Our Florida holiday

Just thought i would share some photo's of our holiday to Florida.We had a fantastic time very tiring was in bed some nights as early as 8.30pm & it's the only holiday i have been on when i never had as much as one alcoholic drink.We saw loads of characters & got a few autographs & a big kiss from mickey.As soon as i saw the castle i burst into tears as i couldn't believe i was really there then i seen my very first parade & started crying yet again it just made you feel like you were a little girl again & you were seeing everyone that you have only ever read about.We went to discovery cove for the day to swim with the dolphins & it was amazing your in the park from about 8.00 in the morning & it closes at 6.00 at night you get breakfast & dinner & all snacks & drinks all day.The swim lasted about 1/2 an hour our dolphin was called Ocki & he was beautiful we all got a kiss from him & it's one of the best things i have ever done in my life & want to do it again.Our hotel was lovely basic but clean but we only stayed in it to sleep.I did a few things which i never thought i would ever do went on Everest roller coaster,the log flumes,& the Popeye which is a big tub that takes you down the rapids but no one told me you get wet on it OK so i knew you get a little bit wet but NO we got absolutely soaked from head to toe it was fun but i wished i had taken a change of clothes with me as it was the last ride we done that day & the sun had disappeared & we had to travel home sodden wet as you can see in the photo.Apart from doing the parks we did some shopping (craft shopping for me) he he and boy did i spend went to Michael's twice & walmart once spent quite a bit of money on craft stuff i still haven't got round to unpacking it yet as i haven't a clue where I'm going to put it all he he.Will we ever go back again to right we will but it wont be a yearly thing as i couldn't afford a lot of craft spending money every year.Oh & the weather it was 85-93 degrees every day very hot but good.Once i unload my craft stash i will take photo's and show you all.So that's it for now.

WOOHOO




Only 5 more sleeps till we go on our once in a life time trip to Florida.Cant believe I'm really going it's been a bit of a struggle at times money wise (More so the price of the parks) But never mind we got there in the end.Got our flight tickets on Saturday all i have to do now is pack but i will do that during the week as charlie has told me there's football on Tuesday & Wednesday night so that will give me something to do.Had a good weekend Lesley & Blair moved into their 3 bed roomed house on Friday so i helped with that then on Saturday went to the pub it was karaoke but it was really good i even got up to sing with Debbie we sang stupid cupid we did put down another song but never got to sing that.Debbie & Lesley love karaoke & they love singing paradise by the dashboard light (Meat loaf) Debbie sung a couple on her own as did Lesley but i NEVER he he.Right now I'm feeling really good after going through a bit of a rough time cant wait to go craft shopping in Florida.
