Over the weekend, Scott had to work, so Charlotte and I went with him. Instead of driving down Friday and taking our time like we had planned, Scott's boss decided he wanted to throw two more jobs at him. We were originally supposed to be going to the Christmas party at the office party with everyone else, but once again Scott had to work and I was definitely not going without him, so we went with him instead.
We drove from about 3 am until 9 am the next morning, checked into a hotel and Scott went to unload. About 3:30 Scott got back after a long day and he napped for an hour, since Charlotte was napping already. Then he got up and we went in search of nursery water, since Scott didn't want me using tap water haha. Luckily our hotel was just down the street from the mall and tons of shopping so we stopped at Target first. We got Starbucks and some nursery water and then headed across the street in search of some dinner since we both hadn't eaten all day. We did some shopping and finally came around to the food court. We were going to try something different but to to the lack of help from the people we decided to go somewhere we knew everyone was nice! Chick-fil A! It's my absolute favorite and at one point while I was pregnant with Charlotte I had to have it almost every day. That was a little bit difficult being in places of the U.S. that didn't even have Chick-fil A, but we still somehow managed to fulfill my craving!
Back to what I was talking about. After dinner we walked around some more and went into the Hallmark store, where we found two awesome finds!
First a nativity scene. We have been looking and looking for the picture nativity scene for our home and we finally found it. We collect Willow Tree figurines and we found a nativity scene that was perfect for our home.
Second we are looking for a birthday train for little Charlotte that we can add onto each year. I still plan to research and since we don't have a hallmark store where we live I will probably buy something online but we found a bunch of precious moments figurines, and Scott and I both love love love Precious moments. Scott grew up with them and my grandmother passed a few down to me as well. A side note: I'm not sure where we were but while driving last year together Scott found museum in the middle of the night that he stopped at. He woke me up and said come here and we walked around the grounds since it wasn't open at 3 am haha. It was so cool being somewhere and finding something we both loved.
After the hallmark store Scott was really hurting after a long night and long day so we returned to our hotel and went to bed. He slept for 10 hours and the next morning he was super bouncy and happy because he felt so much better. After getting coffee and juice, feeding and changing Charlotte and packing everything up we took off for our next adventure.
We originally had planned to go to the zoo, because we had heard great things about it and even Mimi said we should take Charlotte but seeing as the zoo was the opposite direction of heading home we changed up and decided we would go somewhere on our way home. We originally had planned to go to Gatorland, but before we got to the exit to go there, we saw the signs for Disney World and Scott decided he wanted to go. So we headed to Magic Kingdom and went to Disney World for the first time. (I have been to Epcot and Animal Kingdom with my parents as one of our summer vacations about 5 years ago but this was my first time at Magic Kingdom and my first time with my own little family). We wore the first time pins, ate lots of food, did lots of walking, saw lots of parades and shows, even got to meet Minnie Mouse, which I would say was Charlotte's favorite. We had a long long 14 hour day and then headed back to Savannah for work the next morning.
Disney World is a magical place and even though Charlotte won't remember a thing, we have lots of picture for her!It is a lot more magical being able to experience it as a Mommy now! It is a wonderful feeling sharing these experiences not only with Charlotte but with Scott as well. I cannot wait for our next family adventure! It was a great weekend. Now onto Christmas! YAY
I'll post pictures of Disney World either tomorrow or sometime after Christmas but here is one of my beautiful family after just arriving! That is the only time Charlotte wore her ears, she wanted to either chew on them or throw them out of the stroller the rest of the time!
XOXO
