Trip to Orlando & short visit to Disney

This past week the three of us took a short trip to Orlando for one of Craig's good friend's wedding, aka Emma's first big road trip and our first family vacation! The drive down couldn't have gone smoother. We left right after Emma woke up on Wednesday, around 7am. We made it in about 10 hours with 3 stops to feed her and get her out of the carseat.

We decided we had to make a trip to Disney while we were there. Since Emma is only 5 months old, we figured buying passes for a park would not be worth it since she obviously couldn't last all day. So, we drove to Downtown Disney and walked around for a couple hours, which was the perfect amount of time since she needed a nap and it was already 88 degrees in March! She loved all the music and especially the Disney store.

I think Craig and I were more excited than Emma about Disney

The wedding was a great time with friends and Emma had fun, she stayed out until 9:30pm enjoying the music (which considering her bedtime is 7:30 or 8 is late for her). 

The ride home was a different story. 13 hours, 6 stops, torrential downpour, and horrible traffic, we finally made it home!

And Emma's newest trick that we discovered while in Orlando is that she will get on all fours and start rocking back and forth - I think we are going to have a little crawler any day now!
