Florida Vacation

Pete, Lilly, and I went to Florida last week. It was fabulous! We stayed in the Orlando area for three nights and then went to the east side of FL for two nights. One of our good friend's parents let us stay in their condo in Melbourne, FL and it was right on the beach...so great! Since my wonderful younger sister, Erin, works at Disney World, we were able to go there for a day. My brother, Timothy, sister-in-law Tanya, their girls (Alex, Sophie, Mabel), my mom, and two of the New York Jackson girls (Mercy and Fiona) also joined us in FL. The best part of the trip, aside from seeing my family, was the weather- sunny and in the 80s almost every day (it rained once, but we were at the luau and we were covered anyway). Here are some pictures of our trip- I went a little crazy and took over 100 pictures for the five days we were there, but I'm only posting a few of those (okay, a little more than a few).

the dumbo ride (i didn't want to take lilly on this, thinking that she'd cry the whole time, but the only time she cried was at the end when the ride stopped!)
