Naples and Disney Trip



We went to Florida Feb. 14th-21st. Despite the cold Florida temps. we had an amzing time. I voted this our best vacation EVER-even better than our European travels...yep I said it. We flew into Ft. Myers on Sunday to visit with Kyle's very loved grandparents in Naples. We visited with them Sunday and Monday. To back track briefly...our flights went well. We had a short layoever in Atlanta. Since Bex is "2" we were forced to buy him his own seat-although he sat on my lap most of the time. We left the house around 4:30 am on Sunday and I just swept Bex out of bed in his P.J.'s and packed his clothes. Well, on the first leg of our flight I changed him into his "day clothing" and almost immediately after he had a HUGE blowout. He is "2"...he never had blowouts anymore. It was disgusting. Getting him cleaned up was a challenge in such a confined place and it was stinky. He had to go back into his P.J.'s. Thank goodness I didn't get him dressed before we left the house because I wouldn't have had anything to change him back into. Beckett also didn't want to sit in his seat-he flat out refused and fortunately the flight attendants didn't really care (on the way home was a different story though-will get to that later).

We had a great visit with Dale and June. They remind me of an older version of Kyle and I. They are 90'ish and still quite active. June has friends over to play Wii bowling pretty regularly-how great it that???? Kyle really adores his grandparents. They lived where he grew up until he was 15 or so and then moved to Floriday permanently. He tries his best to visit once a year. I am always worried about the kids ramsacking their home but they did really well. The Wii helped a lot. Late Monday afternoon, we took off for Orlando. Everyone was really excited. This was the kids' first trip to Disney. We decided to go all out and stay at one of the Disney Resorts and take advantage of the character dinners and everything else "Disney". We arrived safe and sound to a very small hotel room but were ready to start out at Epcot on Tues. morning.
