The Brookharts are going to Disneyland! It's time for Peter to take on the Dopey to Dumbo runDisney Challenge and we are SO ready. The travel day begins with a coast to coast flight, followed by checking in to the Villas at Disneyland Hotel. Vacation mode is our favorite mode! Our Disney Vacation Club deluxe studio is so beautiful and Trader Sam's hits the spot. It's the calm before race storm, so we take our time enjoying Downtown Disney and the resort (especially room service!).
Hi! We are Peter, Sarah, James, and Theodore Brookhart and we live in Orlando, Florida. Our cute little puppy’s name is Eve. Together we strive to find the extraordinary in ordinary life.
