We came back from Orlando last weekend and it already feels like ages ago. It was amazing! I can’t really describe fully what this holiday meant to us, but I have loved so much being away just the 4 of us, where it was warm and sunny and where entertainment was in abundance.

We have, of course, spent a lot of time in theme parks. Not being a massive fan, I have found that 4 days at Universal Studios was plenty. That’s the beauty of being so close now, we felt we could go back and do more another time and didn’t feel obliged to do EVERYTHING. So even if it doesn’t happen I don’t think any of us will feel like we are missing out.

I could go on and describe all the fun, but I wouldn’t know where to start. However the thing I have loved more than anything else is the opportunity to take a break my family and realise how much this expatriation has made my boys grow up. Even saying this now makes my heart swell with pride and love for these 2 little people not so little anymore.

I am so proud of the individuals they are becoming.

As you can imagine we came back with SD cards full of memories, so here is just a snapshot…
