Just back from a wonderful trip to OKW and then Vero from Wed-Sat. The weather was fabulous. We stayed in an Inn Room with a ocean view and ended up right next to our in-laws with a connecting door....worked out great with the kids in bed and we sat on the other porch to have a few cocktails.
On Thurs, we rented the umbrella with 2 chairs. I also found 2 kid size beach chairs near the decking that were bright green....no one was using them so I thought that they might be a diser's that left behind for use, so my kids used them. When we were done, put them right back next to the deck! The beach was great, the waves really were managable for the kids to body surf in, and I felt like I had a spa treatment at the end of the day with my legs sooooo smooth!
Ate at shutters, by the pool, and at the green cabin....all which were very good. Also, ordered pizza from the place next door (recommended by a CM) very reasonable and very delicious.
Walked the beach each morning and was blessed with beautiful sun rises and also was multiple turtle nests that had just been made and a few that had hatched. I was so fortunate enough to be standing near one when a Animal Kingdom worker came to dig it up and tag it. She let me actually hold the egg....
.....and I was so caught up in the moment that I didn't take a picture!! My kids were so mad at me that I went without them, so the next day I got us all up to see the sun and the nests. Saw a few new ones but the workers on Friday didn't seem to want anyone overseeing them.
Friday, spent the day at the pool. Got there nice and early and grabbed a table with an umbrella. Played pool games; the kids had a fabulous time and I am so glad that the weather was great.
Met quite a few DVCer/disboards peeps and really relaxed on the 2nd half of the vacation.
Overall a great time and looking forward to another trip.
