Our family was fortunate to travel to Florida--leaving 20 degree Utah temperatures for a few perfect 80-degree days! My sister Jody was amazing and completed her 2nd "Goofy" (39.3 miles baby), our dad ran the Disney 5K, and I did the Half Marathon. The downer of the trip was sickness: flu ran through the family, and even with codeine and cough medicine, I had some killer coughs throughout the run. Still, the good far outweighed the bad, and these are my top picks of the trip:
1. A day at Epcot virtually without crowds and lines, enjoying gorgeous blue skies, shorts in January and sunshine.
2. Watching my kids eat their first jacket-required 7-course gourmet meal at Victoria and Albert's. (Wyatt said he looked like James Bond , the service was superb, and white chocolate gelato was the PRE-dessert, followed by chocolate souffle).
3. A Tie: The new Mt. Everest Roller Coaster and the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
4. The African safari animals at Animal Kingdom.
5. Tower of Terror, always a favorite
6. Eating a funny lunch at Prime Time Cafe at Hollywood Studios.
7. Running through kingdoms and enjoying Disney characters and scenes in the Half Marathon.
8. Lounging by the pool.
9. Seeing friends and touring the ginormous Deseret Citrus and Cattle Ranch, complete with alligators in the swimming hole and a rodeo-grounds picnic lunch.
10. Spending time with my husband, parents, sister, and three youngest children :)
