Cheryl and I took a week off to take Zoe down to Florida to visit Nana and Poppy for her birthday. We flew in to Orlando on Wednesday and spent two days in Disney World. I'm not sure that Zoe noticed where we were, but she had a good time. The place we stayed had two bedrooms and a small kitchen.
The first day we went to the Magic Kingdom. It was probably a bit too cold to wear shorts, but I was just super happy that it wasn't snowing and the temperature was in double digits. Zoe's favorite things were the random ducks, the ropes that guided folks through the lines and throwing mommy's money in to the fountain. And, just like the Mummer's parade the year before, she fell asleep during the Magic Kingdom parade.
On the second day we went to the Animal Kingdom park, which was probably a mistake. There was a musical version of Finding Nemo, which Zoe actually made it all the way through. Then there were some animals and a parade, which Zoe also fell asleep during.
Once we got back to Nana and Poppy's house, it was time to celebrate Zoe's birthday. There was an excellent Sesame Street cake and again Zoe was great about blowing out her candles.
After her cake, Zoe got one of her favorite gifts. A brand new tricycle. You can see how happy she is to ride it around.
The rest of the week we went to a number of different playgrounds and parks in the area as well as the Tampa Aquarium.
It was a great trip, but we made a miscalculation on the flight home. We both assumed that because we were flying out late, that Zoe would go to sleep and we would just put her in bed when we got home. Well, we didn't get home until around 11:00pm and Zoe was still awake. Now we know better for next time.
