Day 1 - Semi Legoland

Original itinerary: Legoland from 10am to 2pm; and again from 6pm to 9pm for an evening event

Revised itinerary: stay in hotel all day, Legoland from 7:30pm to 9pm

We were closely monitoring Gab's health so we decided against any activities for the day. We all woke up at around 11am the next day. A first for me! The last time I woke so late was 'before kids'.

Gab was very weak. So i sent Gambit to firstly collect our car hire from Enterprise, then proceed to pick up food essentials at a grocery called Ralph's. Of course, I researched the address beforehand. We had all the addresses stored in Gambit's Nokia Navigator including the car rental location. All he had to do was trust his GPS and get his head around to driving at the 'right' side of the road (once again). It is Gambit's first trip to America, and so very out of his comfort zone. Not to mention a sick kid to tend to. Kudos to my partner, he managed to come back in one piece and with an armful of groceries.

Gab managed to eat a couple of toast slices and some gatorade for rehydration. Gradually, he regained his strength. He would not give up on going to Legoland on our first day in America (that's how the Aussies call USA. It's America, not the US). I told him to convince his dad that he is indeed well enough to go to Legoland. So at 7pm, we spontanouesly made the trip with a semi sick child!

After all, this is their holiday!
