Trip to Grandpa's...

We made a short trip to South Carolina to see my father in law.  After lunch, we ended up at this super cool park (Fall's Park in Greensville, SC) and I am so glad the weather cooperated so we could take a few pics.  I absolutely love our little adventures :)


Ady being her sweet self :)

Disney Spring Break 2015

Ya'll....Disney is the most magical place on Earth.  If you haven't gone, GO NOW!  We took our girls on their first trip back in January 2014 (Back when I was a slacker and not blogging).  It was a short trip where we just went to Magic Kingdom for two days, but it was amazing nonetheless.  As soon as we got home, we immediately started planning our next trip and we wanted it to be a BIG one!

When I first started planning, I was trying to stick to a tight budget, but then I just threw my hands up and literally said, "Screw it!".  If we were going to do this, we were going to do it all!  I wanted the character meals, the make overs....I wanted it all!  Besides, we would be celebrating Ally's 9th birthday while we were there.  Instead of walking you through my planning process AKA where I changed our trip around a million times, I will just share what we did that day and some pics :)

Pre Trip: Gotta Get The Nails Done!


My Little Mermaid


Ady's Frozen


Ally's Tangled


March 26th: The Drive Down

We were not supposed to leave until the evening of the 26th, but we decided to surprise the girls and just get up like we were going to school and instead head south!  They were super surprised and excited since they didn't have to go to school that day LOL

We made a stop in Savannah (which just happens to be our family's favorite place to visit) to break things up a bit.  Soaked in the scenery and even had lunch at Lady and Sons!



Welcome to Florida!!

Day 2: Epcot

Lunch -- Electric Umbrella: The French Dip burger is the BOMB!!
