Flashback - Spring Break

This post is only 9 weeks late. Better late than never, eh? We were very lucky to spend Spring Break in Florida this year. It was AMAZING! We stayed a week on Treasure Island with Roger and Mona. They had rented a condo right on the Gulf of Mexico. I've included a few of my favorite pictures from our vacation. It was hard to narrow it down to these. When all was said and done, we had taken over 300 pictures.






This was the view from our balcony. It was so relaxing to sit on the balcony, mojito in hand, and watch the ocean.



Getting ready to head to dinner on one of our first nights there. Fortunately for us, Roger and Mona had already scoped out all the good restaurants. We ate out for dinner most nights. So yummy.




The pool was right below our balcony. Thomas and I loved the pool. We swam for about 3 1/2 hours everyday. The bonuses of that were twofold. First, Thomas is now a great swimmer. He likes to dive down and retrieve things from the bottom, can swim longer distances, and can swim underwater. Second, it tired him right out. All that swimming meant no wiggly boy in restaurants, no tantrums or exclamations of boredom, and (most importantly) a boy that asked to go to bed AND slept in. :)



We spent 2 days in Orlando. While there, we visited Disney's Hollywood Studios and The Animal Kingdom. We stayed at Disney's All Star Movies Resort.

Us with 2 of T's favorites - McQueen and Mater.



Alan and Roger after riding the Kali River Rapids (twice). Thomas, Mona, and I went with them once. The lines were super short and they just stayed on for another go around.




My absolute FAVORITE picture from our vacation. This HUGE Buzz Lightyear (along with the other guys from Toy Story) was at our hotel. Thomas loved seeing all these guys up close.




Yep, it rained. It rained hard while we were at the Animal Kingdom. Alan planned ahead and bought the ponchos at the hotel before it started raining. Unfortunately, we still got hosed and had to pay Disney prices ($10 each). The rain was actually a blessing. It was short lived and brought the temp way down. Also, because of the rain, the lines were really short.








We had so much fun making memories on our vacation!
