This is me on our tour of the Everglades. It was pretty, but there were hardly any birds or other sign of wildlife. I was quite disappointed and sad about it. The tour guide said we went at the worst possible time, the middle of the afternoon, but I thought we would see more. It was also sad to see how little of the Everglades there are left. The tour guide did say that the water level is nearly back up to what it should be, 3.5 to 4 feet, which is positive.
We DID see an alligator though! Now THAT was cool! He swam right up to the boat.
This is Jason and I after we went snorkeling in the Bahamas. The fish were BEAUTIFUL, but the reef itself was rather brown. It wasn't as colorful as you see in many pictures of the Great Barrier Reef near Australia, but the fish were amazing. We are developing our underwater pictures today and hope to get some great ones. Look how blue the water is!
After snorkeling we rented this moped for a couple hours and drove around Nassau (the capital city of the Bahamas). It was so much fun! We stopped at some of the sandy white beaches and almost got killed because they didn't tell us that you're supposed to drive on the left side of the road. It was gorgeous and we had a blast.
The buildings there are so colorful (they are in South Florida, too) . This is one of the police stations in Nassau. 
On a pretty beach. We didn't swim, though, because we're not really into hard, crusty sand on our bodies. Snorkeling was enough swimming for us.
This is the tiny cruise ship we were on. It was so small, but charming. We had a great time eating and relaxing and singing kareoke. We would DEFINITELY like to take a cruise on one of the big liners now.
These two pictures were taken outside of the Lego store at Disney. The statues are made completely out of legos, isn't that cool?!?!
On the slide in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground.
Mary Poppins' actual horse!
We tried to get a picture with Mickey, but the line was already closed, so instead we attempted to get him in the background. If you look closely, you'll see him there.
All in all, this was one fabulous vacation!

I'm glad you had fun, although, I knew you would. It's nice to get away, just the two of you. I'd like to do that some day. Did you book your trip with a travel agent? How did you pick where you went and what you did? Sounds very neat. What a great experience!
I think when all of our kids are older-and maybe Jimmy is married-we should take a siblings and spouses vacation. Some place awesome like Hawaii or Europe anywhere...I think it would be awesome. Imagine the memories...imagine the pictures!
Those are great pictures. I'm glad you had a good time.
We had to attend a timeshare tour while on vacation, they planned it. The vacation was used as a marketing tool.
Oh, I've gotten calls for those before. I didn't think it would actually be a fun vacation though so I turned it down. Maybe I'll do the next one if I ever get a call again. Were you called, or did you find the offer online?
Kari, your idea is excellent. I've heard of other families having a family reunion on a cruise or at Disneyworld. I think that would be totally fun. We'll have to keep that in mind.
I watched "Mary Poppins" on TV today and I looked for the horse. I can verify that it is the same one.
Great! I'm glad it actually was the right horse as the sign said. Was it the one that Mary Poppins rode?
