Vacation 2008

After 2.5 years, we finally made it back to Florida for vacation. Even with an extended 2 week vacation, we still struggled to get everything in. We're sorry we didn't get the chance to catch up with everyone that we had hoped to.

We had a great time on our trip. We first drove down to Salt Lake City a day ahead of our flight out. We were able to meet up with Aaron and Stephanie and had a nice evening with them. The next morning we flew out to Atlanta where we stayed a few days with the Huesmans.

Our stay in Atlanta was great. The area was beautiful and the weather was great. We mostly kicked back, but were able to get some site seeing in including a tour of the CNN Headquarters, and the Atlanta Zoo. We were able to finally meet Erin Noel, and she is simply precious.

We then flew down to Orlando as Hurricane Faye made her way north. We lucked out with some more great weather as we took Saylor to Disney World. The parks were unusually slow, which was great - we had no waits for anything! Our second of Disney, Sandy and Matty met up with us. Our luck finally ran out on the weather and we got soaked, but we had a great time anyway.

We then were able to spend some time with the Dufresne's and meet their boys Lucas and Benjamin. We had a great time with them and enjoyed a fun day grilling and catching up.

We then headed over to Ormond Beach and got lucky with another week of great weather. We stayed with Mom & Dad at their timeshare and had a great time at the beach. Mostly, we just enjoyed a lot of R&R with the exception of a few Wii tennis and bowling challenges. We made a run to see the Bass family's new home at the Villages and have dinner with the whole family. We also were able to make a run to Melbourne to have dinner with Saylor's Great Grandparents.

Eventually our fun had to end, and we made our way back to Orlando to catch our flight back to Salt Lake City. With the exception of missing a few friends that we hoped to catch up with, it was perfect trip and we can't wait to do it again!
