Trip is going great! Yesterday was Universal Islands of Adventure. Weather was perfect. Not to hot, not to cold. Lines were about a 10-20 minute wait...some less. The kids wore the roller coasters out.
This morning was the Kennedy Space Center. Aaron, Austin, Jaden and I skipped out on that and went ahead to the beach. The band met us there after their tour was over. I wish you all could have seen the faces of the band kids as they first crossed over the walkway and saw the ocean for the first time. Some of them just stood there, mouths wide open, taking it all in... others took off running and dived in. It was a priceless moment. For me it was the moment that all the hard work and planning by the band boosters paid off. It was cool.
So now we are on our way back to the hotel. Sun-tanned and worn out. Tomorrow we spend the day at Wet n Wild water park. Weather is suppose to be beautiful. Wednesday the band is to perform at Universal Studios and then spend the remainder of the day in the park.
For most of these kids who have never been out of Indiana, this is the trip of a lifetime.

I think it is so wonderful that the kids have the chance to experience all that!
