The Next Few Days

With rain on the way, we went to...a tourist trap!






We went to our AirBnB for the night, did laundry, had hot showers, and went to sleep by 9 or so.
The next day we got up and drove to our last spot, camping near Apopka!

We stopped for what turned out to be four HOURS to get the power steering pump replaced.  It was crappy since on the road repairs are always stressful, but being able to steer was AWESOME!

We set up the tent, spread out the backpacking gear along the fence to dry out, then went to the springs!







The next day, we spent the WHOLE DAY at Disney Springs.
I had a really happy kid.


We rode the monorail.





We went to the French Quarter by because we got bad bus info.  
But that was okay because we took the boat back from there!


We had dinner and got back to the campsite.

Wednesday morning, we packed up everything but the tent, which we left to dry in the sun and went back to swim in the springs one last time.












This hair thing worked out well.

We went back to the head and swam it again!




Chan has a unique way of snorkeling.
I call it foot first.



Such clear water!



Chan needs no oxygen.  I don't think she ever used the snorkel




Um...

Well anyway, as the sun got up, it started getting warmer outside than inside the springs which makes a body COLD.  So we decided to head on out.


We got the nice dry tent put away and headed out without much drama.

I left the buns in my hair.  It was kind of adorable.  hahaha


Super long and not exciting drive back home.  I drove a while, Gina drove a while, I drove the last stretch.  It took 10.5 hours to get back.


I don't think those middle seats will be going back in any time soon.
