Trip to Florida

We just got back from about a 10 day trip to Florida. I think I'll try to sum up the trip with pictures since there's just so much to write about! :)

We started off our trip in Orlando where Andy's brother and his fiance live. We hung out on Saturday and went to dinner, then we checked out Disney World on Sunday! We decided to just take on one park since we only had one day, so we went to Magic Kingdom.

Here's Andy, Jennifer, and Chad on Thunder Mountain. I couldn't get on because I'm "with child" :)

In front of the castle

We left on Monday for Ft. Lauderdale and checked into the players' hotel. Here's the view from our room. Nice!

The next day we did a little shopping and sightseeing in the area. We stopped at a cute spot for lunch called Coconuts on the water and ate a yummy crab cake BLT

Andy had meetings that night, so afterwards we checked out a cute spot-Bahia Cabana- for dinner and some live music.

The next day we hit the beach and the pool! Love the warm weather!

Later that evening Andy's parents, Sam, Nick, my dad, Lillian, Stefanie, and Katie all arrived in town. We all met up at the "welcome party" at our hotel. It had a cuban theme- dancers, food, and a cigar rolling station.

The next day I went with my dad's crew to check out dolphins at the Miami Seaquarium. They got to get in the pool but I couldn't :( It was cool to watch though!

The dolphin (Zoe-a boy) was really cute. He jumped and did flips, caught and retrieved balls, kissed them, and waved. He was only 3 years old, but really smart!

Andy made reservations for us that night at Chima Brazilian Steakhouse. If you've never been to one of these before you should definitely check one out! There's a bar with all kinds of salads and sides, and then the main attraction-meat! Chicken, pork, salmon, swordfish, chicken with bacon, all kinds of steaks-I can't even name them all-are brought to you on these big skewers. Each person has a card that they flip over to green when you want meat or red when you don't. It's all you can eat, so needless to say, Andy was in heaven!

Friday morning-picture day!

Later there was a family beach party. Nick joined up some guys to play some football and impressed a lot of NFL players. Deangelo Williams (of the Carolina Panthers) even told Nick he had great hands!

Donnie and Josh (Andy's buds from home) with Donovan McNabb

Rebecca, my mom, and Jimmy all arrived in time for the party too!

Our whole group went to dinner later at Truluck's Seafood. Andy had the biggest crab legs I've ever seen.

The whole group! (17 of us that night I think)

Andy's agent, Eddie, joined us on Saturday.

Then all 21-that's right 21 of us at dinner at Big City Tavern.

All the girls in matching shirts. Go Andy!

Everyone smiling except Stefanie-always a clown!

All the 49ers being announced before the game.

So proud of Andy! He had 2 great punts and did perfectly holding for field goals and extra points. What a wonderful honor and a wonderful time we had in Ft. Lauderdale. It was hard to leave the warm sunny weather, but we're glad to be back home settling in again. Now to catch up on all the stuff I recorded on the DVR...I love that thing!! :)
