Florida- go gators!

Florida trip!!!! Ted ended his fall busy time at work and I needed to celebrate (lucky how my birthday coincided with it), so we went to visit Jon and Kristie in Florida for 5 days!!! We left Drew home and I almost had a nervous breakdown leading up to it, but once we were gone I was just fine. It was a well needed break and Drew did just fine here at home (THANKS to all the family who helped). Here are some of the highlights of the trip:
-We went to a University of Florida game, which was crazy! There were 90,000 people there and 90% of them were all decked out in UF gator attire. The crowd was so loud my ears were ringing. It was a close game, so that made it even more exciting.

- We saw quite a bit of gators. It is crazy that they really just live there without fences or anything. We some huge ones at a place called Plains Prairie (I think it is a national park).
-We spent 2 days at Disney World! It was a lot of fun, that place is huge. We even had a "magic moment" where we magically opened the doors to a show- it was actually quite humorous. I would see people with their babies and miss Drew a ton, but then I would think about how nice to not have him there tired and fussy. Funny how it is a great break but you think about him the whole time. Kristie and Jon were so nice to put up with us talking about him.

-The biggest highlight was hanging out with Jon and Kristie for 5 days!!! They were such good hosts and we had the time of our lives. Thanks for making it so fun!

Looks like you had tons of fun and well deserved. You need breaks from time to time.
