Here Comes The Sun...Finally!

After all the cold and rain, we couldn't wait to get to the Florida sunshine! And boy did it feel good! Our first stop in the Sunshine State was Orlando - we stayed at the Hilton Grand Vacation Club Tuscany - we have stayed her before and we loved it. Once again it didn't disappoint - everything was just perfect - the pools, our suite, the play ground and the customer service!

Mom drove down and joined us at the resort. Arabella could hardly contain her excitement for Grammie's arrival. As soon as she woke up from her nap, she wouldn't sit still - Grammie couldn't get her fast enough and she was waiting to go swimming with Grammie! So as soon as Grammie arrived, we ran down as fast as we could to meet her in the parking lot!

She was so excited, she was jumping up and down in the elevator!

We unloaded the car as quick as we could and then we went straight down to the pool! Arabella loved swimming at "nighttime" (as she called it) and the pool was so warm. It was wonderful!




The next day we enjoyed more sunshine! Arabella had a blast at the splash pad and the second pool. Mom, Jay and I took turns in the pool with Arabella - which was great. We even enjoyed lunch poolside - YUM!







My Cinco de Mayo Margarita!


After dinner we decided to head to the playground and then back to the pool for the Dive-in Movie. We watched Beverly Hills Chihuahua - which is a cute movie - for a while Arabella had fun playing on the side of the pool and when she was done, she decided to snuggle with me in a lounge chair. It was so sweet. On the walk back to our room after the movie, we saw a frog jump across the side walk - it was so funny because he just froze, but Arabella wanted him to jump so she decided to give him a little boost. It was so cute to watch her telling him to jump!






We had pretty low key day on Friday - pool time again and while everyone else took a nap, I decided to go to the outlets that were right next store. I managed to score a few deals, which is always nice! That evening, we decided to go to Downtown Disney for dinner. We figured it was a way to get some Disney in without having to go to the parks - I know that sounds horrible, but we just don't think Arabella is old enough yet. Besides, it is so expensive that we really want her to be able to remember it and enjoy it! Downtown Disney was crazy - lots of people and lots going on - be we still had a great dinner at Wolfgang Puck and a fun time walking around. Arabella also broke a geode at the T-Rex store - she loved it and it is beautiful inside.







After Downtown Disney, it was time to hit the hay, but not before eating some goldfish and having a story with Grammie!
