Florida

Vaughn and I spent last week in Orlando.  Every year Vaughn has a corporate meeting that they get to bring spouses to.  Vaughn was in meetings everyday so I slept in till 10:30 (8:30 to me) and then ordered room service and sat in bed for an hour or so watching T.V.  Wednesday they gave us tickets to Disney World for the afternoon and evening.  We then went to a Disney hotel that has a restaurant on the top floor, where we had a private dinning room with big windows that over looked the magic kingdom.  At 8 we all headed out on the private balcony to watch the fireworks.  It was really cool,  a once in a lifetime event for us.  Thursday, after I finally got up, I spent the afternoon shopping.  There are two huge outlet malls down the road from our hotel.  Vaughn got out of his meetings early so we went back to Disney World and spent the evening at Hollywood Studios.  It was a blast!  We ran around like kids to make it on the rock-n-roller coaster multiple times.  We love Disney.   Friday we woke up at 5 am eastern (3 am to me) to catch a plane to come home.  Can I say we were very tired!  We had a great time together, it's always nice to spend some time together without all the normal distractions. 
So I didn't take my camera so all we had was my phone to take pictures with.  I put captions on the slide show but for some reason they are not showing up.  It's just not the same without kids to take pictures of and Vaughn was getting really annoyed with me asking him to pose for a picture.  I tried to get him in the Dumbo they have for you to take a picture in but he refused.  The kids would have ALL got in dumbo for me.  I got him in front of the ride at least.

How FUN! We don't get to go places without our kids very often. Once in awhile it is VERY NICE! Sounds like you had a good time.
