Siesta Beach, FL

Bianca went to the beach for the very first time! I am so grateful vovo Zete was there to watch it. Living far from her is so hard, it is truly a blessing when she is with us to witness our children's firsts.

Bianca L O V E D the beach! I was so impressed when she fearless got in the water and jumped right into the waves. She wasn't scared a bit, and spent the entire time we were there playing in the (cold) water (and so did I and Giovanna).

It was beautiful to see the connection Bianca has with the sea. I love the sea too! It makes me feel so close to Heavenly Father. I love its smell, its sound, the sand, the water. Everything! I feel so happy my baby feels the same way!

Then around 5pm we watched the beautiful sun of Florida go down, and we were sad for having to leave. But before saying my goodbyes I promised myself I will find a way to go to the beach at least once a year from now on.

**Bottom line: The sand at Siesta beach is unbelievable. So white, soft and cool! Best sand ever...

Tutta Nostra Famiglia at Sea World

I have to confess I had mixed feelings about Sea World. The dolphin and Orca shows were indeed beautiful, but equally sad. I felt guilty for being there having fun while being entertained by captive animals.

When we went back home we discussed about this type of industry and how Sea World started. I began to watch the documentary Black Fish, and it wasn't the best idea.

BUT they also have other super fun attractions like Sesame Street Land, which is really cute and pleasant. My mom, the girls and I spent a good amount of time there walking, watching the parade, and taking pictures with Elmo and Cookie Monster- my favorite!

 Then we finished our day at the sky tower. We watched the sun set while ascending 400 feet up. It was magnificent! It was the best way to close up our beautiful day together.

Tutta Nostra Famiglia at DisneyWorld- Magical Kingdom

Disney World's Magic Kingdom Park truly lives up to its name- it is a really magical place to be.

We woke up early in the morning, and we were one of the firsts to get to the park. We had to be early to attend our Royal Table breakfast with princess Cinderella at her castle.

Do I need to tell we had the best time?

 

My sister, my mom, the girls and I were able to get into the park before everybody, while the Ales, Bia and Lucas waited until the park was open to the public.

Because we were there for breakfast (which was great by the way), we were able to get into a few attractions that would have a huge line once everybody else was in. We met the princesses and rode the carousel twice.

Then after breakfast we reunited with four hungry birds. Gladly, we had asked Kris (our awesome waitress) to box all the food we didn't eat because our excitement didn't let us, obvs.

Then we enjoyed our favorite attractions, skipped lines, stayed in lines, stopped for a snack and water break, took pictures with our favorite characters, watched the parade, and more!

We only left the park after watching the beautiful fireworks (which I recorded the entire thing and almost died).
