Took the 7:00 am flight on American from RDU to Miami!

Videos from the first park of the day 😊

We got a fairly early start at 8:30 am (I was having vertigo and didn’t feel great, but felt better as the day progressed).

Windley Key Fossil Reef State Park was our first stop of the day (after getting coffe and an Açai bowl from Coco Plum - the drinks and bowl were both really good!).

We enjoyed the park, despite the boys freaking out about the various spiders that were there (partially pictured above ...)

Our next stop was a small beachfront that we walked by for a little bit. Clark and Dad found some cool shells, and a few jellyfish.

After our beach walk, the boys got lunch at a fast food restaurant, and we ate at a small Caribbean themed restaurant.

We then stopped at another beach, which was pretty windy. We also walked alongside the water.

After all that walking, we decided to get a little treat at a local ice cream/popsicle restaurant.

To top the day off, we took a stroll on a beach walk on a boardwalk

We got a late start - finished our game of Clank and watched an episode of Teen Titans Go. We checked out around 10:00 and headed to Orlando!

We stopped by Target to get groceries and Freddie’s to grab lunch, and took them back to the hotel, because our room was ready!We were super excited to get one of the refurbished rooms at Saratoga Springs. It was so nice! We especially love the two Murphy beds for the boys 😊

After Rob “nested” a bit 😊 we headed to Epcot for a quick visit. The boys traded some pins, we went on the Figment Ride and Space Ship Earth, and grabbed a treat from the arts festival

Then it was back to the room to watch the super bowl!

Started the day doing school work (and work-work for me). Clark had his piano lesson at 11:00. We went to Animal Kingdom around 3:00 and did quite a bit in 2 hours! (They closed at 5:00). We went on Pandora Flight of Passage, Everest, \240the Dino Flyers, and the Dinosaur ride and also traded some pins

Dino ride!

The park was empty!

I went back to work for a couple hours when we got back. Then we made dinner in the room and took a late night swim around 8:00 pm!

After their morning Zooms, Rob and the boys walked to Disney Springs and bought cookies and Legos! \240🍪 \240They got the cookies from Gideon‘s, which was decorated very cutely 🥰

The cookies were a 1/2 pound each!

After more school, we took off to Hollywood Studios around 4:00.

We got an early dinner at Rizzos Pizza and from there, Clark and Rob went on Sumugglers Run, while Colin and I went on Toy Story Mania. Colin beat me! 😡😜

Thursday

The boys did their school work (Colin shown below half in a nice dress shirt and half in PJ’s 😜). Rob and I walked to Down Town Disney to get cookies and coffee at Gideon’s (coffee for the morning and the cookie for later 😊).

I worked while Rob took Clark for a swim!

We all went out to Epcot at night. It rained on us as we were leaving!

Video of boys being silly....

So wet!

Friday!

It was a very busy day for me at work. The boys did some school in the morning, and went swimming in the early afternoon. Rob and I went to Epcot for a date night around 6:30 🥰

We got up early to go to Magic Kingdom. We left the room at 8:00 and drove over, and actually got into the park by 8:30! It didn’t open until 9:00, so we made our way over to Splash Mountain and waited in line until it opened at 9:00!

Videos of us getting soaked by the storm 😳

We took off after our second time on Haunted Mansion, since we were soaked through (it was only 10:15 when we left!)

Last day!

Checked out at 10:00 and headed to the airport to catch our 12:00 noon flight on Jet Blue. It was pretty empty and a quick trip home! This was the first time we had flown both to and from Florida altogether. Crazy after all those trips!

When we got home, we were welcomed by a very needy cat and some Valentine’s Day gifts 😊❤️🥰
