Highlights of the Family Vacay!

Hello, new world!! 

Okay, here I am. It's been one week since school let out for summer, and what a week it's been!! Closed out my classroom, moved all my things to pallets to be moved to a new classroom next year (same school, just a different grade), hung out with my best friend and bridesmaid Cassie (she is a Captain in the Air Force and is FINALLY home from deployment, so we spent every MINUTE we could together) and then, drove to Cincy to then drive 17 MORE hours to Orlando, Florida for a family vacation!! 

Heard of the Griswolds? They have NOTHING on us. 

My big brother Tony and sister-in-law Amanda decided to take their boys to Disney... naturally the rest of my family took them seriously when they asked if we wanted to go!! We are on our way back to Orlando from Siesta Key Beach (Sarasota), and boy, have we made a lot of memories in the past week. 

Enjoy the highlights. :)

My nephews' first trip to Disney World...GO! 

Downtown Disney

 Disney Jr. show at Hollywood Studios

SCIATO's first trip to Epcot!

The moments we were waiting for!!! At Hollywood Studios with Buzz and Woody!! Talk about those magical moments of wonder and awe that only Disney can provide... Totally starstruck :)

Stiiiiillllllll trying to figure out how Heffe and I can stay here for one night on our honeymoon :)

We went to Animal Kingdom, too, but I haven't uploaded those pics yet. :) 

Aaaand my nephews' first trip to the beach... Most of those pics haven't been uploaded either. I did, however, send some token beachy gem photos to Heffe... Poor Heffe, him couldn't come with my fam on this trip... This is his first week of summer MBA classes. My nephews missed him so much!!

I feel it necessary to give shout outs to my newest sista-in-law, Chris, and my forever sister-in-law, Amanda. My fam is a LOT to deal with, but we all sucked it up and gave the boys all we had!!

So. After Mama C makes us a wonderful spaghetti and meatball family dinner (you know, we're not quite sick of each other yet!;)) and after we get fro-yo, and enjoy the pool one last time... As I lay in bed in complete sunburnt blotchy agony tonight, I will take comfort in the fact that I was able to be a part of the chaos and magic of my nephews' first family vacation :)

Cheers :)
