BEST Family Vacation to Orlando Florida

January 7, 2023 Kim Croisant 1 Comment

BEST Family Vacation to Orlando Florida

The best family vacation to Orlando, Florida, in a nutshell.

Though we love the mountains, we chose to vacation at the beach this year. Our time in Florida was exceptional, and we will go back. Here is a stroll through our road trip on the BEST family vacation to Orlando, Florida.

Out of all the pictures I took, this one is my favorite. So natural and a bonus of scenery! They were looking to the right at something – I just wished I knew what caught their eye. I didn’t notice they were doing that until I saw the pic later that day.

I have to say special thanks to Chevy for letting us take a “loaded to the max” 2015 Chevy Tahoe LTZ to Florida and back. There was never a dull moment riding in this Tahoe. It made our time on the road very relaxing, and we felt safe.

We drove to Mobile, Alabama, and stayed the night in an IHG property on the way back. That’s a lovely town. Next time we go to a beach, we may go back here to visit their beaches. I heard great things about the white beaches from the locals –  Gulf Shores-Orange Beach.

Our first, middle, and last activity was hanging by the hotel pool. Believe it or not, swimming with daddy was Brody’s favorite thing to do. This hotel had three pools, but we mostly hung out at the main one. The waterfall was lovely to listen to, and Brody liked swimming under it.

 

Sea World Florida – a BEST family vacation to Orlando, Florida

On the 2nd day of our trip, we went to Sea World. I spent the whole day there and saw the dolphins in motion. That was cool. We all had a great day.

Visiting Clearwater Beach, FL, on our 3rd day turned into an all-day trip. Brody’s second favorite thing to do!! I think he would be a beach bum if we lived close to one!! We ate at a nice restaurant that was within walking distance from the beach and went shopping. It was a hot day for sure!!

I had to get a photo of Brody riding the surfboard at Ron Jon in Clearwater Beach. I believe that’s the original store. My husband went crazy there!! Easy to do!

We went to Disney World on our 4th day, which was why we went to Florida!! We had fun. It was hot but not that crowded. A friend of mine told us that Mother’s Day weekend was the 2nd best time to go with fewer crowds. And it was. Brody wouldn’t or couldn’t ride some of the rides, so we rode the Buzz Lightyear ride another three times.

OMG – my second favorite picture. I asked him to smile, and this is what I got. FB friends and family went nuts over his smile!!

What a cute kid!! Our family vacation to Orlando kept getting better each day we were there.

Cocoa Beach

Our Family Vacation to Orlando, Florida

A couple of days later, we went to Cocoa Beach (oh phew, I spelled it wrong on the pic). Since Brody enjoyed Clearwater Beach so much, we wanted to take him to another one. We mainly walked in the water and just had fun!! I had forgotten what it was like to go to a beach because we went to the mountains on our summer vacations. I loved the beach when I was younger, so completely satisfied with this trip.

Brody is shucking corn at a roadside store in Mississippi on our way home. The owner lets him shuck three stocks of corn, then gives them to him. We bought about $30 worth of jellies and sauces from the store. We probably could have stayed there longer because the owners were so friendly and talkative.

Potty break.

We drove from Texas to Louisiana, Mississippi to Alabama to Florida, and back on our 9-day vacation. We had a terrific time, and memories were made on our family vacation to Orlando, Florida.

    […] We totally were one the go most of the time. But did find time to relax by the pool – which was Brody’s favorite thing to do. On our way home, I got a glimpse of my name on the navigation system like they were telling me, “thank you”. It’s us that wants to thank Chevy and DistrictDrive for letting us “borrow” their vehicle for our family vacation. A trip we will never forget. More on our trip in another post! Most definitely, this 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ SUV Road Trip was a memory that I will be photo booking!! I love showing off family fun. Here is our photos, including our day at Disney from our family vacation to Orlando, FL […]
