Jeez those huge theme parks are rough on the legs! I must of walked thirty miles a day.

My son got to jump on hotel beds and swim in an indoor heated pool. We had a great time. Except when I was in the bed..

I learned how to sleep in a hotel, earplugs!! didn't figure it out til the third night.

I relearned why I don't have television at home. Can't turn it off even at 3 in the morn.

My son learned to memorize where we park at amusement parking lots. (I thought "P" was the row we were in, it just stood for "Parking")
:confused:

I learned that my son and I get along perfect after 11:oo pm if I am not asking him to brush his teeth and go to bed. :yin-yang:

I learned that if you can't find a slushy after two gas stations, just say no.:D

I learned that little boys who claim to be vegetarians, feel great after they eat a hotdog.

I learned a new saying, "Grown ups are people too. " :uhh:

I am glad you had a good vacation Janine.

I travel with my job & it took me awhile to be able to sleep in hotel rooms. I have to turn tv off and no lights. Now I sleep very well.

Welcome back!

I've also travelled a lot and usually turn on the fan for the heat/AC to give a little white noise. I hate earplugs.. They make me feel like something is in my ears!:D

I know what you mean FB.
I used those ones that are like wax. It made me hear my heartbeat and stomach gurgling.
I found them in my travel kit, whereas I had been carrying them around for years, originaly bought to stop swimmers ear.

It sounds like you guys had a great and memorable time. He can't possibly still be angry with you over the weapons after all of that fun!

In addition to earplugs, I also have an eyemask with me when I travel. I can't sleep when there is light in the room. Even just a little, it wakes me up.

I put clothing or a down pillow over my eyes. Also keeps my head warm, I get a cold head otherwise and it turns into a head cold.

Krisp, my son seems to accept the weapons mass destruction quite well. He still builds new ones, I don't allow him to cut metal anymore and look the tools up.
He still makes dangerous stuff and shot an arrow with a nail fastened on the end into a branch of a tree too thin to climb out on. It was finnaly gotten down by his father weeks later. It was very well put together and sharp ened I dismanteled it as someone could get killed. I hated to do it as it worked beautifully. When he is older and more careful...
