Spring Break!

       Spring Break started out with our 6th Annual Egg Hunt. I have been organizing it for the past 6 years and the children in our neighborhood love this yearly tradition. Eddie usually dresses up as the Easter Bunny but this year my Sister (Aunt Michelle) decided to take on the important role since Eddie decided to work that day. I planned it for the Sunday before Easter and the next day we were leaving for our vacation in sunny Florida. Here are some pics from our fabulous Spring Break 2013!

Florida Vacation!

       After the egg hunt we headed to Orlando. We were surprised how cold it was in Florida. The temperature was 65 degrees (which is chilly for Florida but nice to us New Yorkers). We went to Disney World with my parents and the park was very packed! We did go on some cool rides and Emma went on a scary roller coaster but it wasn't very scary to her. She loved it!
After being at the park all day Eddie took us all out to dinner at Cape May in the Beach Club. We wanted to enjoy the girls before Eddie and I left for our trip to Miami!
     The next day Eddie and I headed off to Spectacular Miami Beach. We stayed 3 days and had an awesome suite overlooking the ocean at the magnificent "W Hotel"! We were not worried about the kids because my parents had special adventures planned for the girls. The weather was 80 degrees and sunny, sunny, sunny! Eddie and I did a lot of relaxing, hanging out at the beach, eating extraordinary dinners, shopping, site seeing, etc. Every Spring Break Eddie and I go to Miami Beach and every year we have a terrific time! It's so nice to get away just the two of us! Here are our pics from our Florida vacation!
