What a trip!! Not only did we stay for two weeks in Marco Island with the Whelan family, we tacked on a couple of extra days and took a "magical" trip to Disney World so Anna could finally meet her idols...the Disney Princesses.
Marco was a lot of fun. Since I was pregnant, I obviously couldn't partake in all of the usual merriment, but this trip was truly for Anna. She spent every day doing pretty much the same wonderful things: swimming in the pool, going to the beach, swimming, eating ice cream, swimming, going in the hot tub, swimming and more...all while spending every waking second with her cousins. That was the best part - Anna was able to get in some really valuable and fun "whelan cousin" time.
The highlight of the trip was most certainly Disney World. What an incredible place for kids and what an incredible experience as a parent taking your own kids there for the first time. I wasn't prepared for how emotional and wonderful just one day at Disney with my little Anna would be.
We started the day at the "Cinderlla's Table" breakfast inside the castle. We has a wonderful gourmet breakfast while each princess came up to our table to meet Anna, talk to her and sign her autograph book. We met Cinderella, Snow White, Ariel, Belle and Aurora. She was completely beside herself...just mesmorized by the "real" princesses. I really have never seen her so excited!
We then went to meet her favorite - Rapunzel. Then, on to Tiana, Tinkerbell and so much more. While there, we saw (and participated in) a super fun parade and even caught a princess show. We went on some of the rides, including the tea cup, Small World and more. Anna was a trooper and loved every minute of it.
Although the day was long and tiring for a three-year-old and a pregnant lady (and even for Billy, considering her had to carry her through most of the park), we had an amazing and memorable day. The pictures and video tell the story!
