Florida
We had so much fun on our vacation. I had such a busy summer that I was just mentally exhausted and really needed this time away from my computer and phone. But all good things must end and I am super happy to be home and by my computer again.
We started out in Orlando. We met my brother and family who live here in Utah and my sister and family who are from Kentucky. We rented this amazing house (which I forgot to get pics of). We did four days of Disney (2 days Magic Kingdom, 1 day Animal Kingdom and 1 day MGM). Then 1 day of SeaWorld.
Then we went to Miami Beach and stayed in this swanky hotel on the beach and got pampered a little.
For those who have not been to Miami, it is pure eye candy. Everywhere you look you see pastel colored 1930's architecture, huge mediterranean inspired homes with yachts parked out front, quaint cafe's and restaurants on every corner. Clubs thumping Cuban music can be heard from every direction. High fashion boutiques everywhere. We drove down the same street 4 times just to see everything we wanted to. I am already regretting not spending more time taking pics there but there just wasnt the opportunity.
So this morning we woke up at 2 am to get to our flight on time. By about 9 this morning I was exhausted. But sleeping on a plane is out of the question. About that time the flight attendant came on the loud speaker and made an announcement that kept me giggling (remember I am sleep deprived) ALL DAY. "Welcome Delta passengers to flight ___. We would like to point out that October is breast awareness month". Then a huge pause. By the time she came back on and tried to explain she meant breast cancer awareness the damage had been done.
I had better get to bed. I have a busy week of photos ahead of me and I cant wait to get back into it.
