Front Porch: My vacation + pics!

Hi Beautiful,

Taking a family vacation to Disney World is like stepping into a whirlwind of excitement and adventure. From the moment you walk through those gates and Mickey Mouse waves hello, it's non-stop fun. 

But let's be real, it's also exhausting. 

You're up at the crack of dawn, racing from one ride to the next, standing in lines that seem to stretch to infinity. And the Florida sun? It's no joke. You're sweating buckets, wishing for a breeze, or at the very least, a cold drink. (My favorite ride is the Hall of Presidents. The AC can’t be beat.)

But despite the fatigue and my aching back, there's something truly magical about being with your kids and family. And those fireworks at night? They light up the sky in a way that takes your breath away.

And then, there are the memories. Oh, the memories! The photos, the new TRON ride and the Dole Whip floats (I got two). As my kids get older (15 and 17), I really try to stop and soak up every moment of the experience.

So yeah, vacation at a theme park might leave you feeling more tired than a marathon runner, but it's the kind of exhaustion that comes with a heart full of joy and a camera roll full of memories. And in the end, that's what it's all about.

What are your summer plans? Whatever they are make some memories that will last a lifetime!
