Florida..

It's been awhile..with all the craziness of Spring(yay!) and also just the nuttiness of life with two kidlings, we have forsaken our family blog. Hopefully, as the summer approaches and we have a little more time on our hands, Jim and I will get back to being more avid posters.
The day after Griffin's birthday party, we headed down to Florida for a visit with my mom and also a side-trip to Disney. All in the all, despite an hour on the runway and a rather squirmy Griffin, the trip down was pretty good but the ride home was awesome. The plane ride back to the North was so early that the boys wore their pj's and pretty much snoozed through the whole flight. A big shout out of thanks to Poppy who drove us back and forth from Philly airport during our travels! One of the coolest things happened on our way home- we got to see one of the last Space Shuttle launches out of our plane window- sooo cool (I think Jim almost soiled himself with geekish excitement!)
Disney was better than we had hoped- we stayed in a Disney hotel so we got to get into the park an hour early (before the riff-raff, heh heh) and it works for our early bird tendencies as we would hit the park by 7am, and by the time it would get a little crowded, meaning the lines were getting longer, Griffin was napping and Jim and I would just take turns going on rides with Riley. We'd be back to the hotel before the crowds and the Florida sun got too intense and we'd have lunch, a swim and naps before heading off to another park in the early evening for more rides and dinner. We cracked the seal on Disney a bit earlier then we had planned so now when we mention Grandma's house in Florida, Riley associates it with Mickey Mouse, ha ha. Eh, I guess there's worse things to be thought synonymously with, right?
On to the pics...
