Summer Vacation

 Our trip to Orlando was sooooo much fun!  We met my parents at their timeshare where we were able to share the condo with them.  John, Alison, Abby, Chris and Lindsay found their own hotels, but they were all beautiful too.

 We were on the bottom floor right in the middle.  You could see the volleyball court and the lake out our screened in patio.

 This walkway went between 2 pools with hot tubs and a sandy beach.



My dad was so very cool in his Kia Soul that he and mom rented for the week.  Ha!ha!

 Uncle John and Gabrielle discovered they had the same shoes on the first day at Sea World.



It was a long walk to Shamu Stadium but so worth it.  The show was amazing!

 The Sea Lion and Otter show was adorable.  We couldn't believe how smart all the animals were.

The dolphin show was alot of people's favorite.

Eliza rode her first big roller coaster.  It was definitely scary, but she wanted to ride again.  We were so proud of her!

I couldn't believe how close we could get to the dolphins.  You could actually lean over and touch them if they came close enough to the side.  Christiana got to go back later with Grammy and feed them fish!

My wonderful parents!

We spent the 4th of July at Busch Gardens in Tampa.  It was a little bit of a drive, we saw 1 show, had lunch  and then the day ended when it started storming and we got completely soaked.  It was quite the adventure getting back to our car. It started out the worst day ever but, as we were running from the tram to our car, Eliza yelled out, "This is the best day ever!"  Here are some pics BEFORE the storm hit.

We spent one evening watching one of our favorites, "Nacho Libre."  Being with everyone, there were lots of laughs!

 

Lindsay gets ready to leave for Vegas for a Salsa Convention.  She says goodbye to the rest of the crew.

 Christiana and Chris on the ferry at Downtown Disney.  Half of us went and saw BRAVE and the other half, SPIDERMAN.

 After a week of parks, swimming, dining, and most of all laughing, it was time to pack up and go our separate ways.  Thank you everyone for coming down south!  We had a wonderful time!
