FAMILY VACATION ORLANDO, FL MARCH 2009

All I can say about our little family vacation in Orlando is WOW! We had the most amazing time! We arrived in Orlando on Thursday night (03/19) and immediately took Cameron to the pool. It was such a long ride and he was a trooper the whole trip...didn't whine once! We took a nice dip in the pool, then turned in early for our next fun-filled day.
Friday was "Mommy & Daddy's Day". Cameron and Nana Pat hung out at the resort this day playing in the pool, walking the gift shops, and even having a picnic by the water. Mom & Dad got up very early for our day at Discovery Cove. Discovery Cove is a beautiful park in Orlando where you can swim with (and ride) dolphins, sting rays, & beautiful tropical fish. There is a HUGE lazy river to relax in, a beach to hang out on, even an aviary where you have the opportunity to hand feed exotic birds! Jamie and I have been to a lot of cool places, but Discovery Cove has definitely been one of our favorite experiences to date!
When Saturday arrived, it was time to head to SeaWorld! Mom, Dad, Cam & Nana Pat all enjoyed our SeaWorld experience. We saw so many cool things... a massive Clydesdale, hilarious sea lions, sharks, penguins, polar bears, whales, and my favorite, the beautiful dolphins! The Shamu show was awesome and the Seal & Sea Otter show was so cute! But I think everyone's favorite show was the dolphin show! I think Cameron's favorite part of the day was watching the whales and dolphins swim in their tanks. He loved it! However, the biggest kid of the day was Nana Pat. She has always had a fascination with dolphins, and especially, Shamu. It was a great experience for her and we were so glad she could be there with us! We didn't get to see quite everything on Saturday, so we went back to SeaWorld a second time on Monday before heading home! It was a great way to end our vacation!
I posted three slideshows below. The first slideshow shows all the fun we had at The Marriott World Center, which I must say, is a fabulous resort!!! We will definitely stay there again! The second slideshow is Mommy and Daddy at Discovery Cove, and the third is SeaWorld. Hope you all enjoy!
