That made me get all misty. I have to admit that I did shed a few tears of jealousy the day you guys left.....then I shed a few more tears when I had to change Jack's explosive diarrhea diapers.
Hey guys, I hope it's okay I found your blog through Rochelle's site. What a fun vacation, sounds like you had a great time! Cute pictures!
What an amazing vacation. We want to do that someday with our girls--just waiting to build up the "Disney" fund and for Kristen to get a little older.
