We took our first family vacation (with an outside baby, that is), to Florida this month! Originally, we had only planned to visit and stay with Justin's parents at their condo in Venice. But Justin decided that he wanted to take the kids to Disney for a night. I actually thought he was nuts, but I'm so glad he pushed for it. We had SO.MUCH.FUN and decided to stay an extra night. It was super chilly but we were still happy to be missing the "Polar Vortex" up North.
To see Gwen's excitement over seeing the castle and meeting Ariel and Belle in person, was just something Justin and I will never forget. It really was magical, as cliche as that sounds. I'm writing this post almost a month later and her face still completely lights up when she talks about it and completely gushes about how she met Ariel and sat on her lap(!!!!).
First stop was Downtown Disney for lunch:
That night we had dinner at the "Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue". This was pretty cool for me because I remember going to this dinner show the last time I went to Disney. I was probably only a few years older than Gwen! We all had a great time.
After dinner we decided to walk around and explore our hotel the Wilderness Lodge and we decided to get caricatures done of the kiddos! We're so happy with how they came out. Gwen gave everyone a show while she was sitting for her drawing :)
The next morning we were up early for the opening of the Magic Kingdom!
