I wanted to go to universal because I've heard it's more for adults and we both like roller coasters. We were lucky to go on a day when we didn't have to wait in lines. It was a Thursday and we could run right up to the front of most of the lines and go on the rides as much as we wanted. The new Islands of Adventure was awesome.
This is us on the new spider man ride
Then Friday I made reservations at an ecological reserve for us to do some zip-lining. It was so fun, something different than neither of us had done before. It was about 4 hours long and we drove through swampland and saw alligators and did a series of 7 zip-lines.
Then we drove to Daytona Beach and stayed in a beautiful resort on the beach for 3 days. There really isn't much to do in Daytona, so if we hadn't been in this resort it wouldn't have been as fun. We were right on the beach and next to a movie theater (I took Erik to see Date Night) and a bunch of restaurants. On Saturday we both got fried, so on Sunday we took a scenic drive up the coast, to avoid the sun, and went to a little town called St. Augustine.
This picture doesn't do him justice, he was red as a lobster. And I got pinched by a crab in the ocean and was afraid to go back in.
St. Augustine is the oldest town in the US and it was fun to walk through and see the old architecture.
It was great to get away, but we missed our boys too so we were glad to be back. Poor Jack was sick while we were gone and they had some miserable snowy, rainy weather so our parents stayed pretty busy with the boys. But they were awesome and we appreciate it so much!
If you go there, make sure you have lots of change for toll roads. After we left the airport we hit 2 toll roads before we got to our hotel. We rounded up all of our change and passed the first one, but then at the second toll we had 4 cents left. They don't take credit cards and the lady just took our 4 cents and let us pass, but we felt like idiots.

looks like it was a lot of fun! Glad you guys were able to get some time for the two of you!
It was kind of funny that you got fried,were pinched by a crab (OUCH!) and didn't have money for toll. How else would you have known though! Everything looked so fun- I can't believe you and Erik have never taken a trip together without the kids. I'm so glad you got to go. Thanks for sharing!
I got a hotel room! just the night of the 20th. It is a super simple room to but I requested a hot tub so hopefully we get one! Also, I am going to try to make it to Gardeners Village tomorrow if you want to meet up. Let me know!
Hi Skye! Hey I was wondering if I could get a couple addresses from you. I need to send out some invites for a bridal shower & these are the only ones I don't have. Please e-mail them to me: eafarr923@gmail.com, thanks so much! I need yours, Helen's, Jenny's & Kalani's. Thanks so much!
I hate toll roads! Looks like a GREAT trip! Isn't it just so nice to get away and be a couple again?! Glad you had fun, it sounds wonderful (except for the sunburns).
