WALT DISNEY: DAY 9 HOUSE

Day 9: A Day at the House: Packing, swimming and an appearance of the Great Conjunction!

Today was a sleep in type of day for us, although I have really got to the point where sleep in is not in my vocabulary anymore. However, Sakari took full advantage of the word "sleep".

​

I got up and started doing a little bit of packing. We really didn't have anything planned for today. The hubby had mentioned maybe going and riding go-carts at a place around the corner. But, when I checked it out online, it said that it was closed. I did find some other places in the area that had a little more entertainment other than the go-carts and thought maybe we would do that.



At some point and time, we decided to wake Sakari up so that we could go get some breakfast. All this packing is making me hungry!

​

It was bright and sunny out tonight and the temps were nice!

​

Since we had such a wonderful experience at Waffle House the other day, we figured that experience just couldn't be beat and we would have to settle for our original plans of going to Denny's. 


​


Upon arrival, we were greeted with this:


 


 

I guess that was a good sign because the food was yummy and filling and the service was good. Now I felt like I was ready for a nap. Does that mean I'm getting old?


​


Now I wanted to try to find another suitcase. We have been in dire need for a new one. I have a really nice one, but the airline managed to bust one of my wheels a few vacations ago and it's just getting worse. Sakari's is somewhat old and she had the old style with the small wheels on it and hard to push along standing upright. 


​


We visited several different places and every time I found one I liked, they didn't have the right size (only had the smaller ones). Do people really take small suitcases on vacation? I'd never be able to fit anything in it. I would be at a loss for what to downsize and put in it. 


​


When actually ended up at Walmart and found a decent hard cover suitcase and then we were finally ready to head back to the house for a fun filled day of washing clothes and packing.


​


I always hate that last day packing because no matter if I'm on a ship or land vacation, I'm sure to always pack something that I should have left out for the next morning and will need to rummage through all of our luggage in order to find what I'm looking for. We always cross pack so that if something was to get lost, at least we would all 3 have items. Obviously that means that whatever I'm looking for is always gonna be in the last suitcase I look in of course. 


​


Sakari decided she wanted to swim. Since it was a nice day out and the pool was heated, I figured why not.


I had a few hours of packing under my belt already and I wanted to enjoy this last day as much as possible

just like her so I met her out by the pool.

We had a friend show up (it was always landing on the fence and watching us during the entire week).
