Day 5 was a more relaxing day. We spent the morning swimming at the hotel pool at the French Quarter. It was a beautiful morning, and after several really busy days at the park we were ready for some relaxing! The pool was perfect for a French Quarter inspired hotel - it was a big dragon, and the water slide was his tongue - the kiddos loved it! Madeline met some kids from Canada during the week, that girlie finds friends everywhere she goes :-) By that time we were having some blisters and tired legs, so the pool was good therapy.
After the pool, we left the French Quarter with heavy hearts, and headed into the Florida sun to Cocoa Beach. It was a short drive from Disney, and was a beautiful place! It was perfect after the crazy busy Disney World to go to the relaxing beach. I jokingly asked whether they'd give us a free upgrade room to overlook the beach and they did it! Actually we went from a regular room to a villa, which had two floors with a full kitchen and living room downstairs and two bedroom areas in a loft upstairs. I have learned to always ask - it doesn't always pay off, but lots of times it does! Here was our first view of the beach from the bedroom window.
After getting settled into the room, we headed out to the beach - we were a happy family!
Here is the classic pic of my feet in the sand (I love these pictures - Steven thinks I'm a dork!)
So beautiful - it makes me feel calm and happy just looking at these pictures :-)

How cool that you got a nice upgrade! Going to the beach after Disney was a great idea. It is fun to see your pictures and read your stories. I am so glad that you blog.
Good for you that you got the upgrade, it never hurts to ask. Again, super pictures of a great place to vacation. It makes me want to go!
