Florida Vacation!!

It was a cold 32 degrees here when Pete and I left for our vacation. We were on the 6:20 a.m. flight out of Islip headed to sunny Orlando!! When we touched down in Florida, it was about 8:50 a.m. - a little overcast, but by the time we got our car, the sun had come out and it was shorts weather!!! We had the most amazing time together! We did think about the kids, often, and felt somewhat guilty that we were in Disney and they were home. We are now planning a trip this coming May or August to go back down to enjoy it all 'together'. I was able to see my brother, Trisha and of course, the girls!! Pete and I enjoyed spending time at our beautiful hotel, downtown Disney, City Walk and of course the highlight, Universal. That evening, 2/14, in Universal, we celebrated Mardi Gras. The show was amazing!! There were the most magnificent floats and beads were flying!!! Between my brother and Pete catching the most, I was draped in a sea of beads!! Trisha was bartending right next to us so as you can imagine, we had a very good night!!! Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons put on a great concert and we all danced and sang!! But as they say, all good things must come to an end....sadly, we left on Sunday to return home. We went from 80 degrees back to the cold NY weather...Thanks Pete for such a great time! I just loved spending time with you!!! And again, a special thanks to Mom and Dad for watching the boys for us...we could not have done it without you!!!
