Hello! I feel SO out of the loop but totally relaxed! How have you been? Tell me what you’ve been up to!! I will be trying to catch up on your fabulous blogs over the next couple days. Josh and I went away with his family to Orlando to celebrate Christmas. We had an INCREDIBLE time. Here is just a taste of what we did:
Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure (the new Harry Potter portion is AMAZING):
Josh’s brother Jeremy with two little cookies:
I also got to meet Meghann!! I have been reading Meghann’s blogs forever and was very excited to meet her. She met us out at Rainforest Cafe and went to Islands of Adventure too. She is SUPER down to earth and so sweet. She told us lots of great Orlando secrets.
We stayed the first night at the Lowe’s Portofino Hotel:
Next up was three nights at the Beach Club near the Disney resorts:
The chocolate and gingerbread carousel inside the hotel:
We got VERY lucky and got upgraded to the presidential suite. It was ridiculous:
Our time there included a dinner at one of our favorite spots, Cape May cafe. Josh was being funny:
Josh’s sister (Jenny), Mom & brother (Jeremy):

We hit up three parks, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom & Hollywood Studios:
We went to Animal Kingdom at 6:30 AM and it was FREEZINGGGG. Josh & I in front of the tree of life:
The ginormous Gingerbread House at the Floridian:
Based on Meghann’s recommendation, I purchased a shingle…delicious :)
