Florida Family Vacation part2

Our vacation started early last Wednesday morning. We were out the door in time, well what we thought was in time ha! We Parked the car in parknfly and shuttled it to the airport. Whoa! Was it busy! And customs into the USA! Crazy line ups! Omg we ended up being the last people on the plane! Haha we even had to run for it! That was a first for us! But we made it and all was good! 

Little k was excited for the plane ride! And heading to the beach! 




We arrived and everything was smooth! The rental pickup was at the airport and then we made our way to the walmart that was 5 mins for our condo to pick up some snacks and breakfast food! 

We arrived at the condo and we loved it!! 
Little k was talking non stop about the airplane and the beach house as we called it! 



The first day we spent time on the beach then went out for a delicious dinner! 



Most mornings I made breakfast before we left to enjoy the day.


Then it was pool and beach time! 





Little guy was up every morning at 7am sharp and ready to hit the beach! Ha! 

Part 3 South beach and Palm beach sight seeing! Then our drive to Key West! So much fun! Missing it!!!

Florida Family Vacation - Part1

5 days in Florida! But why have we not traveled here before!? I'll post in parts because there are some of my own travel tips and memories I really want to keep and come back to! That's what my blog is all about! 



When we first decided to book a trip we wanted to think of a trip that we can easily do with 2 kids and especially on the time off that's given to us when they are in school! Like March break! I've seen many blogger friends post about family vacations in Florida and I see why they love it now! 

First we thought of driving... But decided to fly instead, being 6.5 months preggo. Which was great because it was only a 3 hour flight. Next time we will try driving! 

We booked a condo through the site homeaway.com

Which is great!!! Some tips I want to remember. 

1. Ask and make sure the condo your booking is the same one in the picture
We had no issue here! It was exactly  what we saw on the site. Oh and go for Oceanview/beach front property! We loved the condo we picked! Easy access to the beach and they had a great pool too! 



2. Pay online through the homeaway site with credit card, they even have extra insurance coverage to add if needed. We added it just incase! Some owners ask for cheque in the mail or give you direct bank info to deposit into. I don't like the sending a cheque way, we tried it and felt unsafe so I cancelled that condo and went with one I could pay directly with online. 

3. Check reviews on the site, or even call the site and they can tell you some info too!



4. If you don't know the area, get the address of the place and Google map it! So you have an idea. 



We stayed in the Hollywood area and absolutely loved it!!! 

So many restaurants and shops near by. 

We also rented a car which was super convenient . Pick up and drop off at the airport! Extra charges included getting a car seat but needed of course!! 

More vacation posts to come! We had fun in the sun! Enjoying the ocean and pool! We went sightseeing! To Palm beach, South Beach and drove all the way to Key West! Little K had a blast!

Friday night we had an evening walk at the amusement park. 


Little k is always super excited for the weekends ha! He'll ask if he's going to school then gets soo happy when we say no, it's the weekend haha!! 


Saturday we had some errands to run and stopped by our favorite Apple farm for some Mother's Day treats! 




Running around had this one pooped in the afternoon! 

While he slept we decorated the bathroom with some new purchases from the morning! 

We got new bathroom mats and towels, new decor to complete the look! 

Huge huge difference it made!!







This mama is happy!!

Later that evening we decided to go out for dinner. We looked up a New Mexican restsurant in the city and went to enjoy a quiet dinner on a patio. 

The weather was perfect!

This morning for Mother's Day my boys surprised me with breakfast! I didn't even hear them get up! They let me sleep in and woke me up with breakfast ready for me! How sweet!!!!!!!!

My husband put it all together Sunday! 

I need a few more things to finish up but for the most part, it's complete!!

A perfect place to work! 





The base has a little marble touch, and can you believe I found a lamp with a marble base! What are the odds! Ha! 




The mister picked the art and he did a perfect selection, connecting all the rooms together. 



Little k now has a place for homework. He was soooo excited to sit in the big chair to complete his work. 

I can't get enough of this picture. He looks like a big boy working hard. Adorable!!

Fun weekend wedding!

Saturday my husbands best friend got married!!! My husband was the best man, and his friend was his best man too at our wedding!! 

We've know him for 15 years! It was soo nice seeing his family and other friends and the wedding. Reminiscing about the past, their university days. Our very young years just having so much fun always! 

I wore my go to maternity dress! I've got great use out of this dress! 

I kept it simple with black and my MK heels that still fit! 



Their Hall was beautiful, the food was delish! I ate everything. 

My husbands best mans speech was so good. Made me cry! And the groom was touched by it. It hit the past, present and glimpse of the future in our friendship to come. It was warm and heartfelt. :) a great best man speech! 

We danced a lot! We had a great time with friends! 



This is the last of our friends of this group to get married!! So we partied it up to 2am! . Ha! Zzzz




Little k spent the evening with grandma. Instead of driving back home so late when he was already sleeping. We just stayed over my moms for the night.
Best part of that was, we got to sleep in because grandma woke with little k and they had breakfast all ready for us when we woke up. Soo sweet!!

Hope you all had s great weekend!
