Big Girls Weekend Away!

Since Mady is leaving Mimi's at the end of the summer (sob!) to start Pre-K at my school and she'll be separated from her best friend Emily, we decided to have a big girls weekend at Ron Jon Caribe Resort in Port Canaveral to celebrate the upcoming changes. The girls were so excited that it was girls-only and Mady was excited that KK wasn't invited because "she's not going to school yet". We checked in early on Friday and took the girls to all the different pools. There was a big pool, a kiddie splash area/pool with all kinds of shooting and dumping water toys, a lazy river, and a big slide for the adults.

We hung around the pool until it was time to walk down to the beach and see the ships sail away from Port Canaveral. We saw the Monarch of the Seas leave, which happens to be the same ship we sailed a year ago. After hanging at the beach and watching the ship sail off into the horizon, we went back to the pools and then to room to get ready for dinner.

This resort is so awesome in that each room comes with a mini kitchen and also has a restaurant/grill on site. We had dinner outside and the girls loved listening to the music and just being big girls. This night the pool was closed for cleaning, so we took them to the indoor playground that was AMAZING! The girls could have played in the indoor playground for hours. Unfortunately for them it closed at 9 and they got kicked out. We promised to take them back the next night after dinner.

The next day we started our day out at the beach. We've never been to this beach before and it was really nice and peaceful. The girls enjoyed playing in the water and sand, and we just enjoyed laying out letting our two girls play together. We headed back to the pool for a few hours, making sure to try out the big slide and lazy river! The girls had a late nap, we then went to dinner, played in the indoor playground, and went night swimming!

The next morning we stayed at the pools, had lunch, and then left around nap time in the hopes that the girls would fall asleep during the drive! We had a great girls-only weekend and hope to be able to keep up the tradition and invite more girls along next time.
