We had the most wonderful vacation in Florida! It was everything we hoped it would be: fun, relaxing, and peaceful. We enjoyed 5 days in Amelia Island right on the Atlantic Ocean, and 2 days in Disney World. I'll let the pictures tell the story...
When we arrived, we immediately walked out to the beach to build sand castles.
We spent a lot of time at the pool.
If you look closely, you can see Jon and Kylie enjoying the water!
Kylie was so excited to play with her beach toys!
Jon got a new beach toy of his own.
A BOOMERANG!
He nearly took our heads off a few times! :)
Enjoying the view from the balcony.
Some days, Brooks just watched his fish of a sister!
We mini golfed!
It was a hard for me, but Jon won!
Brooks' technique needs a little work.
Riding in his "boat."
The food was glorious!
There was a shrimp boil at the resort, and it was fantastic!
We found a cupcake shop in Fernandina Beach!
Fernandina Beach is a cute town on Amelia Island.
This is in front of the court house in the historic downtown.
We played at a little playground on the resort!
We also visited our friends from residency, the Redmonds, who now live in Jacksonville.
I went for a run before the kids got up each morning, and this is what I usually came home to.
Jon sleeping, and Kylie and Brooks watching "pretty shows."
We spent a couple of days in Disney World.
We loved the Magic Kingdom.
Here we are meeting Elsa, Mickey Mouse, Rapunzel, and Tinker Bell.
A few more:
Standing in front of the castle, riding the tea cups, meeting Chip, and posing with new hats!
Main Street USA was all decked out for Halloween.
We stayed at the Wilderness!
There was a very fun outdoor swimming area.
The Wilderness has a campfire most nights that Chip and Dale visit.
It was a great experience for the kids with lots of time with the chipmunks!
Kylie got several hugs!
Chip traced Brooks with chalk!
Here we are in Fairytale Princess Hall waiting to meet Elsa and Anna!
Prince Charming's Carousel.
I just adore this picture of Brooks on the tea cups!
You can totally see his joy!
Sweet girl with Goofy!
Riding the Astro Orbiter!
We got to see a parade!
Most of the characters were in it!
Here are Elsa and Anna!
The Little Mermaid!
Mickey and Minnie pulling up the rear!
Playing at Tom Sawyer's Island.
Sunrise!
It was an amazing vacation!
