Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

  • Disney-ish

    It turns out if you want to go to Disney world you need to plan that trip waaay more than a week in advance. Disney is still limiting the number of people into the parks and the earliest we could get tickets for magic kingdom was the end of April.…

  • Putt-putt

    We are trying to balance packing as much fun in as possible but not exhausting the kids. Legoland+Chuck was a pretty large day so we thought we would take it a lot slower and head for some mini golf. Mini golf was a big hit when we went to cavendish…
