Our summer vacation has come and gone. We left on a Friday and didn't come home until the following Sunday..so needless to say, we took our time. 10 days to be exact. Uncle Bill and Aunt Brenda have an amazing,comfortable, relaxing, state of the art home down there..that could not have been more enjoyable. Thank you guys so much for letting us stay there! If we were not at Disney parks or the beach...we were in the house either in the pool or the hot tube, playing rock band upstairs in the game room, watching a movie on the 60+ inch HDTV or just reading magazines and resting on the enormous couches and chairs. Ahhhh...So relaxing!!
We did decide to leave the house once or twice...")
Early in the week we visited Melbourne Beach. Karlie and Janie both love, love, love the beach. They love the sand, the waves, and the people watching.
Monday was my 30Th birthday..so Mike and I got dressed up and went to the House of Blues at Downtown Disney. I had never been to the House of Blues and loved the atmosphere. Mike and I also love all of that Cajun soul food. We got the BBQ sandwich w/sweet potato fries and the Seafood Jambalaya..and ate off of each others plate. It was yummy!!Tuesday we took the girls to Sea World. Karlie and Janie loved it. Everything except for the Elmo show, which was one of the major reasons for us going there. They are both obsessed with Elmo at home, but seeing him up close was just too much! Here is a picture of Karlie in front of one of the aquariums.
PS...all of the pictures were taken with the new camera that Mike got me for my birthday. I love it!! Thanks baby!
Wednesday we celebrated Janie's 1st birthday. We went out to eat..which I know...was more for us then her, but still! ") Here is my favorite picture of her..we were singing her Happy Birthday and she was acting shy!
Thursday we took the girls to Aquatica. The water park associated with Sea World. That was great because it wasn't busy..and the heat didn't bother us.. being that we were in the water most of the time. The girls couldn't do much because they are so little..so we rode around and around on the lazy river at least 100 times. My favorite part of this day was when it started raining. We decided to take a lunch break. Mike had packed some snacks...Cheese Whiz, crackers, beef jerky and Oreo's. This is what we feasted on. I just know all of the people sitting around us from other countries were thinking..."Americans" as they ate their grapes. ")
