Weekend in Orlando

"Oh Daddy, how I've missed you."

All bundled up, glad I brought his hat and some warmer clothes.



This past holiday weekend we visited Steve in Orlando. Steve drove 7 hours from Hurlburt Field and we flew in Thursday afternoon and left early Monday morning. Christian had a few outbursts on the plane ride there and it certainly was difficult trying to manage a large car seat, suitcase, stroller, and baby, but we made it to the hotel. The weather was cold and rainy but it became warmer each day that we were there. On Sunday we even got to take off our jackets and get a little sun. We went to EPCOT twice (my favorite of the Disney World parks,) the Magic Kingdom, and Downtown Disney every night...Ghirardelli hot cocoa anyone? Simply Amazing. Steve held Christian or had him in the baby carrier majority of the trip, as expected. :o) On our flight home we had a stop in Chicago which made for a VERY long day, but Christian was wonderful and slept on my shoulder during both flights. What a good little traveler. The weekend really flew by as they always do when you are having a good time. It was so nice to be able to spend some time together again as a family in between Steve's trainings. A little refresher and encouragement to keep going. We cannot wait to see Steve in 4 weeks when we meet up again at our new base and home in South Carolina. A whole new adventure awaits us!

Oh Yeah! SO glad to see the photos and hear about your trip. So the real question is, Did Steve like the FL version as much as the CA one?

They are different, I think we like Disney World better. (We were actually there in Feb 2008 too.) Shocking, I know!
