This was taken on Katie's 30th birthday back on February 8. Lacy and I surprised Katie by taking her down to Orlando for her Birthday. We had a really good time. Lacy loved everything and rode a lot of rides, including peter pan, snow white, dumbo, and pirates of the caribbean. Lacy couldn't quite make it to the end of pirates, she was sitting between katie and I and just dozed off, the combo of cool air and darkness did her in.

We did a lot of walking while we were there and walked to a lot of the resorts. We went to Saratoga Springs, Wilderness Lodge, Contempory, Polynesian, and Grand Floridian. We also went to Downtown Disney.

Although we went on a lot of rides Lacy's favorite time was playing on the playground in the Magic Kingdom. She had a great time there. That day she started sliding down slides by herself for the first time. The next day she was going down a tall twisting slide at Saratoga Springs all by herself. I'll try to post a picture of that above this post.

All in all we had a great trip. We drove down and made the trip from Memphis to our hotel in about 12.5 hours. We really only made one big stop and that was in Montgomery at the Fresh Market grocery store when we stopped for about an hour there just to let Lacy walk around and have some fun without being in the care. She was amazing. She didn't cry the entire drive! We had bought her a little portable dvd player at Christmas and she watched a lot of her disney movies and her sesame street dvd and she was captivated. On the way home she only cried once and it was for a total of probably 30 seconds. I couldn't have asked for a better little girl to travel with. I guess we go so many places with her all the time that she really doesn't mind. Half the time I think she can't wait to get in the car and go somewhere.

The night of Katie's birthday we actually were able to meet Karen and Eric and go eat at Downtown Disney at the Portabello Yacht Club for dinner, followed by an evening of fun at Ragland Road, an irish pub. Meanwhile Lacy was with a baby sitter at our condo/timeshare at the Fairfield Bonnet Creek. Lacy never actually got to see the baby sitter though because she was asleep when she got there and still asleep when she left. The baby sitter we used was through a company called Kid's Night Out. She was very nice and was actually disappointed that Lacy was asleep when she got there. If any of you go down to Orlando I'd suggest you contact these guys. I thought the were really good and seemed very caring while still being affordable.

Overall this was a great trip for a long weekend. I just wish we would have had about 3 or 4 more days.
