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!!
