Florida 2010...gets better every year

Well, I don't blog daily, or weekly, or monthly for that matter. But when I DO blog..I blog big. Prepare yourselves..over 50 pictures people. (and I think we took over 1000) But I do this for me, because it's "scrapbooking made easy" memories I don't want to forget. However, anyone is invited to take a peek into my incredible life.

I'm not going to write stuff about each picture, it's pretty self-explanatory. You can tell by the looks on our faces we had a perfect time. PERFECT.

We started out visiting my parents at Light and Life Campground, where they are working. It was a great way to start our trip, and awesome to spend some time with my parents who have left me until APRIL. (I am counting down the days for them to come home!) There were walks, swimming, putt-putting and Plant City...(Parkesdale Farms) for the absolute BEST strawberries in town.

Love this one...

From there, it was to Orlando. Stayed in a beautiful condo...spending many a night at Downtown Disney and spending two days hopping between all four Disney parks. There was Ghirardelli, trying out 5 of the 7 pools at the condo, eating out, watching Disney's "wishes" fireworks display on the roof of the Contemporary Resort, feeding the attack ducks, Krispy Kremes, Starbucks....oh too much to list. It was the BEST 10 days. I miss it. I miss having no responsibilities, and living like we are on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Oh to be on vacation forever.

And don't ya know? The sun comes out for the DeBackers. High 70's the entire time we were there and it's been cold ever since we came home!

It's almost to the point of embarrassment already...that we are always the first people in Disney parking lots. Every year..every park....we don't even pay for parking because we are so early the parking lot attendants haven't even arrived yet.

Ah yes....the best day of them all....Magic Kingdom morning. It's our second home ya know. We love, and live for that place. And you must have breakfast in the castle. The experience is like no other...the food is outstanding and of course, there is that treasured one-on-one time with the princesses.

A new arrival at Magic Kingdom: the fairies from the Tinker Bell movies. They were probably one of the biggest highlights. Amazing. The time they took with the girls just affirmed even more my reasons of why we love Disney so much.

Look at these beautiful girls...how can I not try and give them the world? So blessed to have them be my world.

I'm not really that into crowds. I'll take Disney all to myself, thank you very much!

Heading home didn't hurt so much, knowing our last stop was in Atlanta for the best "naked dogs" and "chili cheese dogs with slaw" you'll ever eat in your entire life;

Oh how happy we were..and are. We always will be. My family rocks! What an unforgettable week!
