We Are Back!

We drove to Florida to join Kara, Bill and Morgan for their Disney vacation.  We stopped in Crestview, FL overnight then stopped in The Villages to visit Marge and Steve, our last neighbors in Cincinnati before we moved to Michigan in 1981.  We had a great visit, lots of laughs, dinner and then stayed in Wildwood, FL that night.  They were leaving on a cruise the next day and we declined their invitation to stay with them.  The last thing they needed was company that next morning.  And there was a beautiful church to attend Sunday morning just minutes from our hotel.  It all worked out great!

We met our family at Bay Lake Towers where Kara reserved a 2 BR, 3 bath apartment for us all.  We were given the master because it had a walk in shower, she and Bill took the 2 queen room and Morgan chose one of the Murphy beds in the living room.  It sleeps 9 so was very roomy for us all.  Our room overlooked the pool area.


Kristin joined us a few days attending a Keys to the Kingdom tour at Magic Kingdom.  We had dinner one night at Wilderness Lodge bringing enough leftovers home for dinner the next night.  We did eat at the Contemporary one night and Kara made spaghetti one night. The kids all have annual passes so bop in and out of the parks at will.  Ted and I rode the monorail and boats to the other resorts, swam in the pool, watched fireworks but didn’t go into the parks.  It is too much walking and too hot!  

On Friday Ted drove us to Port Canaveral to board Disney’s Fantasy, the same ship we took the entire family on 11 years ago for our 50th anniversary celebration.

Google is acting up so I will start a new Post to see if that works better.
