matt's 34th birthday

this year for matt's birthday i was forced to come up with a "surprise".  i don't like surprises and i'm not really good at keeping a secret either.  we had mentioned going to Disney a while back and i thought that it could be a different kind of trip for us to take.  so i planned and saved for a couple weeks and we had a great time.

this was in january by the way...i'm just updating about it now because i didn't get to post all the pictures on my Tumblr because it was being an ass about page break that day--but don't get me started.

this trip was all about rides, sun, and cocktails!

 Theodore is like "bring me with u daddy".  the babies LOOOOVE getting all up on our suitcases when we are gearing up for a trip.  they are sooo smart!

checked into our "Castle" themed hotel in Orlando after a long, but nice drive.  this hotel was full of cheap (scary) kitsch like this creepy goblin that greeted us by the front desk.  i don't know what a wizard has to do with Disney?

a crazy light fixture

mosaics galore

 

first day we spent at Downtown Disney being all touristy. decided to go all the way and head to Planet Hollywood for an early dinner.  it was uber cheesy just the way we like it.

i got really excited and knew a good time was to be had when i saw CHUCKY while we were waiting to be seated.
