We had a BLAST at Disney World!

SO MUCH FUN!!! Mom, Hudson and I really did have the BEST vacation at Disney World! I hope we get to do it again sometime. Hudson was so much fun and to see his face light up not only on his 1st plane ride, but to see his reaction at all four theme parks was just awesome!


We left on a later flight after work and school. Jennifer took us to the airport and dropped us off. Our flight left at 6pm and Hudson was VERY excited to get on the plane. He asked us a lot of questions while waiting to board. Once on the plane, he wanted to sit next to the window and honeslty almost the whole flight looked at the SkyMall magazine - so funny!

He asked my Mom when we were way way up in the air if we were able to see any insects from the plane and then asked if we were going to land on the moon - so cute!

Here are are A LOT of pics - Enjoy! :)

Ready to head to Orlando!

Hudson & Mimi before take-off

Since we didn't land until 9:30 in Orlando, we spent our first night at the Hyatt in Orlando Airport. Literally walked up the escalator in the airport to the Hyatt lobby. So great when it's late. This is a piece of paper from the SkyMall magazine Hudson tore out - had a motor thingy in it he wants for Christmas!

Welcome to Disney World!!! I love seeing and driving under this sign - it makes me SO happy!
