Last Trip? It was until we met Food & Wine -- Recap 2/12

[LisaKeys]

I loved all of your photo's from Marco Island. It wasn't the way it had been planned, but what a marvelous way to unwind and just lay back and relax after your time at Disney.

How cool to see a Manatee, right there near you! I just love Manatees.

I like your new tradition of a photo of you and Mark at the dock for the end of Marco time.

Looking forward to your Recap of Disney, and as always.... "read you soon". (I'll miss my little pic of sitting in front of the computer - lol) Trying surfweb to see if it works. probably not Font colors don't work, either.

Love your pictures of Marco Island. Looks like a lot of relaxation! I could so use a beach or a pool right now, but if I go for a swim it's going to be a cold one!!

Awww.. that manatee looked so cute!

It sure looks like you ended your vacation in a relaxing way. Really nice!

 

[SarahDisney]

Yay! A manatee! I love manatees, so I'm happy to see the pictures

All the pictures look so beautiful. You're making me want to visit Marco Island - you should work for their tourism board! It looks like it was the perfect way to end a great vacation.

the concept of getting to start 3 PTR is very cool!

Also cool is getting to see that manatee!

I love the location of the pool right by the waters edge there. Sounds like you had a nice and relaxing time at Marco Island - often I find I need a vacation after my Disney vacation so this concept sounds wonderful to me.

What a relaxing way to end your vacation! I want to be laying on at a pool right now... as I watch more snow coming down outside!

I'll be back for the responses in a bit, but I started the first of my three PTR's (no I am not doing them all at the same time). The title is: No Trips in 2015 turns into 3 Trips in 2015

SOME OF YOU DID NOT GET A BAT SIGNAL FROM ME BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T LET ME START A CONVERSATION WITH YOU???? So please don't think I forgot you.

I wish I could jump into those pictures right now. I'm freezing my butt off in NY and would love to be near palm trees

Hi Kathy! I'm all caught up...just in time for you to finish! lol

I'm so sorry about your mom and the other difficult times your family has been through lately; sending a lot of positive energy your way!

Looks like you had a great Food & Wine/beach trip...what a great combo! We are Food & Wine addicts as well so we know how it is to be bitten by the bug. Once you go it's hard to resist going back!

Boy did Mark get tan by the end of the trip!

 

[MissMaryQC]

What a great trip in Marco Island! I'm sure it was lovely to get to relax in the tropical weather after a WDW trip. I love that you had so many visitors (wing-ed and reptilian the like). Living in South Florida you kinda forget how pretty the state really is!

Kinda sad it's over, but now I have your PTR to follow!

 

[Gracefulskinny]

Marco's Island looks quite restful and fun.

 

[vettegirl]

My goodness I think next trip to Florida I will direct myself straight to Marco Island. Love all the wildlife pics, looks like a relaxing time was had by all.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Lots of pool time at Marco Island...looks nice and relaxing.

And you saw a manatee in the wild! How cool is that?

 

[jedijill]

Love all your Marco Island pics!

[schmass]

More awesome pictures of Marco Island! You guys are smart to have a relaxing vacation after the fun, busy WDW vacation!

 

[disneygirlll]

Another great post and pictures. So cool to see a manatee out in nature, (that's not in a tank eating lettuce.)

 

[petals]

Trying to catch up on all the trip reports I missed last month when I was sick!

Luvin the Lumiere you got for your birthday. There's a chip cup as well I wanted him but they were sold out in Disneyland

Chip and Dale in their littler cowboy suits at the opening ceremony made me smile.

I still need to find that Goofy bench as well. Every time we go I look and fail to find him

Agh love the magic shot with Lumiere as well Your Gaston pictures reminded me of when we did the musical. Our Gaston's hair got higher every night lol!

Love all the Marco Island pics as well

I'm sorry I didn't get back with responses. My computer crashed at work and I was without a computer until almost 2:30 this afternoon and then had to get my work done. If I get a chance in between shopping and packing tonight for our trip to Dubuque tomorrow, I will try to get them done tonight. If not, I hope everyone has a good weekend.

And I think that I have finally caught up on everyone else's TR's. If I've missed yours, please let me know.
