Home, is where Florida is.

Since I only post main events that occur in our lives, I feel like I JUST posted about Florida since we had our "bonus" trip last August. But I don't care. I love Florida. It's the highlight of my year. Better then Christmas Day and better then "the lodge." (although the lodge is a close second)



We go every January, pretty much do the same things, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. It's where our hearts are. It's where we live fancy free and where the DeBackers are most happy.


We had a wonderful 12 days. Started out in Lakeland again where my parents are working at a camp. Fed some goats, did some swimming and played putt-putt. Then it was off to the Kissimmee area where we stayed in our gorgeous HUGE condo with pools galore.

The weather was perfect, (it always is for the DeBackers) and the pools and Disney parks were empty.

Just the way I like it.

We took two days and went to all four Disney parks. We also got invited to Cinderella Castle for breakfast on our second park day.

On Magic Kingdom day we were the first on the monorail, first in the ticket taking line and FIRST up to the castle for breakfast. And let me just say, this was not our first year being first.

Usually we are ALWAYS first.

Take a look at our incredible time!!

Now, onto Kissimmee where we checked into Vacation Village. It was spectacular.

(DisneyQuest..first time. Fun as all get out. Spent about 10 hours playing video games...)
















I love this next one...I love it because of Mylie. She has on a headband "hippie" style and her gum is hanging out of her mouth so it looks like she's smokin a doob...




(The Varsity..check out the onion rings...burp..)








I am blessed beyond words....4 perfect, beautiful girls and a fantastic husband who tells me daily he lives for us. I need nothing else in life.



As far as Florida goes? We'll be back.
