Florida


This past week we took a vacation to Florida, just the four of us! We had beautiful weather and were able to rest and also had lots of fun!

Our vacation started out with a restful day after traveling. We went to Downtown disney and shopped around and Eli played in water fountain. Then we went back to hang out by the pool at the resort.

Unfortunately, we had to take Evan to the Urgent care that night, so our Valentines Day was spent with me waiting with a cranky baby at Night Time Pediatrics with many sick children running around and John feeding a cranky toddler at Chick-fil-A, waiting for us to finish. Eli was so upset that mommy was not there that he threw up all over himself in the car. This is when John realized that Sarah had the diaper bag, so he had to use whatever he could find to clean up. Eli was happy for a while playing in the toddler jungle gym but then needed a diaper change really bad. Once again John had to use whatever he could find in the restroom and an oversized diaper that the manager gave him. Then he got lost going back to the pediatrics place. Oh, John was also out till midnight trying to find a 24 hour pharmacy and waiting in line to get the medicine. It was quite an eventful night. Thankfully, we were able to identify the problem and start Evan on antibiotics quickly and he is doing better

Tuesday, we went to Magic Kingdom! Highlights include Eli driving his first car, riding the Buzz Lightyear ride 3 times, hugging all the characters and watching amazing fireworks over the castle.

Wednesday was another rest day. John and Eli sang karaoke, as we laid by the pool and ate grilled hotdogs and ice cream.

Thursday, it was off to Animal Kingdom, which was my (Sarah) personal favorite. We rode the safari ride two times and were able to see lots of animals.


Eli loved watching the parade and seeing Mickey.


Friday and Saturday were beach days. We headed to Cocoa Beach where the weather was perfect!

John did some surfing and even Evan played in the sand and water!


We are so thankful for a chance to get away. Now we have to recover from our vacation!
