Florida Adventure

This past week John and I went on our biggest adventure of our marriage!  John's parents invited us to spend a week with them in Florida and we couldn't pass up the chance!  It was PERFECT!
 The plane ride there was not my favorite part.  Johnson did pretty well but definitely didn't love it.  However, he did love getting his diaper changed in the Detroit airport. :)




 On our first day we drove all around Florida looking at places from John's childhood.  We saw the hospital where he was born, the house he was brought home to, the second house he lived in, his first school and Forrest's workplaces.  It was so fun to hear all of their fun stories and get to see where John started his life!
 Day two we went to Magic Kingdom!  It was SUPER hot, but definitely a great day!  Johnson was a good sport about riding in his stroller and wearing a funny hat.


 First stop, Small World!

 Johnson LOVES "Flying" with Dad!

 Jungle Cruise
 Chillin with Grandpa

I have always dreamed of taking my kids to Disney and getting them personalized Mickey ears.  Don't you love my cute model husband too?



 Day two we spent at Epcot!

 Seuss Land was pretty epic.

 My favorite part of the trip was Harry Potter land.  I cried a little as we walked through the castle.  It was a dream come true!  Johnson even wore his Harry Potter onesie :)

 Drinking a butterbeer in the Hog's Head!

Jurassic Park land was super sweet as well.  Except when John took me on a ride with a huge drop without telling me.  Never....again...



 We rented a house while we were there and it had a pool.  We were so excited to take Johnson swimming since he loves his bath so much.  He was pretty indifferent about the whole experience.  He didn't laugh, or cry.  He just sucked on his fingers.
 He did, however, love getting out of the pool and was completely tuckered out once he was clean and dressed!


Thursday night we went back to Magic Kingdom for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.  This was another one of my favorites from the trip!  Johnson wore his Mickey suit and was such a cutie. They had hot chocolate and cookie stands set up through the park and Christmas music playing.  It also snowed on Main Street and we saw the most amazing parade.  The highlight of the night was the fireworks show.  Definitely the best I've ever seen!  Such a magical night!





 On Friday, Ruth had a conference to go to so we went to Animal Kingdom with Forrest.  This was a replica of the most complete TRex skeleton ever found.  Amazing!
 My favorite part was our safari ride!
On our final night in Florida we went back to Epcot to celebrate Ruth and Forrest's 40th wedding anniversary.  We had dinner at the most amazing French restaurant.  Johnson wasn't feeling well and was pretty grumpy but the food was amazing!  I couldn't pass up a chance of getting a photo of my cute in laws in front of the Eiffel Tower on their anniversary!  They are such a blessing in our lives and Johnson loves them just as much as we do!

Now we are back to work, school and daycare and missing our wonderful trip.  It was definitely one of the highlights of my life and I will never forget it!
