Mike, Austin and I got back from Orlando yesterday afternoon. The weather was beautiful. The only day it was really hot was Sunday. The other days were warm but bearable. The mornings were humid but cleared off during the days. It rained on us a couple of times but it didn't last very long. We got to Orlando around 8pm on Wednesday. We were to arrive around 6:30 but we had an hour delay in Chicago because our plane didn't have any pilots.
We stayed at a house with 7 bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms. There were 16 people there total (Austin, 5 girls and 10 softball players). Our house had a pool, a game room and was super close to everything. After we got to the house, we went and got a few groceries and some dinner. We hung out the rest of the night waiting for 8 house guests to arrive around midnight. The boys' first game wasn't until 6pm Thursday night so we had plenty of time to hang out, which is what we did.
Since the boys lost their first game they didn't play again until 2pm on Friday. So that morning we got ready, went out to breakfast and headed to the park. Unfortunately, the boys lost that game too so they were out of the tournament. Friday night a few of us went shopping and hung out at "Old Town", which is a carnival type area with tons of shops. This turned into a long night and nobody at the house got much sleep except for Austin.
Saturday 13 (6 from another house) of us went to Disney World. 6 of us only had 2-3 hours of sleep. We still had an AWESOME time and stuck it out for 14 hours!! We went to Hollywood Disney and Magic Kingdom. It wasn't too hot and the lines weren't too long for any of the rides. We were all in bed before midnight Saturday night.
Sunday we went back to the ball park to watch an Omaha girls team that was playing in the championship game. Then we went to eat lunch, did a little more shopping and back to the house to lounge around. At night 11 of us went mini-golfing and out for dessert. We packed up our things when we got back since we had to leave for the airport at 7am Monday morning.
The little amount of sleep we got, the go-go-go, and the excitement of traveling has worn us out. We had a great time. I did miss my girl and I am glad to be home to spend time with her and get some rest (hopefully) before our next big event-Mike's 40th birthday party.
