05.02.2008 - Paradise
First thing after arriving, was a thorough expedition throughout the house
A couple minutes later, we all fell into the beds and slept like babies.
Felix our early bird got up at 7:30 am, then Max got up and a bit later we all woke up. While the boys decided to watch some cartoons I started unpacking.
Then we all met for an morning snack with a class of orange juice - thanks to the welcome package that had been provided for us here at the house. Then we decided to open the patio doors and have a look around outside.
Thomas carefully ckecked the pool temperature and, … yes, yes, yes, it was warm. First, we put just our feet in, but it was pretty clear, that sooner or later one of the boys would “accidentally” fall in, so we decided to quickly change into our bathing suits. Thomas removed the pool cover (we need this at home as well it really helps to hold the temperature). It was heaven, the whole family together, warm pool and jacuzzi and vacations… this must be paradise.
We spent over an hour in the pool and jacuzzi and had lots of fun. But we also started to feel hungry. Therefor we decided to quickly shower and get ready - not so easy with 4 people, but at 10:30 Uhr we finally started. The boys admired, once again, the huge jeep they had chosen.
Then it was shopping time at Publix - wonderful. I fully agree that it is not a good idea to go shopping with an empty stomach - everything looks great.
But when we sat down over an hour later with fresh ground hazelnut coffee, orange and cranberry juice, baggles with creme cheese, English muffins, pastrami, cheese, jam, peanutbutter, … it was great.
We decided to have a look at our eMails and update the blog - what I am doing right now.
Well another coffee, some more blogging while the boys work in their own office.
They are all excited to discover the wildlife - Felix has been bitten by a lizzard already, Max sees eagles (I think these are some bird of prey).
This afternoon we want to visit Disneys Market Place - tomorrow is Maxis birthday and he can wanted select a birthday present from the Lego store there.
Well, stayed tuned - we will continue to report from our wonderful vacation time.
