Florida Vacation Part I
After 3 years from moving away, we finally made it back to Orlando for a vacation to see all our friends. It was a quick trip, though. I initially thought 4 days would be enough to see our friends and do some fun things, but not quite. I could have used one more day. We stayed with friends which helped make the trip more economical. We had planned on having a little party Saturday night where all our friends could gather in one place so we wouldn't have to run around all weekend to meet them individually. But between conflicting schedules, people wanting to see us more, and even one of my friends giving birth, we still ended up running around all weekend. Though it made it a little more hectic, it was all worth it. We did get a few fun things in as well.
Sunday evening, we went to Clearwater to watch the sunset. This is the beach where Bryan proposed to me nearly 4 years ago. Madison LOVED the beach. She loved looking for sea shells and playing in the sand. The weather was perfect for an afternoon/evening at the beach.
On Monday we spent the day at Disney World in the Magic Kingdom. Maddie had a GREAT time. She enjoyed seeing the princesses and of course Cinderella's Castle. We rode a few rides. She didn't care too much for the dark indoor rides. The only part she liked about Pirates of the Caribbean was going down the little waterfall. I think she really would have enjoyed some of the bigger rides like Splash Mountain & Thunder Mountain Railroad, but she was 2" too short. We rode the carousel & the Astro Orbiter at night (got some really neat pictures). Bryan & I were able to ride Space Mountain before my parents left for the night. We ended the night by meeting meeting Mickey & Minnie Mouse. Madison's favorite part, however, was the fireworks display.
Tuesday was just spent catching up with all my friends (and meeting a 3-day old baby). Madison, however, started feeling ill about lunchtime. At least it was our last day. She slept most of the way home.
There were a few people we were not able to see in such a short time. I guess we'll just have to come back. Hopefully it will be in less than 3 years.
