Vacation Days 3&4

Tuesday was by far our best day there. We woke up at 8:30 a.m. Our routine in the morning was to wake up and watch one of Maddy's movies before heading out for the day. We didn't watch much on Tuesday because by 9:06 a.m we were headed down to Aqualand. Maddy's attention span was very short on this trip and after a few minutes in Aqualand she was ready to move on to something else. She saw other kids playing with a beach ball, so we walked over to the hotel market to get her a ball and some toys and played a little while longer. After aqualand we went down to the beach and the water was just beautiful. This vacation I was able to completely forget about work and I just enjoyed every minute of it...minus a few moments lol. To tell the details is a little boring, so I will let pictures do the talking.

This is how Maddy took her naps in the afternoon. Can ya tell the sun drained her? She actually took better naps than she slept at night. She took 3 to 3.5 hour naps..unreal!! When she woke up from her nap, which was around 4 p.m. I tried getting us ready for dinner. She wasn't having any part of it and told me she didn't want to. I finally decided not to force her to go get dinner because I was scared I would have had a major meltdown on my hands. Luckily I brought some mac and cheese from home and cooked that up for the both of us. We had just a stay in movie night. Before we went to bed she was having a few issues and I knew going to bed that night that Wednesday was gonna be a rough day. We went to bed around 11 p.m. We woke up at 7 on Wednesday. Wednesday was one of our worst days there. We did our usual routine, but I think she was just so tired and ready to be with her toys at home that she just let me have it. At the pool she would scream NO to the top of her lungs and try to run away. I decided to just try to get her into the room so she could take a nap. Now that I've waited so long to finish this I have no idea what I said to get her to walk with me. I just remember as soon as we got to the room I sat her in the chair for a 2 minute time out and then gave her passy. She crawled up in the bed and went straight to sleep. I was determined to make her go eat dinner somewhere when she woke up. I decided to get ready while she was sleeping, so she wouldn't have much time to decide to pitch a fit about going. My plan worked pretty well lol. We went to a place called Boar's Head. When we pulled up I was really nervous because it was a dead parking lot. We got there around 6:00 p.m. but Maddy fell asleep on the way so I let her sleep till 6:30 p.m. We had another good evening out at dinner and I was so relieved. The inside was so pretty and we were pretty mesmorized by the decorations.

I got the broiled seafood platter, which consisted of oysters (eww), deviled crab, scallops, shrimp, and grouper. I actually don't like fish but I went ahead and tried it. I was surprised I could eat it...it actually had no fishy flavor and I was impressed! Maddy got a hamburger. 

After dinner I made the mistake of trying to get us our airbrushed shirts. I love airbrushed shirts and have one from 1995 that I wear as pj's now. The guy told me it would take about an hour before they were ready, which was fine cause I could look around and then get our shirt. He told me when I came back to make sure to bring the yellow copy to him. I thought he meant so I could pick up my shirt. We browsed around for what felt like maybe 30 minutes then went to pay. Maddy was beyond done at this point. After we paid we ran across the street to look in that store. I was actually trying to find me a new bathing suit. I like the one I have now, but the top is getting too big now and I'm constantly pulling it up..it's annoying. We went to check on our shirts. The guy looked at me funny and said you never brought me the yellow paper back. My face fell. I knew Maddy couldn't hold on for another hour. He told me it would take about 30 minutes so we tried to wait. It was a bit rough, but we made it. Here are our shirts.

We went back to the hotel and got ready for bed. I have no idea what time we went to sleep...maybe midnight lol. I will put Thursday and Friday up as soon as I can.
