A few months ago we took a quick trip down to Walt Disney World in Florida and tried to squeeze as many activities that we could in 4 short days. By the time our little worldwind getaway was finished, the entire family was exhausted, but we all had a lot of fun!

I think most people have Walt Disney World or Disneyland on their travel bucket list and I do recommend that you visit at least once in your life. For my family, this was our third visit in 12 years and it has really changed (for the better) over those years. Always something new to see and fun things to do.

We’re big fans of visiting zoos and wildlife parks, so we took the time to visit the exotic animals at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. You’ll find tigers, lions, flamingos, gorillas, zebras, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, hippos, meerkats, warthogs, okapis, vultures, monkeys, butterflies, birds, otters, komodo dragons,  etc. They have a really nice variety of animals to see.

My children loved every minute that we spent there. They were enthralled with watching the animals do their thing. We ran into a few of the zoo keepers along the way and they were more than happy to answer any questions that my kids had. You can tell that the animals there are happy and well cared for.

Today I’m sharing a few photographs with you from our visit. If you ever get the opportunity to visit Disney, you should! It’s just not all about the amusement park rides. Disney has all kinds of other things for you to see and do at any age or stage in your life

During the Autumn season we enjoy taking walks in local parks and throughout our neighborhood community. The colorful fall foliage is a motivator to get outside and enjoy some fresh air before winter arrives. Walking is great exercise for our bodies too!

Last week we took a walk through the apartment complex that my husband manages. He’s been there 8 years and loves his job. He loves the residents in his community which are all friendly and helpful to one another. It’s a great place to work and live!

On the one side of the property there are a ton of colorful leaves. The landscapers where there the day we were taking our walking raking them up and doing some leaf blowing to get them off of the sidewalks. I love how colorful they are and they really show you that Autumn is definitely here.

Do you enjoy going out to see some of the Fall Foliage? We love it and next weekend we’re going to take a drive up north (about 90 minutes from our home) to see some of the colorful foliage there. I really wish that “peak” season lasted a little bit longer than 10-12 days! It’s been gorgeous outside!
