic...

 The Blue Knight.

Cool enough to sit in his winning section.

 Even though he was not invited down to battle, Lucky has fully embraced the medieval lifestyle.

He will be quitting his job to run away with the Ren Fest this summer...

 Medieval Times is all things exciting. Not super cheesy

& not one single Cable Guy joke.

 Fantastic way to spend our last rainy day in the Sunshine State.

 Back home to the winter that just won't die

& in need of a vacation from this vacation.

The End
