Day 137 - May 16

We were supposed to hit up another park on Wednesday. But a check of the forecast for Wednesday and Thursday told us that the better part of valor would be to postpone and not get caught in the rain.

It didn't rain all day like it originally looked like it would, but there was definitely some torrential rain and a giant storm around dinner time Wednesday night. We were at Downtown Disney and got caught in it - a much preferred alternative to being at an actual park.

We took advantage of the overcast sky and no rain in the morning to hit up the pool again. Honestly, I'm not sure we actually need to go to Disney World at all while we're in Florida... I think the kid would be just as happy to just hang out at the hotel pool. It's like we don't have a pool in our back yard. Of course, the hotel one had cool water fountains and stuff, so it's got a leg up on our pool, but it was ridiculous how much she just wanted to be there. She definitely had fun, though... as did Daddy (first picture).

Late in the afternoon we headed to Downtown Disney to do our shopping. Our shopping ALWAYS includes a stop at the Pearl Factory kiosk. I got my first pearl as a First Class cadet while sight-seeing around Hawaii and have been addicted to it ever since. It's so fun to watch the saleslady crack open the oyster and see what you get inside. Of course, we've now included Michaela in this tradition, which is kind of getting expensive. But I can't NOT do it, so we both got some jewelry (she'll get hers when she's 16 - or at least old enough to take care of it. Meanwhile, pearls need to be worn to keep them lustrous and pretty, so I force myself to wear hers as well!)
