We finally decided to take a day and use our annual passes to Knott's.
We got off to a later than expected start because I realized my car charger wasn't working and it needed a new fuse. If you have an IPhone, you know the battery stinks and you can't travel without a charger.
(I know.....first world probs.)
A few minutes after getting into the park we search for churros. We end up at some joint that charged $5 per churro.
What the heck?! I had to take a picture of us getting robbed blind...with our little churros in hand.
Our first (and favorite) rides involved water and were the rides we could all ride on. One was a roaring rapids type ride and another was a log-ride.
After being in the park for four hours we decide we are hungry and drive to Costa Mesa. We grab lunch at Cafe Rio and head next door to Bruxie's Waffles. I found them a few months ago online, subscribed to their website and they send me a gift card! Score! So we went to buy $25 in sweet waffles!
I think we tried four different sweet waffles, but Bubba wanted the fried chicken breast and original waffle. All of them were TASTY. We were fans!
This sweet waffle had chucks of pearl sugar and a Belgian chocolate dipping sauce. Ohhhhhhh yeah.
I had to catpure Tubbs' sleepy mug on the drive home!
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
