After a long day of driving, we were supposed to leave the
hotel at 8:00am. I stayed in a room with Jess and Sarah and I guess our alarm
had other plans because Sarah’s alarm never went off. She was going to shower
first and since she didn’t wake up, none of us did. Somehow, I miraculously
woke up at 7:58am which was enough time to do nothing before we needed to
leave. My immediate reaction was to jump up out of bed and yell at Jess and
Sarah, “You guys!! IT’S 7:58!!!!” We all frantically changed, brushed our
teeth, packed up our stuff and ran downstairs to get some breakfast. We
actually made it to the van by 8:15 which is pretty impressive for three girls
I would say who woke up two minutes before we were supposed to leave! At least
we weren’t on a big time crunch to get to Florida in time for anything so that
helped! The rest of the drive was pretty uneventful mainly because we were all
so excited to get to Florida and it was exciting once we got closer and started
seeing the signs for Cocoa Beach and all of the Disney attractions! What seemed
like forever later, we finally arrived at Emerald Island Resort and were not
disappointed! The entrance was beautiful and they even let us lounge by the
pool until we could check into the house at 4:00 so that was a nice surprise.
Once 4:00 rolled around, we all loaded up in the van again to head to the
house. Turns out the house cleaners thought we were coming on Monday so the
house wasn’t cleaned or ready. There were bathrooms with unknown substances on
the toilets and floors and way too much body hair in the showers. After being
super grossed out, we got it all cleaned up, started the sheets in the washer
and were ready to settle in for the week! We made a grocery store run after
getting the house cleaned up and then had a lazy night with everyone hanging
out in the living room and telling some ridiculous stories. It was a lot of fun
getting to know some of the girls better and hearing some hilarious stories
from everyone. Tomorrow we are heading to Cocoa Beach and then going to Give
Kids The World. I am really excited to finally be at the Village…it seems like
forever that we’ve been talking about it and getting to visit so I’m excited
that the time is finally here!
