Florida!

We made it to Florida! Flight was good, both girls slept when they were supposed to..mama didn't. We arrived late to our hotel ( I just picked a Best Western Plus close to the airport. I had so many bags so I asked for help to drive one of the luggage strollers. Unfortunately we had to wait a little too long for our hotel transfer..and I almost got too tired and ran out of energy right before they finally showed up
.Both girls were tired and also started to loose their patience... But eventually we got there and got a few hours of sleep before they woke up at 04. Breakfast was a couple of hours away so we took a walk around the hotel area, not so much to see.  Then a "swim" in our tub..I dont know how much other guests appreciated that but...we killed time.

After breakfast we took a cab to our real hotel Courtyard by Marriot Fort Lauderdale beach. I haven t decided yet but I think we'll  stay here for 4 nights, but I am a little curious about another resort closer to the Everglades. ( We will not go to the NP this time but anyway... )

Our first day we had gray clouds but we played at the beach for a while, had lunch at Beach Bunnies ( good omelett! ) We were all tired so I only managed to keep Jamie awake til 11.30 Then we slept til afternoon..
It rained and was about 15 degrees C in the afternoon but we found a playground by the beach and played in our pool for a while. Hours flew away and it was time to get ready for dinner. Tonight we just wanted tp eat somewhere close, I was afraid Jamie would pass out before 6... Anyway we ate at the famous Bubba Gump shrimp place from the movie Forrest Gump.
Very nice for the kids!  As always here in restaurants they got crayons and paper to draw. This time I ordered 3 meals, a salad for me "popcorn" shrimps for Natalie and Chicken strips for Jamie. Theirs got served in a boat and they ate really good. Jamie almost feel alseep in the highchair so she got to lay down in the stroller...first time ever at dinner time she just feel asleep..poor child so tired and jetlagged...still happy though! Anyway we left pretty quick after that I didnt even finish my mojito..(I wanted a small one and the waiter assured it was..but no...) Next dinner I will save some money and only order 2 meals. A good thing is that we got a doggybag without even ask for it..so maybe the girls have shrimpsnack tomorrow...
