Florida in March

(Molly Post)

The day after my birthday, I had to fly to Orlando for a business trip. I spent the first half of the week working at a wireless conference, but my Mom joined me half-way through the trip. After the conference ended, she and I switched hotels from Universal Studios (that NBCU was paying for) to Disney World!

We went to Epcot Thursday afternoon, as soon as my work stuff ended. We had a fun time going from country to country in the World Showcase, trying something new in each place. There were topiaries of Disney characters all over the park - we took a picture of nearly all of them, but one of my favorites is below. My mom and I also got someone to take a picture of us with "Paris" in the background, one of our favorite spots in the park.



The next morning, we woke up very early to go to Magic Kingdom. We wanted to get through most of the park by midday so we could drive down to Naples sooner (my dad and Lily were waiting for us there). As we waited in line for the teacups, Disney employees came around to give everyone free mouse ears (promoted Disney's "Year of a Million Dreams").

By about 2 PM, after we had gone on most of the rides in the park, we got on the road for Naples. I had a wonderful few days at our house there, relaxing, going out for meals with my parents, and playing with Lily. Isn't she cute!?
