We got to go to the most magical place on earth this past week: Disney World in Orlando, Florida. We stayed at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa, which is fashioned after a famous park in New York. The trip was a whirlwind of outstanding cuisine and entertainment, tons of walking and definitely lots of sunshine. We left on Sunday morning, October 9, for FL. The 3.5 hour flight was pretty uneventful, but it sure felt long. After arriving at the airport, we didn’t have to worry about much since Disney does such an awesome job to keep their patrons happy. We took the “Magical Express” right to our hotel, didn’t have to worry about anything, and checked in to our luxurious one-bedroom suite with a huge double bath, large kitchen and amazing views of the fountains around the grounds. We were also right next to a pool, so we pretty much went straight there as soon as we got into our room.
So our AZ trip was a great success. I went out the Tuesday before Easter, and Jake met up with us 2 days later. My brother and his wife and daughter came, my parents, my cousin Kristy and Aunt Pat and Jake and I had a super fantastik Easter in the Arizona heat…we hiked, we ate, we drank (well some of us were on a cleanse and couldn’t drink – but mostly that was just me), we partied, we ate some more, we swam, we drank and ate some more, oh and we took over 700 pictures of miss Lucy, who was the star of the trip. She was so cute and happy the whole time and she just LOVED the pool. My parents have a hot tub and pool in the backyard (As is required in the city of Tucson, AZ). So it was a really fun (lucy-centered) trip.
