Thursday and Friday

This cold that I have been enjoying through our whole trip did not give up after WDW. In fact, it took hold even better. I needed to spend as much time resting on Thursday as I could. Doug left the boys with me while he hit the local Best Buy (prices were the same and so with the exchange it is better to shop here - he had to check it out though and I don't blame him).

When he got back the three of them decided to go over to Pool #13 (where the owner BBQs were and where the bar was open) for a swim. I spent an hour or so listening to my iPod and sleeping by the pool outside of our unit. Then I missed them too much and realised that I would have plenty of time to sleep when we got home. I loaded my system up with some more cold meds and headed off to find them at Pool #13.



We swam, played, and hung out. Then we went to play mini golf at the resort golf course. Doug won, as usual. It was SO much fun though. Quinn enjoyed it enough that he and I went back for another game on Friday afternoon.

We finished Thursday off by dining, as per Fergus' request, at Red Lobster. It is his favourite restaurant.



When we got up on Friday morning we were reading emails and messages from friends and family members letting up know that there was a big snow storm headed for and hitting southern Ontario. The forecast was for large amounts of snow to arrive Friday and Sunday. Saturday was to be sunny and clear. We took these messages as a sign. As much fun as we were having it was time to pack our stuff up and get the car loaded to head home.



Check out time for the resort is 10:00 am so leaving at 9:00 the night before wasn't doing much more than cutting into our sleep time. We made the most of our last day and I napped in the afternoon, hoping to have some stamina for the drive through the night.



After Quinn and I played our last game of mini golf, Doug took the boys to watch a movie at the theatre in the main building.

We drove all night and again all day and made the 2156 km drive (according to our trusty GPS) in just over 24 hours, including stops for pee, coffee, meals and duty free shopping.
