We received confirmation that everything will be up and running, if not now, in short order. Legoland is the main thing Gavin wished for and I was worried that might prove to be a problem.
The only place I don’t know about for sure is Kennedy Space Center.
It would be awesome to go there but if it’s not a huge deal. It’s probably just the nerd in me that was really excited to see that place. 😁
We are officially a go for the end of the month and I know I’m excited. ☺
This trip is going to be so much fun for all of us.
The only issue we still have to work out is how to keep Lemme, our genius ferret from being able to escape while we’re gone. I thought for sure I’d finally Lemme proofed the pen but she exploited a weakness that hadn’t occurred to me.
My Mom will be over each day to feed/water the ferrets and the cat.
Being able to leave the ferrets in their pen will make things so much easier for my Mom and provide the ferrets with enough room to run around and play. They need the room and probably shouldn’t be left in their cage the whole time. My Mom isn’t a huge ferret fan so I want to make this as easy on her as possible.
I have about two weeks to figure this out. I’m considering building something g from scratch but until I hear back from the bank on the dispute on my account, I’m very limited on funds.
Anyway, knowing that everything is going to work out is such a huge relief. Now we just have to get planning and fine tuning the physical trip, get everything together we’re going to need and patiently wait until it’s time to go. ☺
That’s great news! A couple of things that you might want to consider for the beach portion of your trip… water shoes. I know the boys (mostly Emmett) have sensitivity issues and the ocean floor can be gross and squirmy and slimy, especially after a storm. The shoes will also help when walking across hot sand if it’s super sunny when you’re there. Bring some baby powder to get the sand off of you. You will be amazed at the sticking power of sand and it will be in every crevice. Baby powder helps to absorb the moisture and get the sand off. SUNSCREEN. You are used to Ohio sun which is nothing compared to Florida sun. Florida sun will roast you alive and the humidity is ridiculous. Bring a cooler with water in it so the sun and ocean water don’t dehydrate everyone. Also, be aware of the currents and undertow of the ocean. If you’re not experienced you’ll get knocked right down and it’s not as easy to get up as you might think and I’d hate for the boys to get swept out to sea. ; )
Thanks Kim. We’re only going to likely spend a few hours near the beach. It depends on when we arrive in Daytona Beach. I think they said we’d have an afternoon in Daytona Beach before we have to head to Give Kids the World. That’s our main target.
Everything you said is appreciated and we’ll received. ☺

Ah, I thought you were staying overnight in Daytona and would have a day at the beach.
We are. It depends on the timing because we have to be at GKTW very early on Sunday.
If you are able, try to leave Charlotte super early to make the most out of your time in Daytona. Nothing against Charlotte, but there is no beach and it’s really just another city.

That is awesome news! But I have to ask. Do you even feel a little bit bad for lashing out at your readers for telling you the same thing the organization told you? You really kind of went super defensive and we’re a little mean to some of them.
