Well, another year, another Spring Break come and gone. Where does the time go? This was our first trip, as a family, by ourselves, since Braxton was 8 months old. We are either going with family or friends. It was strange for Braxton to not have any other kids to play with. But, we had a great time. We stayed in a very nice resort just outside of Orlando, about 20 minutes away from all of the parks. Our place was a 3 bedroom townhouse with a full kitchen, family room, study and 3 pools, plus a waterpark. We spent two days at the waterpark and 2 days doing theme parks.

The first park we went to was Sea World. I haven't been there since I was young and it's changed a lot. They now have roller coaster rides there and more animal shows. It was a fun day. We of course went to the "Magic Kingdom". (I'm from the West coast, and DisneyLand is over there so it's been hard for me to not call it Disney Land.) Anyway, we were there from 9am until almost midnight! The funny thing is, we added up all of the rides we went on and it only came up to about 12! That took ALL DAY LONG! Hailey had a great time on the rides, which we were pleasantly surprised she could do everything except the big rollercoasters. Her favorite was "It's a Small World".

Braxton had gotten sunburned the day before and wasn't at his "best" so pretty much complained the entire day! Who complains about going on rollercoasters. We had to make him go. But when we got home he was glad we did.

It was a nice relaxing vacation, very much needed after the month we've had.
