Mum and Keith came into our room at 8.30am this morning, because it's Nikki's birthday and she wanted us all there when she opened her cards and presents. Even though we're miles from home - she still did really well - getting loads of cards and money, as well as some presents from me and Emma.
At 10am we checked-out of our Miami apartments and set off for Kissimmee. We were planning to drive up the East Coast, driving through places like Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach - to see if we (me and Nikki) liked the look of anywhere to stay on our way back to Miami in a weeks time. We thought that the journey would take about 4 hours...
8 HOURS LATER we arrived at the Westgate Resort in Kissimmee. How Nikki managed to stay so calm, traveling for that long, on her birthday - i'll never know!?
We sorted our things out, did some washing and then went out to celebrate Nikki's birthday... what a disaster!
She chose to go to Cattleman's Steak House for a meal - where it all went wrong! Firstly, we all ordered starters and mine didn't turn up. When the waitress was about to bring out the steaks, I mentioned my lack of food and she bought out the alligator tail i'd ordered - delaying the main course. Then, when the steaks finally arrived, my steak (rare) was given to my Mum, and her steak (medium) was given to me - which I covered in Peppercorn Sauce. When my Mum cut into her 'rare' steak she was almost ill. So back they went... d'oh!
Throughout all the madness, Nikki and Emma really enjoyed their meals (now there's a first).
All together now: "Happy Birthday to Nikki..."
