Week in Florida

I started this post on Thursday night when I was still in Florida, but didn't get around to posting it, so just pretend it is Thursday night...

Well, I officially spent a week away from my boys. In the early morning, I will be heading back from a weeklong a trip to Florida.

I have been planning on this trip for a while, to attend a work conference in Orlando. I was really looking forward to a break from all the insanity in my life, including a little break from my kiddos. As much as I love them, and miss them when we aren't together, a break from them where I could focus on relaxing and hanging out sounded really nice to me.

So, I flew into Orlando last Friday, and spent a few days with my awesome extended family. I got some quality time with my aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins. Spent some time on the beach and just relaxing. Then on Monday, I picked up some work friends from the airport and we checked into our resort, which happens to be a really nice Disney resort. Tuesday was mostly spent by the pool, and Wed/Thurs we were in conference meetings.

I am so ready to be home, but enjoyed every minute of my trip. So thankful that I have a husband who supports me enough to watch the kiddos for a whole week and really take great care of them. He is such a great daddy! Here are some pics from my adventures.

Awesome Gramma

Best meal ever! This was Florida Grouper on top of spinach,  cherry tomatoes and artichokes, topped with homemade guac and a little sprout garnish. SOOOOOO GOOD!

this is where the Grouper came from. Yum!
