I am the newest fan of Florida vacations. I realize how much I love tropical places and even though it's can't do a thing with your hair humid it's perfect for the lay under an umbrella by the pool and drink strawberry daiquiris vacation. Perfect!
We loved every second!
Here are pictures...with commentary of course.
Hardest part was leaving this cute face behind.
Airplane rides...I love 'em...and I'm loving the new movies while you fly idea...I feel like a kid in a minivan on a trip to SLC.
I feel totally spoiled with the hotels they put us in. The Waldorf was absolutely no exception. It was breathtaking.
Even cupcakes to welcome us....score!
First day we went touring. We went to the Tiffany stained glass museum. Sounds lame but oh no folks it was in.credible. Found a picture online for you. Imagine every penny sized piece of glass perfectly placed. People just don't do things like this anymore.
Outside the Morse Museum.
Next was a boat tour on three separate lakes connected by small canals where HUGE homes have the most incredible backyard views. They all have small boat houses that are mini versions of their homes. Totally cool. We saw a home Tom Hanks lived in and even the home THE Mr. Rogers lived in. I totally get...it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood because it is.

Biggest home was 23,000 square feet. Lots alone are $2 Million. I know. Seriously.
Can you imagine waking up to this everyday?
I totally have a thing for dessert and my favorite being anything raspberry and chocolate and at our yummy French restaurant there was this delectable yummy-ness!
Hi Vickie! One of my best childhood friends lived 30 minutes from our hotel and when she heard I was coming she wanted to meet up. So she brought her adorable family and we visited by the pool while the little kiddos swam.
Loved seeing her!
A full day of...
Being total dorks in our 3D glasses before Spiderman.
My favorite ride...Rip saw falls
And we did...like 'ring out your socks' wet. Total blast!
Of course the much anticipated Harry Potter that is every bit as awesome as we heard.
...and the butter beer...oh the butter beer. Wow. Never heard of it? It's like a rootbeer slush with butterscotch cream on top...brilliant people...brilliant.
I even braved The Hulk. It was um...intense is a good word.

It took me a good half hour to find my stomach afterwards.
I'm convinced that the people we were with are some of the coolest people on planet earth.

We kept each other out until wee hours of the morning taking full advantage of every hour we had away.
It was just purely perfect.

Yay for Florida vacations! You are so fast posting about the trip already! Good for you! I can't even think about my blog right now! Girl's Camp will consume my life until next week when it's over! Had a great time hanging with you guys and I think we are seriously coming down next month! Can't wait to get our boys together!
Gotta love the insurance profession! Looks like so much fun! What a great vacation!
What is the word?.... Oh Yeah, JEALOUSY!!! I haven't been on a trip with my husband alone since our honeymoon. Looks like you guys had a blast. Live it up!
What a fun trip! I wanna go! In a few months... when I am not the size of a beached whale! :-) Anyway, totally in awe! Looks like you had a blast!
I'm so glad that you found my blog! I have a big AMEN to wanting to be back there...laying by the pool and eating that delicious salsa! You have such a cute little family-maybe we will see you in August, I can't decide if the kiddos and I are going to tag along or not!
Oh my, that looks like so much fun! You are making me crave a vacation {and a cupcake}. You have a beautiful family and I love your stories!
Can't wait to see a post with your LMM'ish shirt, lol!!!
