Day Ten

For the past couple of days Harrison's been up at 7am and run himself a bath. Looks like we'll be amending the design of his bathroom so that we can fit a small bath in. Shame he won't even dip his toe in our pool or the sea though.

Another rest day today. Bernard has set up a way of making voice only calls through Google. We had to register a US number to get our own Google phone number, so he used the one in the villa. To test it out, Harrison called his nanny and grandad and nanny and grandpa and we had a lovely chat with them all.

We watched more Wimbledon today so didn't go out until early afternoon. 

Ready to go out. Reading his new 'Famous Scientists' book whilst waiting for us. Very impressed considering his iPad is in the bag right next to him!

Bernard and Harrison went to the Ford showroom to look at a Mustang and an Edge. Over here the Mustang costs the equivalent of £13,000 whereas to buy one in the UK would be at least £30,000! The Ford Edge is the next size up to our Kuga and the dealer told Bernard that if he was to buy both cars, they could do him a deal of around £32,000 for both. That's BOGOF in UK money!  Meanwhile, whilst they were having lots of fun in the car showroom, I was enjoying looking at art and craft supplies in a Hobbycraft type store. 

Around 17:30 we joined the rest of Florida on the I-4 to head back to the Florida Mall.  We'd only just started our journey when the radio presenter gave out another weather warning for lightning and torrential rain. Same story as yesterday except this was the worst lightning activity they've had so far. Great! We made it to the mall and ran from the car to the entrance. Once inside we could forget about the storm, although Harrison (our resident weatherman) told us when the storm had passed so that it was safe for us to return home.

  1. I'm really enjoying your blog Lindsey. Daytona sounds amazing as does the space centre. You're cramming so much in, so it's good to have a few rest days in between. The weather sounds so dramatic, but I remember it being much the same when we went in 2000. Hope you enjoy your last few days, I'm really looking forward to the next instalment. Give my love to H & B xx
