Warm Sunny Skies in Orlando


The Magic Kingdom

Tim and I getting ready to head into the park


As most of you know Tim and I flew to Orlando on Saturday to visit with his grandparents and family in the area. I was all about it not only to see family but we all know I can’t pass up warm weather. Tim knew that I was struggling with the winter blues so what a perfect gift for me to be able to go to warm sunny Florida for Valentines Day and my Birthday. What a great husband he is! Ok so we left Atlanta at 12:50, it was cold and rainy and when we landed in Orlando an hour and 15 minutes later it was beautiful and 82 degrees. I was in heaven. Tim’s uncle came and picked us up and we headed to his grandparents. They were on the deck when we got there enjoying the beautiful weather, so we joined them for awhile. After awhile several of Tim’s family members that live in the area came over for a special Valentines dinner that one of his aunts had made, we had a really nice time with all of them. Sunday we slept in and Tim’s grandfather continued to tease me about this the entire time we were there about how much I enjoyed sleeping in. I can’t help it it’s the way I’m wired. Sunday was a little over cast so we stayed in and took it easy. Later the afternoon the weather cleared and I went for a run, Tim came too and then we tour the downtown Winter Park area and went to a few places that Tim had gone when it was little. He also took me to Ann Taylor Loft my favorite clothing store. He told me to get whatever I wanted for Vday! They had such different clothing in there store from what we have hear because it’s warmer so it was fun to get some different articles’. We then went back to his grandparents and Tim’s parents had arrived. We made dinner and then just enjoyed chatting and hanging out with them. Monday I slept in again and Tim’s parents went to Disney that day. It was Tim’s mom’s birthday so Rose got in for free since Disney is running a special. Tim and I took books/magazines outside because it was so nice and got some sun, it was a gorgeous. I got a major farmers tan which was funny but sun none the less. Monday night Tim and I made dinner for everyone our new specialty parmesan crusted pork chops and everyone seemed to like them. Tuesday was my birthday and it was mine and Tim’s day to go to Disney. We started off getting Starbucks coffee and egg McMuffins for breakfast it was nice. It was a beautiful day but the park was a nightmare you could hardly walk anywhere and the lines were super long for the rides that weren’t even that fun. Tim and I kept asking each other if we were having fun and we were like yeah, later we both admitted we didn’t at all. Haha. The park was really beautiful and the weather was great but that was about it. We have decided that when our kids want to go we will let our mothers take them. Later that night another one of Tim’s aunts had made a special birthday dinner for Rose and I it was really nice and a few other family members came over to visit. I got lots of text, facebook messages, and calls that day which made me feel special. Wednesday morning we came home, all in all a great trip! It’s just been hard to make the transition back to the cold weather.

Me happy to be leaving the park!
