Easter in Florida

We are in Celebration, Florida, this week. This year we decided to celebrate Easter and spring break with Andy's family. His mom-Carolyn, sisters-Stephanie and Molly, brothers-in-law---Mark and Matt, and nieces--Karson and Peyton.

We left Danville Saturday, March 22 at 7:15. Molly, who is pregnant, Matt and Carolyn, Andy and myself traveled to Florida in Andy's truck. We stopped frequently to stretch and for breaks. After 11 hours, we made it! We crashed for the first 5-6hours, and by noon we were by the pool. Karson and Peyton went to the Mystic Dunes Resort (where we are staying) Easter Egg hunt this morning. Over 2000 eggs were hidden for all the children staying at the resort!

Poolside was where we spent most of our time after the morning nap. Stephanie, Mark, Karson, Peyton, Molly, Matt, Andy and myself all enjoyed a relaxing afternoon reading and lounging. After tanning and playing in the pool, we showered and headed to a seafood restuarant to celebrate Easter and Stephanie's birthday (today, March 23).

Karson and Carolyn had a first experience at dinner. Carolyn has a hard time eating seafood without some sort of reaction, but tonight she tried a few things with no ill effects.

Karson was easily convinced to try crab legs, calamari and mahi mahi. What a trooper; she liked them all!

Downtown Disney is where we decided to spend the evening hours. Enjoy a few pictures of our day. I will try to update daily if time allows.
