Our trip to Orlando

Well we just returned from our trip to Orlando for Dave's LCLAA convention. It was nice to stay at a beautiful resort, and relax in the sun and at the pool. I just wish I could of shared it with my daughters and grandchildren too. Here are some of the highlights of our trip.
This is Dave being silly at Universal Studio in the Jurassic Park area. It was very crowded there and we waited in line for an hour to ride the "Hulk" roller coaster. It wasn't that great, Cedar point is much better!!

This was at the closing ceremony for LCLAA, we had a delicious dinner, and it was fun to dress up a little bit.


I told you the trip was pretty relaxing!!



I love this picture at "Disney World of Art" store. It is of Sleeping Beauty... just gorgeous!!





These were our beds, they were soooo comfortable, with 6 little pillows on each bed!! I think I need more pillows on my own bed at home now.
This was the view from our 9th floor room. This pool was so fun, designed with kids in mind. It was only 3 foot deep, and there was also spray fountains all around it for the kids to play in. At night they would put out a big movie screen on the beach and show a Disney movie. They showed Tarzan, Peter Pan and Meet the Robinsons. Dave and I could see and hear the movie from our balcony. Another cool thing was in the front of the hotel we could watch the fireworks from Disneyland at 10pm every night. That was fun, but I still think the best fireworks I've seen lately have been at the Tigers baseball game. They do a great show!!
This was some of the amazingly delicious and fancy desserts we had.
This is Dave with "Marilyn Monroe" at Universal and me with......
Sleeping Beauty at Downtown Disney. All in all it was a decent trip, but its always good to get back home. Bailey was so happy to see us, even though Grandma and Grandpa spoil him when we are away. If I ever go back to Disney, I hope it is with my sweet grandchildren so I can truly enjoy the magic of it all, experiencing it through their eyes.

What a relaxing, beautiful trip. I laughed at the picture of Dad sleeping in the chair. I don't know how many times in my life I have seen him in that exact same position sleeping on the coach, by the pool, at the dinner table. Ok maybe not the table but many other places. So I'm glad he got a vacation. No one needs it like him. And I can't wait for all of use to take a trip together one of these days.

I really love that picture of sleeping beauty too. I have never seen it.

Wait which one is the sleeping beauty and which one is Shelli? I am so confused.
