6th, 7th, and 8th days of Florida. the end.

Here it is! The final three days of our fabulous Florida trip.

On Monday went to Epcot and we went for
a swim in the afternoon before
heading over to down town Disney at night.
Epcot was great but I feel like we
hardly had time to see anything.

Something memorable we did was
have fish and chips in "England".
I also got a lovely burn on my back.
Elliot and Avery met Daisy Duck,
Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Stitch .
Good times, good times.

Day seven we went to Aquatica,
a water park owned my Sea World
and then we went into Orlando
and took some old time photos and went out to eat.
I picked up a magnet for our fridge.
Does anyone else do that?

On our last day there were two places near the villa
Andrew and I had to go to before heading home.

I wanted to try some Goats Milk fudge
from a small family owned shop
and Andrew wanted to get a pasty
at a British pastry shop.
Yum.
We couldn't go home until we saw my brand new niece.
Josie Eleanor Manning was born while we were in Florida.
She was one week early.
Such a darling little girl!

Florida is an amazing place for a family vacation,
although a little humid.
Andrew's auntie Di is talking about
buying a house there
for us to vacation every now and again.
Now that would be ideal!

third day of vacation: Magic Kingdom

Officially we have been back from our Florida trip for 24 hours
but I have to take the time to post some of the photos I took.
Expect more in the next few days to come.

Day 3 consisted of Disney World Magic Kingdom.
Don't be too surprised to hear that it was Andrew's 5th or 6th
time at Disney World when it was my first.
A little odd considering I'm the American!
I have gone to CA Disneyland multiple times though.


It's hard to say how much Elliot and Avery will remember
as they grow up but we had a lot of fun.

They didn't really know what Disney was
but they made some great memories
so next time they'll really look forward to it - kind of like Christmas.

That reminds me - the other day Elliot was singing
a Christmas song and Andrew said how he
shouldn't sing it until Christmas next year
and Elliot couldn't believe Christmas was next year too.


Avery absolutely loved that little bubble gun.
It's a keeper!
Elliot missed the parade since he was with Andrew
meeting Mickey Mouse but Avery saw it and
you can see in her face that she didn't know what to think.

Against Andrew's wished we went on It's a Small World.
Fortunately, the song wasn't as bad as he remembered.
It's a classic Disney ride so I was not about to deprive my children from it.

We went to Magic Kingdom on the train so we left on the boat.
The train and the boat were Elliot's
favorite parts of the day and they weren't
even park rides. Ha ha!

After putting the kiddos to sleep we were able to
go back and catch a few rides.
We wore the 3-D glasses for Philharmagic.
I absolutely loved it!
Too bad CA Disneyland doesn't have it.
We were able to catch the end of the lights parade
and purchase an umbrella for Claire and Avery -
a Freeman family tradition.

I only wish we had more time to spend.
One day just isn't enough.
