Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, totally worn out and screaming,
"WOO HOO, what a ride!"

Saturday Snapshot

Saturday Snapshot is hosted by At Home with Books. To participate in this meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don't post random photos that you find online.

I posted some of these photos before but on this cold winter day I am more than happy to revisit our vacation to Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. Our family of five went there last October courtesy of Kmart and Sears. My hubby won the trip just by randomly using his Kmart Rewards card at the register when he bought $10 worth of stuff one weekend. They were giving away a trip a day for that whole month and he won the last one! We've never been on a "real" family vacation before so we were thrilled (although skeptical at first) and spent four days and three nights in luxury. We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel and had free access to both parks. These photos are from my two favorite places - The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter and the amazing hotel pool that had a beach (my favorite spot), music (even underwater!), a beachclub (hubby and sons favorite spot) and beautiful weather. Oh how I miss it!
