Dream Vacation and Home!

Before we came home from Texas, we took advantage of a really great airline deal and some Christmas and birthday money and went on our dream vacation. {Correction: Jen's dream vacation.} I am the very blessed wife of a loving husband who was willing to use our vacation allotment for the next few years to go to all my favorite places. Next time we can afford a big vacation it's all his :) {Mexico, anyone?}

Our vacation included the following:
Disney World
Universal Studios [Harry Potter world]
Kennedy Space Center
the BEACH (Tarpon Springs and Clearwater, to be specific)
Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks [read: beachside shopping - just what we both love]

So here is a giant bunch of photos to document said vacation:

Jack playing in the dinosaur uncovery pit at Downtown Disney

Riding the boats around Downtown Disney

Our trooper starting the day off right at Disney World - despite having been up all night with a molar coming in...

First ride of the day: Dumbo! (Just like Mommy's first trip to Disney World)

Family selfie on the carousel

Outside Cinderella's castle

Jack and random photobomber outside the castle

Universal Studios: riding the Hogwarts Express!!!

Jack and Daddy (and Doggie) at the Hogwarts Express

In Hogsmeade village 

Outside Hogwarts castle

Riding One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish (the only ride Jack went on all day... he was a bit short for the Universal rides, but enjoyed himself nonetheless)

Basically the coolest picture we've ever had taken. I was busy riding the Spiderman ride twice in a row on the single rider line and missed the epic meet-and-greet. 

Family picture outside Kennedy Space Center
Jack and Daddy with a very, very large rocket.

Seeing a real, live space shuttle (Jack was obviously enthralled)

Playing at Tarpon Springs beach - it was windy!


Swimming at Clearwater Beach - definitely in my top three beaches. I would go here again, no question.

It was hardly even cold - and for me, that's saying something (especially because it was March!)

Jack LOVED the sand. He also loved eating the sand. We did not love changing the resulting diapers for the next few days...

Very washed out sunset picture, Jack is obsessed with his straw from lunch.

We watched this boat sail right into the sun. It was beautiful.

And then we came home and started real life all over again!

Best friends Jack and Emma :) 
Jack's excitement when we told him he's getting a BROTHER in September!
