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.

Markel Family Summer Vacation–Day Four

The fourth day of our summer vacation was a much-needed day of rest and relaxation at our amazing hotel. Ryan rented us a poolside cabana for the day, and we enjoyed hanging out in the pool, going down the water slide, building sand castles, and playing ping-pong. A storm sent us to our room for a bit, but we had fun watching cable TV, and the children even got their first room service experience when we ordered a pizza!

After it got dark, we enjoyed one last walk around the property:

And then Ryan and I went down to the diner to share a sandwich:

Up next…the long drive home, with a few stops along the way!
