Spring Break 2014 – Disney World

I was in Orlando for a conference the week leading up to spring break and so Carolyn and the kids hopped on a plane to join me and we extended the trip into the weekend to enjoy some time at Disney World 🙂

We spent an evening at Downtown Disney, a day at Epcot, and a day at the Typhoon Lagoon water park. At Epcot, we stood in line (against my wishes) for three hours to see the princesses from Frozen, we were able to get autographs from a few more princesses into the autograph books, and the Test Track was also a good time! Joey’s face during that ride was so funny as we whipped around turns and accelerated down straightaways. At Typhoon Lagoon, we enjoyed some sun and warm water. I loved the wave pool, the kids had a great time on the water slides, and Mommy enjoyed a chair in the sun 🙂 It was nice to get away from the cold and see the kids have such big smiles on their faces.

Cozumel with friends and family

Carolyn and I were joined by Dan, LeAnn, Nix, Jenny, Stan, and Chrissy in Cozumel this past week. We faced a lot of rain and cold weather until the day that we were due to leave but still managed to have a great time! It was a bonus that ‘cold’ Cozumel weather was still upwards to 90 degrees warmer than it was at home 🙂

Christmas break 2013

I was able to take a good amount of time off this Christmas. We played games, video games, went ice skating, sledding, watched football, went to a game, shopped, spent time with family, and enjoyed a quiet new year. It was very relaxing to be home with everyone.
