Florida {Part 2}

 The beach!  Ah, beautiful St. Augustine, we meet again.  It was a brief trip to the beach due to the wind and chill (by chill I mean it was in the 60s, brrr! Lol!).  Though truthfully, after the 80s we'd been enjoying while walking around Orlando's amusement parks, 60s seemed like freezing temps.  We decided to skip putting swimsuits on the girls since it was chilly and windy.  We figured they'd just get their feet a little wet and be content.  Ha!  We should have known better. 

Florida! {Part 1}

After many years of waiting and planning, we surprised our girls with a spring break trip to Florida.  The girls are currently six and eight and at the perfect ages for the magic of Disney.  After a very long drive, which went surprisingly smoothly, we arrived at our hotel in Florida and settled in to recuperate from the journey.

We spent all day on Friday at Disney's the Magic Kingdom.  The pedometer on my phone counted us at a total of 11 miles walked around the park that day.  Such a busy and magical day!!  The girls loved the rides.  Pretty sure Gabrielle is now a roller coaster junkie.  At six, she'd never been on a roller coaster before.  We started her off on Space Mountain.  Oh my.  She was in the seat in front of me gripping onto the bar for dear life as the roller coaster began to move, so nervous and excited.  As we rounded the first turn and gained speed, all she could say was "THIS IS AWESOME!"  She then insisted we go on every roller coaster there at least once and was a little bummed when we went on the rides that were more "experiences" than thrill rides.  Laurelin enjoyed all of the rides; the waiting not so much however.  I do have to say, they are now pros at queuing. 

Class of 2014 it's your time to shine!
