Sunday, Aug 30th: Day 2 started about the same as day one. We had made arrangements with
Grandpa Stan to spend the day with him. He and Sis live in Ocala, about an hour and a half north of Orlando. However, on Saturday, we couldn't get in touch with him. Nan called Matt and she said she'd try to get in touch with Grandpa Stan. But to no avail. Turns out his phone was out of service. So...we couldn't call him. We got on the road about 10am, and Matt found a shortcut on the map. Only problem was, it wasn't a shortcut because the road had multiple detours and we didn't have a compass in the rental car. We couldn't call Grandpa Stan for directions,
we couldn't get a hold of Nan for directions, and finally (imagine a trumpet...do doo doo doooo!) Terri, the ever ready map quest/Internet lady saved us. Our trip took almost four hours. Both Olivia and Sophie were super good, and when we finally got to Ocala, we were greeted with smiles and hugs. Both girls danced some polka, and Olivia even found a new use for a bucket (nice hat!) We didn't get to spend as much time as we'd have liked, with the Ziembas, but the time we did have was really nice. When we finally got back to the hotel room, we were beat, but Olivia
enjoyed a nice apple.
