Hello all, It has been awhile, hasn't it?
Our summer has been great.
It started with a trip to Berlin, visit with my mom and Carolyn in NYC, and then a family trip to Florida.
We of course went to Disney while we were down in Florida.
I also have a few new things to share that we discovered at the Disney resorts.
First at the request of my four year old we went fishing. We were going to take a boat out and fish, but with the Disney prices we thought is she really serious about fishing? With a little searching I found pole fishing at Port Orleans Riverside. The best part? It is very inexpensive especially if you have a large family who wants to give it a try.

Our next discovery was the Pirate Adventure, which is available at a few resorts but we chose the Grand Floridian. It was a little more expensive compared to fishing but not overly so. For both kids it was under $75 and that included 2 hours of fun, souvenirs and an arcade card to spend at any Disney arcade.

Aside from Disney we took a trip to Tallahassee, St. Marks, Gainesville pitstop, Riverview, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Palm Harbor, and Orlando so I would say it was a successful trip to Florida.
