Spring Break Memories

2 Birthdays, 4 nights at the beach, 3 nights in Orlando, 2 theme parks, 37+ hours in the car, 1 great Spring Break!

Day 1 was a pleasant day on the beach.  Sunny but cool weather, crystal clear but freezing water, too many spring breakers.  We'll get back to this in the summer...

Day 1 - At the Beach

Day 2 was Griffin's birthday with more perfect weather.  We had lunch at Margaritaville and secured the boat booth, and then enjoyed presents and a cookie cake out on the porch.  Can't get much better than that.

Day 2 - Griffin's 3rd Birthday

Day 3 we traveled to Orlando, getting in early enough to go eat at Downtown Disney.

Day 3 - On to Disney

Day 4 we did Disney World Magic Kingdom.  Quite a long day but everyone had a great time.  Griffin doesn't like crowds and lines but loves teacups, flying elephants, merry-go-rounds, etc...  Sawyer rode his first roller-coaster (Big Thunder Mountain) without even a flinch.  Harrison steered clear of the roller coasters but tried to steer into every gift shop.

Day 4 - Disney World

Day 5 was Sawyer's Birthday.  We did birthday donuts and presents in the morning (had to save the cake for later with the full day planned in Orlando) and then onto Universal Studios Island of Adventure to visit Harry Potter World.  It was so crowded, once we finally reached the entrance to the Harry Potter area, we were denied entry and given a 'fast-pass' to come back in 5 hours.  Still we had plenty of fun and didn't even have time to see but half the park until it was too light to ride any rides.

Day 6 we went back to the beach.  One last relaxing evening on the beach to bring the trip to an end.
