We were able to take advantage of the kids' track-out from school and head to Orlando! And no, we did not go to Disney this time. We decided to do Universal, Islands of Adventure, and Sea World. We spent the majority of time at Universal and Islands. Had a marvelous, perfect-weather time.Here are some of the highlights...
We learned Emily is a rockin-on-the-roller-coaster type of girl. She loved them! And she usually got a double ride with mommy and daddy thanks to the child swap. Our favorites were the Hulk and Dueling Dragons. I practically had to drag her on the Hulk, but then she loved it. She rode Dueling Dragons 8 times!
Our kids bonded. I snapped these cute moments between Dillon and Cameron. Ah, brotherly love.
We learned that Lilly doesn't like to sit in strollers or high chairs or anything that confines her. Oh wait, we already knew that! She definitely is a monkey!
Mom and dad learned that a vacation to a park isn't really a vacation. It's a lot of work, but worth it! 
We stayed in a hotel for a few days and then in a Marriott time share. The kids loved the 2 pirate pools! It was worth saying no a million times during the "sales presentation".

It looks like you guys picked a good time to go, I don't see any crowds. Glad you had a great time, we've never done universal but it looks like a lot of fun.
Yes, it wasn't too busy. Most rides we could just walk on. Sea World was busy though. It was a Saturday and Sunday and we didn't think about all the local people being there. It's one advantage of year-round school (to avoid the regular school break times).
Looks like you had a blast! I love family vacations when we go to resorts. It really helps me to focus on the kids. Everything is family friendly and we always have a good time.
Miss you guys!
Awesome! This seems like a fantastic family vaca! Good for y'all on the timeshare...worth the effort! These are the memories the kids will have forever. Love the pic of the boys holding hands...so adorable!
