Markels Making Magical Memories–Day Thirteen

Cabana Day; 12,488 steps

Our last day in Orlando was a “Cabana Day.” We rented a poolside cabana at the resort, and spent the day hanging out, swimming, playing ping pong, and building sand castles.

Of course, since we were in Florida, there was an afternoon storm that closed the pool for a bit, so we headed inside to the arcade, where we played Skee Ball. Turkey was the champion…he even hit the very rare “100!”

We found another hotel guest to take one last family picture:

And then picked up some surprisingly delicious pizzas from the hotel diner for dinner:

The children had a fun time playing with their lightsabers, and I thought they looked really cool through the screen in the room:

One last look before bed:

Up next: A very long and exhausting day of driving.

Six Months Ago…And Today

OK, it’s five days or so short of six months, but close enough!

In July, this was our view on the Isle of Palms in Charleston, SC.

Sand and snow…but they’re both pretty in their own way!
