*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!

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!
Ode to Motherhood says
Sounds like you all had fun! Glad to have you back.
No worries, summer is on its way..more good times ahead!
Stacie's Madness says
HAHAH I love this…
I took the kids to Arizona, from Indiana…and we were the same with the shorts…and ghostly white legs.

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.

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 🙂

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!
Buckeroomama says
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!

Heres hoping that March comes quickly for you!
