Two weeks ago 3 ladies, 2 babies, 1 double stroller. 3 suitcases, a breast pump and pumpkin shaped cookies were thrown into one car for a girls trip down in Orlando, Florida, home of the Mouse. The three of us took turns driving the car, wedged in the back seat between the car seats and pushing the stroller all over Magic Kingdom. We ate as much as we wanted. We rode roller coaster and kiddie rides alike. Our time at the MK was short; we finished up fast passes,enjoyed a Dole Whip, watched the parade and took pictures of Echo and Sophie in front of Cinderella's castle. Both of those smiley girls were fantastic all day! Afterwards, we hit up our hotel, huge shoutout to Molly for arranging it! I picked up an order from Olive Garden and we stayed up past our normal bedtimes to talk late into the evening. It was here when I found about Acey's ordeal at the MTC, I was pretty emotional about it all, so I really appreciated Kipin+Molly's words and our joint prayer more than they know.
On the second day we knew that our main objective was to rush Epcot's Food and Wine Festival. Before the World Showcase opened we jumped on Mission to Mars and Test Track while the babies listened to the street performers. Afterwards blinders were on and to the countries we went! Basically, with the 20 or so little booths with their own appetizers our objective was to eat through as many euphonious ones as possible. Obviously we care nothing for the spirits, but were extremely interested in buying trying other country's food! We ate from the Dominican Republic, Hawaii, Canada, France, Belgium, Germany, New Zealand. They were all so delish! By the time we made our way back around, we did a half circle again for the French ice cream. By this point my feet were about to fall off and I was sick with worry about my brother. We collectively decided to come back home.
It's so nice to have friends, you know?. Having people who really care about you is always a peaceful feeling- especially when they're also really witty and outgoing! I loooved our girls' trip and can't wait for the next one :)
