Last days of Vacation :(

My 2 weeks here have flown by so fast. Vacation has been a blast! I wish my hubby could have been here to share it with me. But it was a nice getaway to visit my parents. We have accomplished so much in the little time I have been here. The other night my mom took me to a very nice restaurant called Shepard's, it was very fancy and the beach came right up to the patio stairs. After dinner we walked down the stairs on the private beach it was sitting on to take a few pictures. We heard a band starting playing 80's songs, I said we have to go check them out! The area had a Tiki lounge out side on the beach for the bands to play. We ended up staying there for a few hours singing, watching the tide wash up on the beach and feeling the breeze. We had a great time, we liked it so much we went back the next night to listen to another band. I was in heaven! I am really going to miss being here and I will miss my parents. I guess I will go home tomorrow and start saving my pennies for next years trip!

....Here Fishy Fishy

The other day we all loaded up and went on an all day fishing trip with my dad. It took 2 hours just to get into the middle of no where to go fishing. My parents were fishing like PROS catching fish left and right. It was a fun family day out.. I guess I didn't catch as much fish because I kept saying..Here Fishy Fishy, I don't think they liked that very much. lol.

Dear Vacation.. Please Don't End!

We have had a nice few days, we have gone to the beach, laid out by the pool, watched the sunsets, eaten at really nice restaurants. I don't want vacation to ever end! Being close to the water is so relaxing. It is nice to be somewhere so beautiful, to see Dolphins, to see Seagulls, Pelicans, exotic animals and to see beautiful sunsets every night is so calming, it's almost like there is no other cares in the world. I love being in the sun and feeling the breeze from the ocean and the palm trees, and the sand in between my toes. It's like Paradise! Here are a few pictures from Downtown Disney, The Rain Forest Cafe, and the beach~

Magic Kingdom

We spent two days at Magic Kingdom and had more fun than any children there. We were big kids in the park for sure! We ate so good there especially on the sugar lol. We had, banana splits, chocolate and caramel covered apples, fudge, brownies, food, food, food. Spaghetti, hamburgers and french fries, chocolate fudge sundaes. Who wouldn't be a kid!? We of course visited all the rides and shops around. Some of our favorites were..The Tea Cups, It's A small World, Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, The beautiful Carousel. We also loved Mickeys Philharmagic, it was wonderful! The Monsters Inc Laugh Floor, The hall of Presidents, and the Carousel through the years. We had a wonderful time and we will always remember that Disney World is a place where we can always come to realize that our dreams and wishes can come true! Our wishes for now is that my health will improve, as most of you know the week before I came on vacation I had 6 biopsies on my lymph nodes and I was tested for more cancer including Lymphoma Cancer. We wished that I would get better and wouldn't have to be a human pin cushion anymore! We sang Disney songs the whole time we were there!! It was wonderful!

Epcot

Morocco..

This week was girls week, my mom and I headed to Orlando to visit the parks. Our first stop was Epcot. There weren't really any rides but the park was set up like countries. My favorite was Morocco! I love Arabian jewelry, music, the colors,belly dancers, and of course the smell of incense, . It was my favorite, and of course I couldn't leave without buying a CD of Arabia's best dance hits. The best part of the Countries, is that people from the countries were working in the gift shops and restaurants. My moms favorite besides America was Italy. We stopped in Italy for lunch, and while we were there the Italian waiters taught us how to speak a little Italian. We traveled through all the countries and stopped in Germany to get a little German Chocolate Fudge. We had a great day!

Nice day for a drive

We didn't get into much today, My dad has been on a fishing trip since I have been here so today we just drove around different areas, did a little shopping, and relaxing. We are gearing up for our trip to Orlando tomorrow. We will be there for about 3 or 4 days to visit Mickey Mouse. I won't have my computer to blog, but I thought I would post a few pictures of Clearwater.

This is the town of Bellaire, it is very ritzy, but so beautiful. I tease Ryan and tell him we will live here one day!

This is the Marina where dad goes fishing. We were here waiting for his boat to come in.Mom cooking dinner in her KitchenTonight's sunset, we were laying out by the pool and the bay. This is my parents back yard haha

Happy Easter from Paradise!!

My vacation started Easter Sunday, I arrived in Clearwater and was welcomed with the cutest Easter basket from my parents. It had chocolates, an Angel, beach shoes, and the movie The Blindside all inside a beach bag. It was too cute. We started out our morning hearing all the church bells from the church across the street from my parents condo. We went to a huge flea market, then onto a park by the water. We ended the day eating at The Island Way Grill, which is another restaurant in the area that was in the TV show Brooke Knows Best. It is in walking distance from my parents, and we always eat our Easter dinner there. We ate on the deck with a veiw of the water and all the big boats. After dinner we took a stroll to the pier to watch the sunset. It was a wonderful day. I hope everyone had a blessed Easter and counted their blessings!
