Guess where we've been?

We visited the Gulf of Mexico instead of going to the Atlantic. The water was so warm, which was a bummer since you really wanted a cool, refreshing bathe! Florida was pushing record highs while we were there.

We ate at Applebees, and a young man was making balloon animals and hats for the kids and using the tips he recieved to put himself through college. I'm sure that isn't his only source of income!

Sam and Chris ready for Buzz Lightyear's adventure.

Twins! This was while waiting for the Toy Story Mania ride at Hollywood studios. The waiting area was designed to keep your mind off of the wait.

This crane and his two friends were outside our windows each morning. We enjoyed watching them fish.

The boys had fun at the water park on our resort.

We had a fun, relaxing time, which is what vacation is supposed to be. The biggest adventure was getting there. We had been getting updates about time changes for take-off, but aparently someone just made those up. I thought our flight was leaving at 10:50, but actually it was 10:24. We were talking about how nice it will be to get there early and be ready to board and not have to run to the gate. NOT! We did have to run. We were the last ones on the plane and in the very last two rows no less. That, thankfully, was our biggest hassle.

We went to Hollywood Studios Monday, Blizzard Beach Tuesday, and Magic Kingdom Wednesday. How thankful I was that our kids didn't want to close the park down. I had no idea how our of shape I was until I walked three parks for three days in 95 degree weather! We spent Thursday in St. Petersburg on the gulf, and then Friday at Downtown Disney at the cool shops. Saturday was for rest and swimming. Florida is beautiful, but I'm very thankful to be home in the cool 80's!
