My Birthday Trip to Florida

We just finished such a fun trip back to Orlando where we got to stay with the Cottle’s. Aka; our Florida Family, for 3 nights. While I really missed Disney World, the highlight of our trip was definitely our time with friends and the Cottle’s! 

We got to spend a lot of time with Rachel and 2-year old Devin! After breakfast at Port Orleans with Brad before he went to work, we did a little Magic Kingdom day on Friday where we rode a few rides and had lunch at Skipper’s Canteen, which is where Ben worked for a couple years before we moved to Las Vegas in August. He got to see lots of friendly faces who came out to say hi. 

I’m pretty sad though, that our time with Jaime and Alana and Dan was cut short, but I’m so glad to have at least seen them for lunch and a walk through the world showcase on my birthday. Seeing Alana get bigger and older makes me so sad that I’m so far away from them.

Casie and Dave gave us a ride to the airport. It was a relief being reunited with my camera gear that I left behind in August. They came up with the idea of eating at Sweet Tomatoes for lunch, which we ended up loving and ate WAY too much of. That was pretty consistent for our trip though. We sure ate a lot!

At the end of the trip I felt a bit guilty for doing so much after being on bed rest for so long and being told to continue to take it easy. We got permission from the doctor for the short trip, but we might take it a bit slower the next couple months. I’m so scarred how the trip could have effected you. Thankfully I can consistently feel you moving throughout the day and that gives me such peace of mind. Maybe instead of our planned Europe trip, we can stay home for thanksgiving or go visit family in Utah.
