We're Going to Vero Beach!

Happy news! My family is going on a long weekend getaway this summer to Disney's Vero Beach Resort. We'll be spending a few days at Vero before returning to Orlando for a day at Downtown Disney and dinner at the California Grill. Man, I love that "just booked a Disney trip" feeling.

I’m really excited to be going back to Vero Beach, because I have so many fun memories from the last time we went several years ago. Vero Beach was the place where I swam in the ocean for the first time since I was little (I’m from New England, where the ocean temperature never reaches above 45 degrees). It’s where my mother mistook a dead crab for a live one and threw it into the sea, thinking she was doing it a favor. It’s where I got one of my worst sunburns to date. It’s where a 16 year old waitress shamed me into walking all the way back to our hotel room and retrieving my ID from the room safe before she would serve me a glass of wine (Hilariously, I got all the way up to the room only to realize my mother had the safe key, so then I had to walk back to the restaurant, get the room key, then get the ID, then go back to the restaurant – by which point my glass of wine was already on the table, our teenage server having realized that no one would go to all this trouble just to get illegally wasted with her mom.)

It’s also the place where these pictures were taken:

Can't wait!
