Lego Hulk Smash!

This was our last day in Orlando - at least for this trip.  But we never just get up and leave Orlando.  There's always something a little more to do, of course.  Firstly, we slept in.  Then, of course we packed our stuff and got ourselves down for one more tasty - and large - breakfast.  

Afterwards, it was decided that we would go to see a movie.  It's the opening weekend of "Planes:  Fire and Rescue," and with that being a Disney movie, we thought why not see it at Downtown Disney?  This we did, and I have not been in a bigger theater before.  This auditorium was bigger than the one we saw "Muppets: Most Wanted" in, with two balconies and a screen that was as wide as our Cumming theater is long.  This place was HUGE.

We got our popcorn and our seats, which were easy to find because the theater was so big.  And it was cool too - outside the weather steamed, so uncomfortably hot with the sun beating down on us, punishing us!  But inside the theater where it was dark, things were nice and cool.  No wonder we stayed to the end of the credits - we wanted to make the moment last.

The movie was good.  We liked it better than the last "Planes" movie, actually.  Madison enjoyed it most of all, of course.  And she enjoyed the popcorn too.

Afterwards, we made our way back towards Ghirardelli's.  Got to get one last ice cream, right?  Of course right.  It was here that we made a short-cut through the LEGO store, and that's where Madison ran into an old LEGO friend:

Once again inside, we rested a bit in the air conditioned safety of the LEGO store, and let Madison play for a bit with the LEGOs.  We eyed a few toys, getting some ideas for Christmas.  But mostly we were looking around at all the great stuff in the store.

Satisfied with our break, we next made our way to the ice cream.  Two visits to Ghirardelli's in four days?  Unheard of!  But quite tasty!

And so, after having our ice cream, we then made our way back to the car in the parking lot.  This time around, it was easy to park - and easy to find where we left the car too!  And here's the part where we left Orlando.

It was a little later, but we still got back to Nana and Ba-Ba's in time for dinner.  We're always in time for dinner there.  So much food...!

But so much rest too.  We settled down for the night, turning in rather easily for the evening, back to a more familiar bed:  the ones in our guest rooms.
