Fall break

October 23, 2024

We ended up having the very best Fall break but we weren’t sure if it was going to happen at all the week before! GJ and I had been planning a surprise trip to Universal and Disney for the kids in honor of Spencer’s birthday! He’s always wanted to go to Universal and we thought this was the perfect time. Well, it was the perfect time…but Hurricane Milton had some other ideas! It was a stressful week watching Milton’s expected path wobble all over the coast – we didn’t want it to hit Naples or Orlando! Thankfully it all worked out. Milton moved on through by Thursday and we were able to make our flight to Orlando Friday morning! On the plane by 7:30am…

Can’t beat that! We had the best time using the fast passes we got because we stayed at a Universal hotel. We really never waited in lines and got to do many of the rides over and over. Our favorite was definitely the Jurassic Park VelociCoaster! The most fun roller coaster I’ve ever ridden! Samantha made it on all the rides the first day except for Hulk – she wasn’t quite tall enough. We loved walking through Simpsons land…

fall break

October 16, 2024

After watching Hurricane Milton wobble and wobble all around the west coast of Florida last week, we were very thankful that Naples sustained minimal damage and no water got into GJ’s house! We were also thankful it didn’t do much damage to Orlando because we had big plans for Fall Break! I’m trying to catch up and will get through the pics soon but here’s a sneak peek…

and some even swam out to the sand bar! They might have gotten a few more jelly fish stings but thankfully no sharks!!

It was a perfect afternoon at the beach and I could have sat out there all evening…

But we had to get cleaned up to go to dinner.

We headed out about 9am Sunday morning and I will not go into details of our SEVEN hour drive home but let’s just say we were very, very glad to be home when we finally made it.

Orange Beach

September 9, 2024

On Maxwell’s birthday, we drove down to Orange Beach for the long weekend with Robert’s family. It was a long drive down but we finally got there about 10pm. We were not happy to wake up on Saturday and see this!

Thankfully it cleared up a little that afternoon and we got some beach time in! Hooray!

Unfortunately the beach time also came with some jellyfish stings – which was a recurring theme all weekend!

Thankfully she survived and we had fun.
