Florida

Kev and I got to have a vacation to Florida last week without the kids!!! It was so great and relaxing. His brother Matt was getting married in the Orlando LDS temple, and my mom and grandma were so great to come and watch ALL of our kids while we took the trip. It was VERY HOT and HUMID......but we braved the weather and didn't let it get in the way of doing everything we wanted. We went to Universal studios, the Kennedy Space center, the beach, walked around the Downtown Disney area shops, and went to a beautiful place called the Bock Tower Gardens. It was an added bonus that we left on our anniversary....so happy eight years to us!!! And congratulations Matt and Kimberly!!!

Gettin' a little astronaut love
In front of the temple...it was so PRETTY!! (and hot outside)
Matt and Kimberly. It started raining....which means MORE humidity
Awesome Bock tower in the gardens
The house at the gardens. They give tours but we didn't go through the house. It was gorgeouse, and only a winter home for the "Bock" family.

I loved our trip and would do it again in a heartbeat....only maybe I would choose a different month to go next time around.

SO MUCH FUN! I was seething with jealousy the whole time you were gone. No, I am really glad you got to go & happy eight years! It's kind of weird to see vacation pics of you guys without kids in them...

Isn't it great to be able to get away from the kids every once in awhile. We had a blast when Kristi came over here to Korea to visit with me for a week. It was nice to break up this year too. I also enjoy every once in awhile going to a restaurant without a kid dropping silverware on the floor. Glad you guys had a great time in Florida.

What a fun way to celebrate your anniversary! I can't believe you and Kev have been married for 8 years! I still remember the days of Birch Plaza #206 when that romance first started to bud! :o)
