Florida - Spring Break

For Dane's spring break we headed down to Florida for one heck of a vacation! We went down with 3 of the most fun couples ever and had a blast staying together in a condo right on the beach.

The condo we stayed at had a lakeside pool, oceanside pool, and the beach was beautiful. We learned quickly that Beck is definitely not afraid of the water, he had no problem bellyflopping in whenever he got the chance.


We spent our nights chatting, eating, watching Bryan Regan, and of course playing lots of games!
Beck spent his nights glued to baby einstein with Josh and Emily's darling little Lydia

Tuesday we went to DISNEYWORLD!!! The only proper way to describe a day at disney is MAGICAL!!!
Emily, Lydia, me, Beck, Danielle, Nichole (and Lucy)
This makes 3 trips to Disney for Beck, but this was the first time that he met any of the characters, he still doesn't get it of course but someday when he knows who Woody is he might think it's cool that he has a picture with him haha.

Still no reaction from Beck on any of the rides either. He doesn't have a clue what a great childhood we have given him so far. I just hope we make it back when he is old enough to really appreciate the joy of Disney.


Oh and don't worry my 27-year-old child Dane was able to get on almost all of the rides so he was a very happy boy. I still wouldn't have been surprised if he had come up missing one of the last days of the trip because he had snuck off for another day in Disney.



We were staying about 20 mins away from St Augustine (the nations oldest city) so we spent one of the days seeing some historical sites and doing a little shopping.


Yes we did!!
Erik, Brian, Beck, Dane, Josh


I'm not going to lie I was a little worried that after living together for a week we would all be sick of each other by the end, but not true (at least for me) I'm already brainstorming what our next group vacation could be!! I'm so glad these guys have to be our friends for at least 3 more years I'm sure this was only the beginning of many good times together!

I'm going to blog today. And the only reason I'm going to blog is so that you and I can have some type of communication between blog comments. What has happened to our relationship?!
