Day 25: Starting in the rain…
We heard some strange noise this morning when we woke up, it was the rain pouring on the pool deck. Not a real surprise because we knew the forecast for today already but still this is the second day which we would consider a bad weather day.
We decided to change our plans a bit so we started with packing the first 2 out of 3 suitcases with the items we didn’t needed anymore. This way we don’t have to waste time on that tomorrow. Off course it made our mood not better but at least we got that done during Emily her morning nap.
When Emily woke up we were almost ready to go, she just needed to eat her fruit. After that was done we went to the IHOP for late but delicious pancake breakfast, or maybe it was an early lunch? Mama got Strawberry Banana Pancakes and I went for the Rooty Tooty Fresh ‘N Fruity pancakes with warm Apple Cinnamon topping. They taste even better as the name…
From there we went a bit north to the Florida Mall because it’s an indoor mall and it was ideal for today’s weather. Here we started with Coffee and ended with ice-cream at ColdStone before we drove back towards the villa.

Since the weather got slightly better we decided to get something for on the barbecue: burgers! Today we did Burgers Berlin style!
Tomorrow the weather should be better and we hope to visit Disney Springs and SeaWorld and end the vacation and stay in the villa with a last barbecue!
Day 24: Visiting Celebration and shopping…
The last couple of days we want to take it easy. We woke up around 7:30am and didn’t had an idea about what we wanted to do. We decided to play a little bit with Emily and around 9:30am we left the villa to visit Celebration. Celebration is a town founded by The Walt Disney Company and it’s sometimes also referered to as the too perfect town. I’ve to say I like walking around there over the wooden bridges through the nature, look at the design buildings, lovely houses and visit the nice boutiques and restaurants.
We started with a coffee at the local Starbucks, Emily got her fruit on the terrace. Bananas and strawberries, I think that she loved it because she finished it in no time and was jumping up and down in her stroller because she wanted more.
After the coffee and fruit we went to “once upon a time” where we bought a little book for Emily about Florida. She already has the same books about Canada and Toronto. Afterwards we walked through the town and because Emily fell a sleep we decided to have a early lunch at the Market Street Café. Mama went for the Grilled Atlantic Salmon and I got the Salmon Burger.

After lunch we took the car to our favorite Mall, the Mall at Millenia and visit Janie and Jack. Unfortunately no new collection but a lot of markdowns on the existing collection to make place for new stuff.
On our way back to the car we found a very colorful clothing store. The store is called Lilly Pulitzer, it’s a brand from Palm Beach and it has Florida written all over it. Mama and Emily started shopping and brought home some summer outfits! And while Mama was trying on outfits Emily and I were busy making selfies and pictures…

After the shopping was done we went back to the Villa because Emily (and Papa and Mama) are still a bit tired from the last couple days in Disney World! At home we played, we took a nap (Papa and Emily) and soon we were relaxing on the couch while Emily was sleeping. She is probably dreaming about a little mouse called Mickey, which became her favorite stuffed animal.
