That One Time I Forgot My Camera...

This weekend my Mother in Law and Sister in Law came into town. My SIL recently got engaged and she is getting married in Florida in March. I was super excited to be able to take a trip with them to see where the wedding and reception are going to be held. She is getting married in Ponce Inlet, which is just south of Daytona Beach. 

The drive from Orlando to Daytona isn't that bad, maybe 90 minutes if traffic is bad. 

Still kind of far to turn around half way there because you forget your camera.

Epic fail on my part. 

However, my iPhone didn't let me down and all of these pictures are coming straight of my phone, no editing what so ever.

Ponce Inlet has a lot of history, and it was fun to play tourist and take in some of the sights. 

 

We visited the Ponce Inlet Light House. 

 Alexis climbed all the way to the top, and back down again. 203 steps each way. 

The view from the top was incredible

My SIL is getting married on the beach somewhere in the middle of the photo.

This little stinker convinced her Granny she needed a hat and new sunglasses. 

I got her a t shirt that said she climbed the light house.

I thought I was on my cardio game....that light house proved me wrong!!

It was such a fun day out!

A Disney Day Out

One of the perks of living in Orlando is having lots of fun things to do right on your doorstep. 

We are lucky enough to have annual passes to Disney (thanks, Mom!).

It's always a lot of fun to sneak off to the parks for a couple of hours...

We headed to Magic Kingdom, it's the most "toddler friendly" park. We rode the magic carpets, the Dumbo ride and the Carousel.

The carousel is one of her favorite rides. Picking which horse to ride is one of the best parts!!

There is always so much to see....

(That pony tail....I die!!)

And there's always an opportunity to strike a pose....

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

Treasure Island Beach Trip

Here are a few of my favourite snaps from our mini vacation.

Treasure Island is only about 90 mins from where we live in Orlando

We had a great time, Alexis fully embraced the beach bum lifestyle

I love the beach, it soothes my soul. 

I crave the salty air and sand between my toes.

The way the crashing waves can drown out all the white noise in my head.

Even if its just for an hour. 

Just one more reason I love living in Florida!!

Disney!!

I live in the tourism capital of Florida, yet we never take advantage of the theme parks that are right on our doorstep. Last year we got Sea World passes as the park is more baby friendly - it's not that big, there are inside exhibits and they have a baby center with actual changing tables and vending machines with diaper cream and wipes and stuff. They do an awesome deal where you pay for one day's admission and you get unlimited entry until December. Now that Alexis is a little older and is all about Mickey Mouse club house, I have been wanting to take her to Disney. We live 15 minutes away - it seems silly to not take advantage of what's on our doorstep - plus under 3's are free! 

So now we are the proud owners of two shiny Disney annual passes! 

Sunday we took Alexis to Magic Kingdom. It was an amazing day! The park was busier than we expected, and the temps were pushing 90 degrees but Alexis was so well behaved and we had a great time!
