Vero Beach Resort

Last minute on Friday, we booked two nights at Disney's Vacation Club Vero Beach Resort, it is about 2 hours away on the Alanitic Coast. It was amazing, we couldnt of asked for nicer weather. We headed down there late on Friday evening. Our room was amazing, over looking the ocean. You could hear the waves breaking. We unpacked then went for a wonder around the resort, we made reservations at Sonya's, five star resturant!! Then we had a couple of drinks in the bar. Our meal was very yummy and felt very full after. We went back to our room and sat on the balconcy and listened to the ocean, and the sky was soooo clear, the stars were sooo bright it was beauitful.

We woke up pretty early (well i did) hehe, weather was lovely. There was some morning surfers catching the waves. Was good to blow the cobb webbs away again!!
We went down for breakfast and then went for a walk along the beach. Good way to start the day, oh i loved it!! Jus needed Tessa running along side us (she would loved it) Water was cold but refreshing. For the rest of the day we chilled out on the beach, soaking up the sun. Will get that tan back!!! hehe


The next morning we checked out, Chris with the bags!!!!!!!! Then we rented some bikes and went on an adverture. It was soo hot, we headed along the sidewalk, some of the houses were amazing. Our map took us to the Indian River, which was beauitful. Lots of boats enjoying the weather. I finally got some exerice!!!! will have to keep it up!!
After our adverture we drove in Vero town and checked out the beach and had some lunch. It is a very quiet town with lots of locals not very touristy which was nice.


We didnt want to go home straight away so drove to Coco Beach, we saw the Disney cruise ship in the distance, oh i want to go!! We sat on the beach for a bit watching everyone. Then we headed to Ron Johns Surf Shop (bet your jealous Hockless's) hehe. Brought a really cute bag and Chris brought some flip flops and a Gone Surfing Sign.

I jus wore White with these red and white snow shoes and a red hat and gloves!! We all had sashes. Chris and some of he other lads went as the Beatles, they looked brilliant. After the normal gartherings at the commons we all headed to Coconut Willies!!!!! This ramdon place, owned by british place where they place karato and have cheap drinks. But it was a real laugh as we all havent been out together for a long time. Everyone made brilliant effort, was sooo funny. I was pretty drunk by the end of it!!! hehe!!!

Last Friday, Chris and I treated oursleves to a night at the top Disney resort... Animal Kingdom Lodge. WOW it was amazing. The theme is africa and the resort is set on a Savannah which your room over looks, so when you wake up in the morning you can sit out on your balcony and watch all the animals. We were lucky and had a fanastic view, it was sooo relaxing. Our room was lovely, I didnt want to leave.

The view from our room!!! wow!!! The pool area was brilliant too, we had good weather so we laid out in the sun for the afternoon, they had spa hot tubs!!! sooo good!!! and they were open to late so after dinner Chris and I headed back to the hot tub after dinner until Midnight!! Under the stars!


There is lots of different areas to the lodge, you can walk out to the middle of the Savannah so you can get up close to the animals, there is area where they have a fire at night and you can sit around in rocking chairs, Chris loved this hehe!!! Sunset room where you can sort of watch the sun go down. The lobby is self is huge with the big glass window over looking the Savannah. Felt very lucky to be able to stay here!.

Trip to St Augustine

Last weekend Chris and I headed up the East coast to St Augustine to get away for a couple of days. We went to the beach first on the friday, so nice to feel the sea air again and blow again the cobb webs. Chris and I sat in the sun watching the surfers and the guys fishing. Then we walked along the beach and dipped our feet in the water, very cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After we checked in to our hotel and then went to the St Augustine Light house and climbed the 219 steps to the top. I was very proud, there was a momment I thought will i make it!!!!!! But once we got to the top it was worth it, the views were amazing. You could see across to the main town and then out to sea. Really felt relaxed, love the oldest and all the history.

We were sooo lucky with the weather, considering it was December!!!!!

St Augustine...............

Some of the view from the Lighthouse below, aswell the grounds with the pretty trees and buildings, true America.

We went back to the hotel to get changed and then head in to the main historic city, our hotel was right in the waters edge by the bridge that takes you in to the city. So we walked over the bridge, was sooo pretty, the whole city was covered in white lights. We wondered around for a bit and found this cute resturant with a court yard to sit out in . We lovely, sat listening to music while we eat a very yummy dinner, lots of seafood. Very romantic, felt like we were on holiday.

The next day we headed back in to the city for a day of exploring, we first went for breakfast in this little bakery, yummy!!!! Then the best bit, we had a horse and carriage tour of the city, soooo good. We sat back in the sun, trotting round the city, learning all the history. The buildings were soo pretty, the artichure was amazing for how old it was. We saw the oldest house in the USA.
The gates to the city and apartly a little girls (ghost) sits on top of these gates guarding the city for her father!!! Spoky!!!
Loved it so much, all the houses with their balconies and rocking chairs, Chris wants a rocking chair!! hehe

St Augustine..........

Some more of the different buildings around the town.

Once the tour was finished we walked round the old Fort, that once was invaided by the British, we cant leave anything along!!! hehe. We weather was sooo beauitful, we sat up on to of the fort and waited for the peeps to set off the canon. So loud.

We laided out on edge of the Fort, soaking up the sun, was sooo relaxing, didnt want to leave. We watched all the boats out in the water. Dad you would have loved it.

For the rest of the afternoon we wondered round the city, eating ice cream such a messy boy hehe. We found a little bar, where we tried the own brewed beer, was pretty good. For dinner was eat at a really pretty place and sat out in the garden. Again had seafood cant get enough of it.
In the evening we went a Ghost walking tour, hummm was a bit scarey, esp the Fort at night!!!!!!! We never saw anything though. Chris and I was soo tried by the end of the day!!!!Had the best two days, good way to end 2006. Next day ended back to Orlando for Work (news year eve)!!!!!!!
