Florida, Part II

We loved our time in Florida! We had so much fun catching up with friends and enjoyed spending time as a family. The second half of our trip was spent at Disney World! We had been thinking of taking a trip there, I love it so much, and since we were going to be in FL anyway, and close by, we decided to parlay our reunion trip into a vacation too. It happened to be an excellent time to go too...not a peak season, so not too crowded, and we were able to get all our meals free. That's always good!



We waited until the morning we were actually heading to Disney to tell Caroline. She was so excited! We had some Mickey ears from a before-we-had-kids trip back in 2006 with these two. She was super excited and we put a Disney CD in the player and sang along the whole way.



It was cold most of the week while we were there. I was glad we had brought some jackets and sweaters. So cold, in fact, that I put leggins on under Caroline's pants to keep her cold and we had blankets in the stroller for both kids. At least we weren't hot and sweaty the whole time!







We took over 700 pictures on our trip....so I will be blogging about this for a while! I'll be back soon with more...for now, have a good week!

Florida, part I

Way back in Febraury, we loaded up, and I do mean loaded, up the car and headed to Florida for 9 days. The first leg of our trip was to Florida College, the place where we met and began to fall in love. The place of our first forays into adulthood. A then 2 year school that has now evolved to offer many 4 year degrees, it was time for Aaron's 10 year reunion. We were excited to go back. It had been a long time for both of us...never as a married couple had we walked that campus, but now we returned with rings on our fingers and 2 children in tow.



A late night meet-and-greet of his class and we were exhausted. Our drive down took hours longer than it should have, and it rained the.entire.way. Not so much fun. We had about 2 hours to eat, get the children settled, and primp before we needed to leave the hotel. It was a rush, but we made it.



We got to spend time with our dear friends, Matt and Candee. It had been too long! Living on seperate coasts will do that though. (Not going to be much longer though...they are coming our way in July! Yay!) Aaron and Matt were suitemates and Matt was one of Aaron's groomsmen.



Suite 9....from the left....Richard (Aaron's actual roomate and another groomsman), Clay, Manly, Aaron, and Matt. Only 3 of their suitemates were not in attendace. They were like giddy schoolgirls when they saw each other. I have often wondered what really went on in that suite...but then I decided I probably don't really want to know. I will add that we were all especially surprised to see Clay...his wife was pregnant and due 2 weeks (I think) from the event. What an amazing trooper she was!



In front of their suite. That dorm isn't used to house students anymore. They have built a brand new one to replace it and it's super amazing. College students are living well now. Ha!



In front of my old room! The building was the newest on campus when I lived there. I've heard that current students refer to it as "the old dorm that smells." Sigh. Life sure does move on, huh?
