Spring Break 2019

Spring Break 2019 did not disappoint! We set out on Friday after school and spent the night in Little Rock at mom and Marty's. Early Saturday we hit the road to Panama City Beach. I was a little concerned about my sweet Haitian Sensation, Sam because he cannot stand being in the car for very long. Thankfully, he was a trooper! PCB did not disappoint! The weather could have been a little warmer but this was the first time London and Sam have been to the beach with all of us. We had taken them in Haiti when they were little but they don't really remember it and they were terrified! They loved playing in the sand and braving the cool water of the ocean but they all especially enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub!

 After a couple of days in PCB, we were off to Orlando! We got a great deal on an Airbnb at Paradise Palms Resort in Orlando. I would definitely stay there again! It was a 5 bedroom with a private pool and the resort had tons of amenities! We had a blast! Tuesday was Disney Day. I was probably more excited than the kids! We had taken the older kids but it was a first for the littles. Mayah is still young enough that seeing her eyes light up with the characters made the entire trip worth it!  We spent the entire day riding rides, watching the parades and just enjoying our time together. There is something about Disney World that just makes you happy! It was so great to have Kelcie and Blake fly down from Omaha and spend the week with us in Orlando as well. All the chicks were in the nest and my momma heart was so full!

We spent Wednesday hanging out at the resort swimming and seeing our longtime friends Kim and Laurie! We took Kelcie and Blake to the airport Thursday morning :( and on the way back home stopped and spent the day in St. Augustine. This was my first time there and lets just say my history loving self fell in love! Like ready to pack up and move there love it! It was a quaint historical town with the beach! Two of my favorite things!

Family vacations are so important. The memories that we made on this trip will last a lifetime. Make saving for them a priority! My family grew up taking vacations and I want to pass my love of travel on to my kids! Maybe one day I'll win the lottery so I can travel all of the time. I guess I better buy a ticket :)
