So Far Behind!

Since all of the kids are sleeping right now (Emily, Kyla and Lilly went to a slumber party last night-Tristin is taking his normal nap) I thought I would catch up on my blogging.

Vacation was WONDERFUL!!!! We went with Mike and Sharon. Most of you know that Mike was my sister's husband before she passed away and Sharon is his new wife. This is our 3rd vacation together and our first without kids. I love my little girl, but a week away was just what the doctor ordered. (Even tho I did get sick the 2nd day). Orlando isn't Hawaii but we had a blast anyway, even tho Mike was a little bitter about the whole deal.

We spent the first day of vacation (9 AM Sat. to 3 AM Sun.) on the road and spend the night in Jacksonville, FL. This enabled us to spend about 7 hours Sunday in St. Augustine so we could go to the World Golf Hall of Fame before heading to Orlando.

Our first full day in Orlando we spent at Epcot. We had been before with the older girls 10 years ago but they didn't want to go to thru the countries that are at the back at the park. As adults, we loved it! We started in Mexico and worked our way thru each country sampling most all of the food. There were a few we weren't interested in but over all it was YUMMY!

The next morning, the guys got up and went golfing at the resort. Our building was right by the golf course and by the time Sharon and I were ready, the guys were passing by and picked us up to ride the last 11 holes or so. The course was beautiful.

Delmar's trip thru the desert: An adult Orlando vacation just wouldn't be complete without a drip to Downtown Disney and all of the clubs. We were able to get free tickets from the guy we got our Epcot tickets from. Good thing, 'cause we decided "clubbing" isn't for us. We did end up at a club called 8 Track. They played music from the 70s, we stayed there for a couple of hours and just watched people. Our final trip was to Cocoa Beach. We first stopped at Ron Jon's Surf Shop to get the guys a boogie board to ride the waves on. That was INTERESTING to watch :)

That's Delmar in the middle and Mike's head just to the left:

Could have posted the other picture of Mike & Delmar but it was a bit graphic!

Since we pushed so hard to get down there, we decided to take it easy coming home and drove to Nashville the first night only leaving 6 hours for the 2nd day. Much more relaxing! But before we left, we were able to spend a nice couple of hours in pool with no kids in it. NICE!!!!

Vacation is always so nice but getting home is good too. We were excited to see Emily, who according to my mother, was a perfect angel the whole time we were gone.

Well, I started this post at about 2:45 this afternoon and as I complete it, it is 7:10. And all I got thru was vacation!
