Family Vacation 2010; Florida 2.0

We must not be very creative in our vacationing because like last year, we went to Florida again this year to do Disney World, among other things. Actually, it's even worse than that. This is our fourth year in a row going to either Disneyland or Disney World.

We weren't planning on doing the same thing this year but when we heard about the "Give a Day, Get a Day" promotion Disney was offering we couldn't pass up free tickets to Disney World.

It was a little different this time; we went with my cousin Summer and her family and because it was warmer than last year (we went in March) we got to hit the beach for a day.

Overall this was a pretty cheap trip. With the free tickets and since we fly free, all we had to worry about was lodging and a car rental. We actually got a really good rate on a rental car and thanks to Summer's in-laws we stayed for virtually nothing in their time share. I think the parents were all a bit worried on how fitting 10 people (SIX boys and four adults) in a two bedroom condo would turn out, but it was great. The boys loved spending time together and we got about as much sleep as we could have hoped for.

We had a great day at Disney World except for the fact that we almost melted. It was SO hot and humid but the boys did great. Carter was a dream; I couldn't have asked for a better baby.

We had a great day at Cocoa Beach as well. The weather was perfect for the beach. The older boys loved playing in the ocean, but Carter wasn't quite sure of the water.


It was a great trip and since we've been home, the boys have been asking several times a day when are we going back. In fact, that started before we even left for the airport in Orlando. Landen even went as far as to suggest Phil should get a job in Florida so we could live there.
