Swarty Family: May 2009

April 7th-12th we had a family vacation to Orlando. I went on the 5th for work and Pete braved flying alone with Nora on the 7th. Both of them did a great job. Nora was a little freaked out at the end of the flight because of some bad turbulence. The winds were wild that day. However, both daddy and Nora survived their flight together. We stayed at the Omni at Champions Gate where Pete played a short round of golf, we spent some fun time at the pool and lazy river, had some fabulous dinners, I was lucky enough to get a massage and mostly we enjoyed hanging out with each other. We went Disney World on Thursday the 9th. We are so glad that we decided to go and are happy with our decision to only go one day. We all had fun taking in the scene, eating junk food and of course seeing Mickey and Minnie.... Well, we (Nora) didn't like it at the time but then realized how neat it was. She did cry when it came time to "meet" Mickey and Minnie. The minute we left them she asked us where they went... I could ramble about each detail of the trip but I will stop and simply let you take in the lovely photos below. There are several and for you fellow bloggers you can appreciate the difficulty of arranging multiple photos hence the photos are in not particular order.

We stayed on the 16th floor of the hotel. One morning when we got up we noticed some hot air balloons outside our door. It was pretty cool seeing these things but also somewhat scary as they appeared to be heading towards our building and how do they stop!
