Disney Vacation 2009

Ok - So I took a month off from blogging... I have been really occupied with life and getting back into the swing of things after we took our vacation.
It has been rough! We had the best vacation ever - hands down!!! It was so relaxing and fun. It was great to be just our little family. This was the 1st vacation we have ever taken by ourselves.
It started out with a long 2 days in the car, but we had fun anyway just being silly to pass the time. And, I am so grateful for DVD players and Nintendo ds or leapsters for the car ride. What did our parents ever do without them???
Once we got in Florida, it was awesome. WARM WEATHER!!!!! It is so fricken' cold here in Toledo!!! We wore shorts and bathing suits all week.
Each day was relaxed and stress free. Just what the Doctor ordered... Doctor David... Heehee....
We played mini golf. We want boating in our very fashionable swan boats. Justice got to ride on Thomas the train. He was beside himself with excitement. David and the big kids went biking while I hung back with the little ones and napped. The Jacuzzi was incredible. Our day at the beach was so fun!!! Check out David and his little pink & purple polka dotted boogie board. It is hilarious! I laughed for a long time about that sight.
We went to Epcot on New Year's Eve. We never have a desire to do that again. Never go on the holiday. It is crazy... So many people.... So much noise... But we had a great time. We even ate lunch with the Disney princesses. Hope was so excited.
None of us wanted to come home. It was difficult. We really felt like it was the perfect vacation and truly were able to escape the realities of the real world...
I miss it. Oh well.... Another year over... And, what great memories we have now...

That is so much fun. We are planning a disney trip when Zach graduated in 2 months. I realize we dont have a ton of money and the economy is horrid...but we need a vacation too! It was great to read that you can go and forget all the stress and worries of life. That is why we are going!! We really need a break and lets face it...my kids need some attention. What a great vacation for you! I love all the pictures!

How fun! We love Disney world. I am glad you were able to go on that vacation and get away. Looks like you had a ton of fun. Where did you stay, it looks like a place we stayed once.
