Our Orlando Trip- Day 1









Well, it all started a few weeks back when Grant and I started throwing around the idea of me joining him in Orlando, during his work conference. Every year, it is in a different place and we figured it would be a while until it would be there again. Plus, I have been out of the West. I was scared to death to fly and to leave all my babies for 5 days!! That is until I found Discovery Cove on the internet, aka swimming with Dolphins-- my dream!! That was the final straw for me! Next thing I knew, I left all my babies for the longest amount of time ever-- at least they were in really good hands!! :) I can't thank my parents enough!! Then I got on a plane for the first time in 8 years-- scared to death!! I hate flying!! The flight was so long- 5 1/2 hours-- way longer than my previous flights to Utah or Idaho. However, it was pretty uneventful luckily, and I was glad to be on the ground, breathing fresh air! Anyway, Grant flew out Sunday for meetings and I joined Grant (in the nice hotel, provided by his company) on Wednesday night. It was gorgeous! On the way, we saw a real pelican? in the grass and it was so cool! It is funny, the things that amuse me! I was totally excited when I went to California for the first time, 2 years ago and I saw orange trees and palm trees! :) I am silly! Anyway, we spent the evening just enjoying the hotel, the awesome pool/hottubs, and just relaxing! It was so fun!
