Family come to visit

The last two weeks Mum, Dad and Chloe came to see Chris and I. We all had loads of fun, for the first 4 days they were here we headed down to Key West. Dad had hired a HUMMER, oh yes i love hummers. It was sooooo huge, we even had dvd screens in the back of the chairs. On the way down we stopped at the Everglades and went out on a airboat to see the crocos!!! We saw a few and it was cool to glide over the water.


After we walked around the park and saw the crocos up close.
We spent the rest of the afternoon driving down to the keys, it was beauitful. Just islands after islands with bridges running over them. We arrived in evening and checked in to this beauitful suites. They were amazing, was comfortable.

The next morning we rented bikes for two days we were there and we all went exploring, Key West is soooo pretty. The sea is sooo blue and sky was sooo blue. Felt so relaxed and chilled out.


We went to the smallest bar in the world and i had a drink out of a coconut, hummm it was a bit strong!!!!!!!!!

Family come to visit.....................................

We spent the afternoon cylcing around the town and taking in the sights, we went to Ernest Hemmingways house which is beauitful and we climbed Key West lighthouse the views were lovely.

Yet again I hated climbing the stairs but i made it!!!! yeah. In the evening we went out on a Sunset snockel cruise. It was amazing.

Chris and I had brought underwater camera cases so we tested them out and got some cool pictures.
Watching the sun go down while we cruised back in to port was something else, Sunsets are amazing in Florida and being in the southest most point in Florida the sunset was even better.

We all loved our bikes, made it sooo easy to get around town. The second day we cylced to a nearby beach and spent the day there. We hired kyates and Chris and I raced Mum and Chloe along the shore. It was great to be out on the water soaking up the sun.

The collage above with the picture bottom right is a picture of our suite we stayed in sooo nice.
We didnt want to leave Key West, but on the 4th day we travelled back to Orlando and on the way we stopped at Maimi. We drove along South Beach where all the resturants are and stopped and had lunch and dipped our toes in the sea.


So back in Orlando we did DISNEY!!!!! One morning we went to Tyhoon Layoon, it was quiet so we did the rides really quickly. Love this water park as it is soooo relaxing. I fell asleep and chris built a Corna Castle.


Family come to Visit..........

We went to Animal Kingdom on one of our days off, we got their early and we saw sooo many animals.

Chloe hadnt been on Expedtion Everest so we went on it twice hehe. soo good. We watched the parade.
For dinner we went to the Animal Kingom Lodge and went to Boma which was lovely, very yummy steaks. We watched the animals in the lodge, remembered when we stayed there which was soo good.
On our second day off we played crazy golf and then headed to universal to do some shopping and have dinner at Nascar resturant, Yummy.

In the evening we headed to MGM to Watch Fanstamic, was is always a good feel good show and all hadnt watched it was a long time. Good way to finish the day.

On our last day off we went to Epcot and show Mum the flower and garden festival, soo pretty with all the flowers. We walked around the world taking in the sights rather than taking in the drink!!!!!! hehe

Love all the flowers statues soo good.


Me, Chris and Dad had a go on the the segways, so strange!!! As part of the festival their is a butterfly garden, so pretty. Chris took some lovely pictures.


Oh and a few more pictures of the HUMMER!!! Sooo good to have family here and see more of Florida. Sad to see them go, but we all had fun. xxxxxxxxxxxx

Soaking up Disney!!

Between friends and family coming out, Chris and I had the same days off we went to one of the Disney resorts for the afternoon and watch the magic kingdom fireworks in the evening. We had a lovely dinner and spent the evening chilling out on the hamkets on the beach, what more could you ask for. We watched the sun go down over the wedding chapel and then Wishes started on the castle. It was amazing to see them from a distance.


The next day we headed to MGM and went on Tower of Terror and Rocknroller coaster which i love. We had lunch in the Sci Fi Resturant which is themed on a drive in movie, so you sit a down car and have a burger while old films and shown on the big scence. It feels like it is night time. soo cool.

We finished off the evening by watching Four for a Dollar which Chirs loves. We are very lucky to have these parks on our door step. Good couple of days off
