Chill, Part, Food, & Putt Putt

Today wasn't overly exciting, but more of a relaxing day. My mother had to depart us to get back to DC and go back to work. It was a casual morning as I watched Bolt on TV with my nephew & then we headed off to the airport. We hit up Mickey D's for lunch and came back for a nap. We eventually attempted playing shuffleboard & when my brother got in from his conference, we headed to play putt-putt golf in Kissimmee, where we met up with my grandma who tagged along with us to dinner to Bob Evans. After gettin in tonight & relaxing, I took a swim in the pool and hung out in the hot tub with me and the empty space around me. It was relaxing. Not sure of tomorrow's plan, but I have no doubt it'll be exciting. Nuggets game starts in a half hour. Not sure I like this east coast thing, haha. I've been gettin spoiled I guess in Denver.

Orlando Trip - Disney's Animal Kingdom

So I was thinking before this trip that this will be the last big park that I haven't been to, then driving on our way there I see the Wide World of Sports & say that I guess I have to come back. So I was kind of excited to go to this place because for me it opened in '98, so it was new then and I guess I wanted to go. I mean I can still live my childhood at 24, right? So my brother is here on a conference and so it was my parents & my nephew, which maybe it looked like the 3 yr old was mine to others, but oh well. We started off on a small kid ride and then continued to walk around a little. I took a spin on the Everest ride, which was nothing compared to my kings dominion experiences. After that quick ride, we headed to the Finding Nemo Musical in the theatre and it was a little wait, but worth it cuz we got great seats. The show was kinda lame for me, but I know who it was geared towards. I wanted to see people in big fish customes, but that wasn't the case. Afte!
r we hit
there, we went to pizzafari for lunch. Following our re-energize we went to go on an African Safari. That was cool, but I was on the totally wrong side of the car to get awesome shots, plus we were moving really fast. I did get some shots though. Being with a 3 yr old that loves trains, guess where we went next? Yep, on the train. It took us to the petting zoo part and then we headed back to find Mickey and get a photo op. I think all-in-all it was a good day and my nephew did really well! We rode the "truck train" (aka tram) back to the parking lot and headed home. We hit up the pool for a little bit and waited for my brother to get in before we headed to dinner. After the pool I had a missed call from my bank sayin someone ran up charges in Alabama & Georgia so we had some fraud thing and I told the people that if they end up in Florida, I will find them and have my way with them...maybe the Aligator will have their way too. So anyways, after dinner we went to s!
ee my 90
yr old grandmother who's still kicking. I came back here and had an assignment to get in for my online classes, only 2 weeks left on this current semester. I'm pretty tired from today, tomorrow is not yet planned, but should be fun as well. Stay tuned!

Orlando

Well, I'm on a flight to Orlando with my brother and nephew #1. It should be an interesting trip, but it's sometimes nice just to get out of town for a few days and have a change of scenery. I have a 90 yr old grandmother who lives in Kissimmee, so it'll be nice to see her as it's been a few years. Day 1 plan is to hit up the animal kingdom. Hope to post more later. If I don't check, twitter for instant updates.
