Denise planned to go to Tammy's house in Florida for Tammy's week vacation from work so I jumped on the bandwagon. The flights were packed so I ended up taking a red eye.....so I was exhausted when I got there. It was such a fun time just relaxing and seeing the Orlando area. Tammy was a great hostess and has a nice house in Minnealo. More than anything it's just nice to not have to worry about cooking, cleaning, homework, scouts, fighting, tantrums, etc. What a great vacation with my favorite cousins!

| I'm not usually a huge fan of donuts but I'm sure these contributed to the 2 lbs. I gained while at Tammys. The place is famous and is close to Tammy's house. |
 |
| Still in my clothes from the red eye so I'm looking a little rough. The jelly filled was my favorite but I'd eat any of them again. |
 |
| Tammy has a nice enclosed pool |
 |
| Getting a pedicure with Tam |
 |
| The toes! |
 |
| Lunch was Frozen Yogurt |
 |
| After picking up Denise from the airport, we went to Longhorn's for steak....yummy! |
 |
| John talking away.....ha ha. He was a good sport about letting us invade his home. He made the best best best spaghetti carbonara. I wish I would have taken a picture of it. I have in on my menu for this week and can't wait to make it. |
 |
| We got park hoppers for one day and busted through 3 parks.....just riding the best rides at each one. This is on the safari at the Wild Animal Kingdom. |
 |
| Alligators |
 |
| Last time I was here I didn't see nearly as many animals up close. |
 |
| How would you like to carry those mamas around? |
 |
| I'm posing in front of the Expedition Everest Ride. It is a great ride but we all got super sick on it. I thought I was going to pass out I was so dizzy and pukey. I don't know what the problem is.....guess we are getting old! |
 |
| Treat stop at Magic Kingdom |
 |
| Small problem with Tammy's shoe. They ripped and so she had to tape them. Thank goodness because I don't know how she was going to walk out of there! |
 |
| Hollywood Studios which is home of my all time favorite ride: THE TOWER OF TERROR |
 |
| Decided to go to a new beach and used my phone for navigation. It was near Tampa and I'm telling you, I'm going back there someday! |
 |
| It's called Clearwater beach and it was sugar sand, super fine, and beautiful. |
 |
| It was snowing at home while I was enjoying this view |
 |
| Always happy at the beach |
 |
| Pier 60. Venders set up here 2 hours before sunset to sell things. They have music, face painting, hair braiding, food, etc. |
 |
| The BEST Margarita pizza. Look at the fresh mozzarella. |
 |
| I know it looks burned but it was just on the edges and it was so delicious. This one was a Sicilian and it had a thick crust with lost of sauce and cheese. |
 |
| I know I look like a nerd in my pj's out in Tammy's backyard but I had to go see my friends "The Cranes" who came to visit every day. They were funny duffers. Tammy says to be nice to them because they are endangered. |
 |
| If you ever call Tammy and leave her a message, she will call you back from this spot....chilin by her pool. |
 |
| Catching some rays before I have to catch my plane. |
 |
| Shooting the squirrels |
 |
| Thanks Tammy and Denise for a fun time in Florida! |
