Florida Bound

Originally, I was supposed to be in Florida at a work conference. It was going to be great. I would be there and Tim would bring the kids. We would spend time with Tim's family and go to Magic Kingdom to celebrate Addison's 5th birthday. The timing seemed to work out great. So when I quit my job a few months ago, it was undecided if we would still go to Florida. Turns out my new employer is pretty awesome, and they allowed me to take the vacation. So on Saturday morning we headed to Florida. The girls were pretty excited to fly. As added excitement, which I realize they don't need anymore because it's Disney right? But I tend to go overboard at times, thanks other bloggers and Pintrest. I decided the girls would get Minnie Mail from Minnie Mouse while they were there. I also told them that Minnie had sent them a gift to give them when they got to the airport. I mean how cute are these little backpacks! They both thought they were pretty big girls pulling their backpack around the airport. So off we went with cute frozen backpacks in tow.

 

We spent most of the first day flying to Florida, getting our rental, driving in circles, getting a few groceries at a ghetto Target, and finally finding our Disney property, Saratoga Springs. That evening we rode a boat over to Downtown Disney to eat. We were all pretty tired so we ate at the first place that had no wait. We ate fast and headed home for bed. While we were out Minnie dropped off a gift. She did that quite a lot. As I said Minnie may have gone a little overboard, but the girls thought it was awesome and Tim gave me a "good mom" pat on the back so it was worth it. Before we left I told the girls they had to decorate a gift bag because Minnie comes while you are out or asleep. Sort of like a stocking approach. It saved Minnie lots of wrapping!
