We have been married for 5 amazing years! It is crazy to me how quickly time goes by!! Not everything that has happened during the past 5 years has been happy and wonderful (although most truly was) but I cannot imagine going through both the most joyous and the most painful experiences in my life without the most amazing man by my side. Being lucky enough to have Eldon as my Eternal Companion is truly the greatest blessing and treasure. We have been through quite a bit over the past few years, and I am ever so grateful for him as an amazing husband, a caring man, and as my best friend.
To celebrate our union, we decided to take a fun little trip to FLORIDA!!!!
Our First day in Florida started out at Disney's Magic Kingdom. It was similar to Disneyland in California, but still quite different. It was interesting to think you know where things are and to head in that direction and then find that it doesnt look the same at all. For those of you who know me well, you know that I love Pirates. The Pirates ride here was definitely different. The entrance is totally different and the ride is similar but shorter. The best part that was different, was they had a Captain Jack Sparrow show and he let me up on stage to become part of his pirate crew. It was AWESOME!!!!! he he.
Day 2 was the Epcot Adventure. We went on a ride that took us on banked curves at 65 mph, soared over California, talked with a turtle and toured the world all in one day. You cant beat that! One of the funnest parts was in Japan where I got to pick an Oyster and found a pearl! Oh and in France we had yummy treats including something similar to what Eldon had on his mission called Napolitanas. He put it on facebook to tease his mission buddies and ended up finding out that one of his mission buddies lived in Florida, and the best part, he buddy and his family was able to join us for Day 4 of our adventure.
Day 3 was a break from Disney for the best Anniversary gift ever. (see post above)
Day 4 was Hollywood Studios. This park was crazy busy!!! But had a lot of things we had never done before. The Rockin Roller Coaster was pretty dang fun. We also went on a backstage tour, saw a car stunt show, and Indiana Jones Stunt show, watched Beauty and the Beast as well as saw a Jedi Training sessions. It was quite a day full of fun!
Day 5 was Animal Kingdom. This was our final day, so it was only a half day because we were flying home. We started out the day on an African Safari. It was pretty entertaining. Our guide was hilarious. We saw some cool animals. Next we ventured over to Asia and took a trip to Mount Everest to see the Yeti. The ride was pretty good, but it was pretty funky to go backwards and loop in the dark when you cant tell which direction you are headed. We saw a few more animals, including a bugs life show before the heavens opened up and it poured on us. We were absolutely soaked by the time we got to our car to head to the airport. I didnt get a pic cuz Eldon wasnt too thrilled at this point. I thought it was pretty funny though.
All in all, we had a wonderful trip to Florida. It was pretty hot, definitely humid, full of great memories to cherish and a wonderful way to celebrate the best decision we made... our marriage.
