Vero Beach Vacation - Part 1

Last Sunday, the family and I  left for a much needed vacation to Florida.

I cannot tell you how much I was looking forward to getting away.....

We drove to Savannah, GA on Sunday and had supper with some friends.

Then stayed in a hotel for the night.

We got up on Monday morning and drove the rest of the way to Vero Beach, FL.  

This is how Brady traveled.....

We arrived at The Disney Resort in Vero Beach at about 4PM.  

We checked into our villa and headed to the beach.  

 It was only about 66 on Monday afternoon so we didn't stay out there long.

But everyone enjoyed it!

I heart this picture!

 This is the girls and our awesome friend, Cassie.

Cassie came to stay with us and help with the kids.

She was more help than she can ever know!

And the kids LOVED having her there!

That evening, we went to a character dinner that was Pirate themed.

We got to see Goofy....

 And Donald......

Such a fun night!

On Tuesday, we spent the morning at the Environmental Learning Center of Vero Beach.

We got to play in the touch tank,

 Learn about Manatees and lots of other things....

This kind gentleman walked around with us and gave us lots of information!

play some fun games.....

and walk lots of trails.....

We spent the afternoon at the pool!

The "kiddie" area --- a Pirate ship!

The big pool was of course, shaped like Mickey and had this awesome lighthouse slide.

ALL of my kids loved it.  

I will be back tomorrow to share with you what else we did while in Florida last week.
