"We are going home with a sunburn today!!!"

 All packed up and loaded up...now we can enjoy the poolside till late afternoon!  What a wonderful way to end our trip!

 Enjoyed the warm waters and the sunshine...we found chairs that were in the shade for awhile...and then the sun came!  Relaxing with my refillable cup...a little extra fun to use when staying at the resort.

 The band-aid evidence of my nasty blister.

 Showered up and heading for a late lunch/early supper at 4:30pm so we can get on the road by 5:15pm to head back to Tampa for our 9:50pm flight.

 Enjoying the walk over the bridge and the pretty flowers...soaking it in since we are heading back to cold and snow!

 The yummiest sandwich and house-made chips ever!

 Sure did enjoy our time away!  "It sure is going to be hard to go back home to cold weather!  Everyone at home has pale faces...and we are the red necks!  Ba da boom." chuckled Teddy.  He has been doing that when he thinks he says something funny.  Our little comedian!

 "This is cool!  This cookie is as big as my face!"

 Ohhhh...spring will come, spring will come, spring will come....

 Leaving Disney property...

 Ashlynn snapped this for me as we left...since I wasn't fast enough on our way in on Tuesday.

 And then the car got really quiet...for an hour and a half.  Ashlynn passed out shortly after this picture.

 Ted and I watched the scenery and traffic...and said goodbye to all things green!  We dropped off the rental car and were shuttled to the airport in plenty of time.  Our driver even took "the scenic route since you have plenty of time to get checked in!"  We saw the Tampa Bay Bucs stadium and the spring training field for the New York Yankees.

 Hey...look at me...your sunburn is showing!!!  Ready to go through airport security and head to our gate?

 Southwest terminal...ahead!  The tram that takes you from the Main Building of the airport to the security check points and the terminals.

 We watched the sunset as we waited for our boarding time.  I like flying out at night!  We enjoyed all day in the sun and now we can just sit back and rest.

  We landed at 12:30am...got our luggage (all of it arrived again!) and waited for Dad to pull the car around.  Thankfully, the temp was about 40 degrees and the snow that had fallen while we were gone had melted!  No digging out required!

 We got home about 1:45am and headed to bed...and slept and slept and slept.  So thankful for a safe trip home and wonderful memories made!  We all agreed as we sat at supper on Thursday night...the first part of our trip...spent in Bradenton area...was our favorite!

We came home to our souvenirs...that showed up in our mailbox...while we were gone.  Up to 50% cheaper buying from Amazon...and the same thing in the shops at Disney. The kiddos shirts came in before we left and they had them to wear before Wednesday.  Just a little frugal tip from our resident lean manager!  Well played, honey!!!  I most likely would not have worn it while at the parks...that would make me look like a tourist! Ha ha ha!
