A Vacation to Remember!

     Back in September, our family was able to fly to Arkansas to visit Eric's parents. It was such a fun trip and so nice to get away. The best part though, was Eric and I were able to go to Florida for a couple of days to get a little time to ourselves. Man, I am in LOVE with Florida...well and my husband of course. It was sooo beautiful there and one of the funnest trips that we have gone on. We first flew into Orlando. We got to spend the first day at Disneyworld and then the next day at the Epcott Center. We liked Disneyworld, but it is pretty much the same as Disneyland. We really loved the Epcott Center though. Its like you are traveling to different parts of the world and has small little cities that are replicas of different countries. So fun!

After being in Orlando for two days, we drove to the most beautiful gem of a city called Sarasota. It was the most beautiful quaint little town I have ever been to. We seriously could have spent forever there! The beaches were so beautiful, the sand was white powder, and the water was a aqua clear blue color. The beach was also not crowded and so queit and peaceful. Seriously heaven on earth. While we were there, we were swimming in the ocean and we discovered a bunch of mantitees swimming up on the shore. It was so cool to see!

 

 Petting the Manitees. Apparently its a felony to do so....

so we were told... So is feeding them french fries.

 Manitee watch came out and informed us the manitees

were all males mating with one female. Apparently she swam to

try to beach herself and get a break from the men for a little bit...

 There were these cute little crabs all over the beach.

Apparently it is illegal to pick them up also..

Heaven on Earth....

Our fancy smancy hotel...got a great deal

We rode beachcruisers up and down the beach..
