We spent the last week in October in Florida, enjoying a couple of days in Orlando and then a visit with Andrew’s parents in Vero Beach. It was a great trip and while the weather wasn’t exactly what we had hoped for, we managed to pack in a lot of fun.
We started in Orlando at a great Marriott hotel that was right across the street from Sea World. We had not originally planned on staying there but fate was on our side because the hotel was fabulous. It had a great pool area complete with a little water park for the kids! Julia and Benjamin spent most of two afternoons splashing around.
While in Orlando we also visited Downtown Disney and Sea World. We were amazed at the Lego store in Downtown Disney – just incredible sculptures made entirely from Legos, like this one of Woody and Buzz Lightyear:
We also had a special treat because there is a Babycakes bakery there. Babycakes makes only vegan (so egg-free) and gluten-free baked goods. It made me so happy to be able to go in somewhere and tell Julia that she could chose whatever treat she wanted. And she thoroughly enjoyed her brownie cupcake with orange icing!
Sea World was also a hit. We all loved the dolphin show (Julia and Benjamin both sat mesmerized the entire time), walking through the shark tunnel, and seeing sting rays up close. It was a busy couple of days but a really nice break and a great way to start our vacation!
