We went on a family vacation to Disneyworld on Labor Day weekend and that was hot and exhausting!
The first day we did not do a good job drinking water because coke products were more readily
available. Boy did we all feel crappy! We were grumpy, had headaches and our legs and feet were hurting. My hands and feet were swollen from all the walking. The kids faces were red. My husband couldn't remember little things which is way weird for him. It's kinda scary now that I think about it. We were exhibiting signs of heat exhaustion and possible heat stroke with some dehydrations thrown in. It's a good thing we would take a break midday to cool down, rest and rehydrate. The second day we were there, we payed a lot more attention to our water intake and took some breaks in the air conditioned stores an restaurants.
After that experience, I wanted to share with y'all some facts about dehydration. I know that the weather is turning cooler but we can be dehydrated anytime of year. More often than not, muscle aches and pains are due to dehydration.
