Ron Jon Cape Caribe Resort: Port Canaveral, Florida

OK~ Another glimpse into what's in store for the Iowa to Florida family road trip! Sun, Sand, Beaches, and everything that Iowa does not have in March, are what await us! So.....I must say I was more than elated when Ron Jon Cape Caribe Resort partnered up with me! With this resort being Orlando's closest oceanfront Resort, this is definitely a win-win!

Yeah, this lazy river looks to be where you find this Mom! A beach, pool, hot-tub, waterslide, lazy river, "just for tots pool," Children's play area, Miniature Golf Course, and the list just goes on and on......This resort is simply a vacation destination in itself! I cannot wait to share my own personal experience with all of you in March of 2012!

This resort happens to be near Port Canaveral, which is home to many cruise lines. The cool thing about this resort- If you are a cruising family and stay at this resort before or after your cruise; you can park (while cruising) on their property for no charge. Now, depending on the length of your cruise, this in itself, can add up to substantial savings.

Now this tram is also intriguing me.......This resort is so big- offering TONS of amenities...so many, that tram service is offered from 8:00 a.m.- 8:00 p.m. 

Stay tuned.....The family road trip from Iowa to Florida just got a little more interesting! The Ron Jon Cape Caribe Resort is gonna be one fun place to stay......After All, It's All In a Mom's Day, Right?

*My family and I will be guests on this property in March of 2012.  The opinions expressed here are mine and nobody else's. The photos in this post are owned by the Ron Jon Resort Cape Caribe.

The $2.35 School Lunch Days are History

OK~ I do believe that this is official. I knew this day would arrive- my 16 year old son no longer finds it acceptable to eat hot lunch in the high school cafeteria. You know, I did wonder when this day would arrive. He has had open campus this whole school year, and has now discovered that it is GRAND to eat off campus!

So, I was just informed that $5.00 is NOT enough for lunch!  Well, this Mom thinks it is. I see a little budgeting coming into play- He will have $50.00 for the week- Lunch, Activities and Gas. So, he will have to figure out how to make that $50.00 work! Sounds realistic to this Mom- Your thoughts?

And it's only been due to the construction in the cafeteria that we have been getting by on the $2.35 for the hot lunch at school. When the construction has ended, the extras will be able to be added on. Which, came to around $4.00 last year. So, I do think this little budget we now have in play for his hot lunch, activities, and gas will be a realistic one.... After All, It's All In a Mom's Day, Right?

Mr. Einstein Is In The House

OK~ We are on the hunt for that one little book. You know, that one book that goes with that one laptop? I made the statement,"So, that is how that works!" Garrett says to me, "Mom, You are an Einstein!" I replied, "Yes, I finally know something!"

I got the eye roll- "Mom, I was not serious!" Well, this Mom took it as a compliment-We have an Einstein in the house and I am one proud woman!  After All, It's All In a Mom's Day, Right?

YES- You Need To Be Home By 10:30 P.M.

OK~ With a new 16 1/2 year old driver in the house, let's just say, this Mom is frazzled! I know that I need to put my faith in him- that he will make the right choices, follow the road signs, and make it home in time...........

So- The clock has been tested! He heads uptown to meet a friend for supper and go bowling. OK, I can buy that (literally, it cost me $15.00)!  Thankfully his part time job starts in a little more than a month.

Bowling begins at 8:00 P.M.- The clock is ticking...... Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock!

The clock says 10:29 P.M.- No car....Ahhhhhh....But, at 10:30 P.M.- The care has arrived!  Yes, he can do it! After All, It's All In a Mom's Day, Right?

River Palm Cottages & Fish Camp: Jensen Beach, Florida

OK~ Another little glimpse into what I have to share with you over the next few weeks, in regards to the family road trip to Key West, Florida from Iowa! As many of you know, our family loves the outdoors. So- we were all excited when River Palm Cottages & Fish Camp partnered with us in our Iowa to Florida Road Trip in 2012!

And I must say....I'm anxious for this view! A little rest and relaxation- located on the inter-coastal waterway- offering you tranquility and fun- a nice little package! Visitors can fish right off of the dock located off of the property, which does have green lights on it. Making it a fisherman's paradise!

With beautiful beaches along the island, cute little shops nearby, and several fun restaurants nearby- River Palm Cottages & Fish Camp looks to be a fun place to stay while in the Jensen Beach Area.

And I must say Cottage #21 looks to be an inviting place to stay! The property is home to 25 Cottages and they all have their own unique look!

A taste of Florida, the great outdoors, and a fisherman's paradise- River Palm Cottages & Fish Camp will be a fun place to spend a night while checking out the Florida coast in March of 2012. After All, It's All In a Mom's Day, Right?
