HI my name is Dawn I am a mom to two wonderful girls one is going on 16 in few weeks and my little one she's 6 years old..... we are looking forward to a 4 nights 5 days trip to Vero Beach in July....we have been to VB before just for one night before a weekend at WDW at AKV
my little one Maddie at the time was just about to go on 3 years old I think lol here's a few photo's from that over night trip

that's my two DD's and my dad
we get to go to WDW so much b/c my DAD is a DVCM ( so he let's us use his points and I do pay him a little for each night but this trip he told me it's my B-day and Christmas gift to go on him :) OK :cool1: We did have a tirp to WDW with a stay at BLT for my b-day but with the wedding in Dec and nothing to do during the summer I asked if we could go to VB in the summer and drop the BLT for my b-day.....also we are all going on the Dream in Feb :)

a few from our room from our 1st trip


my little one walking on the beach at VB



Maddie my little one loves Sea turtles so we hope to see them on this trip :)
..... the last trip to WDW was last summer and it was one of the best trips we went one..... we stayed at BW and LOVED IT! here's a few photo's from that trip....
This is ME and DD Tori

and view from our room we loved the pool!


so this is the 1st mom and DD trip to VB we are looking forward to just laying on the beach and by the pool....ok so I am working on another PTR for our familymoon on the Dream in Feb of 2015.... so yes we are getting things done for our wedding on 12/13/14 also working on Toris sweet 16 party. my DF is not going with the girl's and I in July because it's a girl's only trip :) ok need to a few thing done but all I want to do is this lol have a great day.
 
SO my Tori is going to be 16 in only 11 days!
this is the one photo she picked out for her cards she gave out.... after 180 photo's that I had taken of her this was the last one that she did not want to do but I told her do it or die! Your right I did not say that I just told her to
"trust me mother knows best...."


....each day she tells me how many more days until she's 16! you would think it's because she want to go right to DMV and get her drivers license but NO she not and is not even working on getting her permit.But want she really can not wait for is the sweet 16 party we are giving her ( My sister and I never got one but I want to do that for my two DD's) nothing big it's at the house BBQ food, a DJ and a bonfire is all she asked for. ( I keep telling her we can go to WDW for a 4 day weekend and forget the party and have her b-day at wdw like we did when she was little.)
But NO is all she says back to me:confused3
I have gotten everything I need and ordered everything... now just the wait.....
as I wait I have been looking at things to do at Vero Beach and it does have a lot going on!
I called and got the ADR for Monday night for the pirate dinner and have been looking at all I can about anything to do with the sea turtles.
Hope you all have a good Easter weekend until next time.....have a good one:thumbsup2
 
Hi all so only days until Tori's sweet 16 and now just the waiting game :rolleyes1 I have everything I need but the food and I still have to order the cake and cupcakes.... I know I was to do that last Wed but I forgot.... until my mom asked me if I had order it last night:eek:
But other then that all is good and have been looking at things to do with the girls when we are Vero beach.... where to eat.... looked at a few parks to go to but other then that just can't wait to enjoy the day on the beach :beach:
so until next week have a great one!
 
Anxious to read how you enjoy the longer stay. My mother-in-law lives in Vero part of the year so I can't get convince my husband to use our points to stay at the Disney resort. We really enjoy the area.

How was the beach? Is the beach shallow like Hilton Head where you can walk 100 ft from the shore and the water us still waist deep? We liked the beach in Hilton Head because we felt ut was safer for younger kids who are not good swimmers.

I have never been to Hilton Head so I can not say if it's the same or not but I did not really go in to swim just to play a little and I did not see a drop off right away but not sure how far you can go out b/c4 you get to one..... we never did go out far....
