*View of Reunion Resort Kissimmee Florida out our window
Not to perpetuate the stereotypes, but it’s easy to spot a Canadian in Florida on March Break. We are wearing shorts and smell like a coconut breeze, all shiny with sunscreen. Everyone else, pants, jackets and even tooks! (that’s a hat eh?)
It takes a minimum of 4 days before I can put away the Visine and under eye concealer. Black circles be gone.
I feel better, healthier, dare I say sexier with a tan!
I always pack too many pairs of shorts, never enough warm cozy stretchy eatin pants!
Daddy is way more fun then me on a two week vacation. He plays Monkey in the Middle until his arms hurt, never tires of video games, and always says yes to junk food. I push veggies and fruit, remind my wee one’s that it is bedtime and insist on sunscreen and even clean underwear. Bad Mommy.
Life without alarm clocks is surprisingly liberating!
Only in Orlando does it seem reasonable to pay $48.00 US dollars for a family of four to play mini-golf.
The world seems a happier more peaceful place when you are sitting in a hot tub, sharing a cocktail and searching for the big dipper. Hot tubs are part magic!
Two weeks can feel like two days when you are with the ones you love. When you are where you are supposed to be.
Only 11 more months until the next March break. Sigh.
Top Mommy Blogs love. Thanks!

Hope your vacation was wonderful. $48 for min golf! Hope they at least let you keep the clubs Lol!
As nice as vacation is, I'm always happy to be home and back on some sort of schedule.
Welcome Home!
I'm jealous -- I *live* here and don't have a tan yet! :-)
Isn't it a beautiful thing to get away to where spring has already started, and tan your body!
We are sexier with some color.
Secretia
So glad that you had a nice time.
nice. sounds like you have a greatg time...i miss florida....
Time does go way too fast when you are with someone you love and have a deadline. Trust me, I know!
Is March Break a tradition in Canada? Is it the same as Spring Break but with a different name?
Mini-golf: any money spent on that is money wasted where I am involved. This is because I get bored by the 4th hole. I like the idea of mini golf, but I just can't stand the reality of it!
Oh I love miniature golf! It's always so fun and yes everyone looks better with a good tan!
When I visit Fl in March I, too, am in shorts...when I lived there, however, we used to marvel at the "snow birds" swimming in winter.
We were further south.
Looks like you had a great time!
You are so funny. Yes...us Floridians are a bunch of whiny babies when it comes to cold. We in head to toe winter garb it it's 40 degrees outside...lol.
I went to school with a guy who was from Canada....moved to FL his freshman year. I LOVED his accent. It's sounded so much cooler than my southern twang :)
Perhaps you were paying for the "vacation experience and atmosphere." lol
What a lovely time you seemed to have had with your family. :)
Don't worry...us midwest dwellers would have been rocking the shorts and flip flops too! Pasty legs and all!
Can't wait until I can take my little guy to Disney. Maybe if I start saving now, we'll be able to afford by the time he's old enough. Haha!
You had me cracking up about Monkey in the middle! I'm the smallest in my family so they always gang up on me with that!
That's sounds blissful! Thanks for the definition of a "tooks". I've never heard that before, eh.
Your kids packed underwear????
Over-dressers.
:0
Heres hoping that March comes quickly for you!
Glad to hear that you had a grand time in Florida. :)
"Life without alarm clocks is surprisingly liberating!" ...hence the big GROAN every time we land, when we think of "regular" life facing us the following day!
Sounds like you had a great time.
I think the entire world needs to go without alarm clocks every once in a while. The world would be a happier place that way!
Sounds like you had a great time! i cant wait for summer to start for a nice tan and mmm the smell of coconut!
Ooo, I'm so looking forward to our stay in Floriday next week!
PS ~thanks for the e-mail you sent
too funny, but I am from Michigan and pasty white at the moment
You need both good cop and bad cop to make a winning team - I'm sure your kids love you for it ;-)
Ah, your vacation sounds dreamy... specially the hot tub part under the stars. and the tan.
Thanks for sharing :)
oh...I can't wait for Summer so i can have my tan back! Yes, it does seem that we look sexier with a tan...love how that works!
This is so true. I live for vacations. Everything and everyone is so much happier. No work or deadlines to worry about. We try our hardest to make it a point to get away every year and so look forward to it. On our way back I am always counting the days until the next trip, even though it is usually a whole year away.
HAHAH I love this...
I took the kids to Arizona, from Indiana...and we were the same with the shorts...and ghostly white legs.
Sounds like you all had fun! Glad to have you back.
No worries, summer is on its way..more good times ahead!
You're right, we natives can always spot you by your shorts and wrinkly swim fingers while we are bundled up and (we think) freezing to death at 60 degrees and sunny.
But we love having you visit! Glad you had a great time!
