About our vacation

I know we have been home for a little over a week now since our vacation. But I wanted to let you know how it went. We left sunday evening after I got off work and got to Orlando around ten o'clock monday. The room wasn't going to be ready until three so we layed out at the pool most of our wait. Which this is the day we got a little burnt. Imagine that the first day in Florida! haha. We thought we could get our room a little early...but didn't:( We were tired so we cleaned up, ate at bubba gumps ( they had awesome fish and chips), walked around downtown Universal, and then went to bed. Tuesday we went to Discovery Cove. I think this is one of the neatest places I have ever been. It was sooo relaxing!! We got to swim with sting rays, snorkel with all kinds of fish, hold and feed birds, eat, and be with the DOLPHINS! I could go there almost everyday. Wednesday we stayed at the hotel pool, went to downtown Disney (woo hoo Disney...we love that place), and ate at Ohana. Ohana is in the disney polynesian resort. I think that is one of our favorite resorts....we love the tropical feel! Ohana had GREAT food and such a fun atmosphere. I had tried to make reservations and at the last minute got us in. I am so glad we were able to get in and the best thing is that after we ate the fireworks went off. We had a perfect view from our table. Ahhh! We were soo full when we left we went to bed when we got back. lol. Thursday we went to Sea World and were only there half the day. We weren't too impressed with Sea World...maybe it just wasn't our thing. Then off to St. Augustine we went. It was a cute little old town. I mean Old because it is the oldest town in the US. We ate at a place on the beach that night and the next day we walked around for a couple hours. After that it was homeward bound:( I wasn't looking forward to going back. I am always like that. Jarod on the other hand doesn't mind it. Overall, it was a great trip that went too fast. They always go too fast though!!

Since we have been back we have been enjoying this great spring weather. Already spraying the weeds and yes Jarod mowed the grass today...already! One day I did add a couple things to our ferns at the front door. I wanted it too look springy! I love doing things like this. I posted some pics for you too see. Not a whole lot....just cut and added some flowers, painted some eggs, and added some rafia. Hope everyone is enjoying this weather!!!

Kirra's 1st Birthday!

This past weekend my best friend had a birthday party for her little girl Kirra. I can't believe she is ONE now and walking!! There were a lot of little kids running around and some family and friends we haven't talked to in a little while. When it came to cake time Kirra did NOT like her cake. I was kinda bummed because I always like it when kids get to dig into their first birthday cake. I think she stuck her finger in the cake once and then wanted out, but she was kinda tired too. So, I don't blame her. I got some pics you can check out!
This week so far I have been working and man am I gald to be off today. I am exhausted from these past two 12 hour shifts. It was a mad house. I hope this weekend is much better. If not I have a week off after this weekend. We are going to Orlando and I am so EXCITED!! It seems like it is taking forever for our vacation week to get here though. Today I am wrapping up on vacation stuff, getting everything ready and making a list of things not to forget. I have been checking the weather and it looks like it is going to be in the mid 70's-80's. Hopefully no rain!! Until next time take care and all of you other bloggers going on vacation I hope you have fun wherever you are going! I will have pics. up when we get back:)
Kirra does not like this birthday business.
