2015 Year Recap: Part 2

It's incredible 2015 has come to an end. Overall it was an amazing year and I kept very busy with traveling and celebrating weddings, birthdays, new babies and everything in between. I posted Part 1 of 2015 last week so here goes the second half of the year.

July:
We traveled to Las Vegas to celebrate a girl friend's 30th birthday and our fifth wedding anniversary. We saw Tiesto in concert and had dinner at the top of the Stratosphere for our anniversary.


 


August:
Celebrated Kate's birthday at Sunday brunch downtown Orlando.



September:
September was a fairly busy month. K and I flew to New Orleans to celebrate his birthday and explore the city. One of my favorite restaurants we ate at for lunch was Pierre Maspero's.



We went to explore Wekiva Island with Kate and her hubs.



Celebrated some friend's at their joint bachelor/bachelorette party.


Also went to Animal Kingdom with K and enjoyed a safari ride and a few other rides.



October:
My parents came in town to visit for a couple weeks and we went to Epcot's Food & Wine Festival.



K and I went back to Disney the following weekend to explore Hollywood Studios and went on several rides.



November:
We flew to Barbados for a girl friend's wedding which I was a bridesmaid in.



 

While we were in Barbados, K and I took an amazing catamaran boat cruise around the island and then toured the island with friends.



Met Kristen at Epcot while I was there with Pamela and Kerri for the Food & Wine Festival.


K and I also visited Magic Kingdom one last time before our Disney annual passes expired.



We attended our first holiday party a friend's house and got to catch up with all the girls.


December:
December is always a busy month with holiday parties and my birthday so lots of fun was had.

We went to Kate's annual holiday party which included a photo booth so everyone had a blast with that plus the white elephant gift exchange had some hilarious gifts.


My work holiday party at Universal Studios was also an amazing night and Kate came as my date since K was traveling for work.


I got to reconnect with some  college buddies over a sushi dinner and ring in my 32nd birthday downtown Orlando at a bar for a quick drink at midnight.


The girls came out on Sunday the 13th to celebrate my birthday at the best brunch spot in Orlando and I got spoiled with their love and gifts.


K finally returned from his work trip and we had another (late) birthday celebration the next weekend at the Orlando Eye.


Christmas was spent with my in-laws and extended family in Sarasota. It was a nice relaxing weekend with lots of good food and quality time with family.


I have to say 2015 was a pretty epic year and I'm looking forward to what 2016 has in store for us.

I hope you all enjoy NYE night and wishing you the very best for 2016!

  6. Such an amazing year with tons of travel! We didn't have a chance to visit Pierre Maspero's when we were in New Orleans, so obviously, I need to make another trip back soon! I love that y'all met up with Kristen when she was visiting Orlando! 2015 sounded like it was pretty phenomenal, so hopefully 2016 can be even better!
