Oh man, I'm suffering from climate shock! We had PERFECT weather in Florida. It was sunny and in the 70s our first few days. Just gorgeous. Our first day there, I must've said "I can't believe how nice it is!" about 72 times. I REALLY couldn't believe it. We've never taken a warm vacation in the dead of winter. I told Dave we should make a habit of it. The sunshine and warm breeze is SO refreshing. Here we are at Downtown Disney, a shopping and dining area. We had a great time just roaming around enjoying the fresh (warm!) air. And no, Andra's not picking her nose...I zoomed in to make sure. :) She's just pointing to it. Who knows why...
Dave ran an excellent first marathon. His finishing time was 4 hours and 18 minutes. Pretty incredible. He'd been having some toe pain the last month of his training, and he was disappointed the pain really flared up during the marathon. It slowed him down some, but he toughed it out, and finished with a smile on his face! Here he is about 50 yards from the finish line. We're so proud of his accomplishment!! And he doubts it'll be his last marathon...although he's looking forward to taking time off.
Andra was proud of her daddy too. She was such a trooper bearing the crowds, skipping her morning nap, and having the sun in her eyes all morning.
She loved her daddy's Mickey Mouse medal! That's some hard earned bling!!
After the marathon, we spent the next day at Magic Kingdom. There were a few attractions that Andra got to experience for the first time. We did a jungle ride where she spotted lots of (robotic) animals. We also went on the "It's a small world afterall" ride...it definitely brought back memories of childhood Disney trips for me! She was a little in awe of it all. That last picture is her favorite spot...the Pooh playland. She could've played in there all day!
It was a great trip, and a perfect excuse to escape the winter weather for a few days. We're busy getting settled in and back to work. For now, Dave's already eyeing a few other marathons... after some well-deserved rest.
