So, back to winter we went! <img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2609" title="20100206_airport" src="http://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100206_airport-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100206_airport-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100206_airport.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />The flights back were mostly OK, although Anna was so tired by the end of the second one that she cried for most of the last half hour…and then conked out just moments before we landed. Which meant I carried a very soundly asleep (and heavy) baby off the plane! So, we’re back in Rochester, where it’s cold…but cold like February is supposed to be. And now we need a vacation from our vacation!

The Nemo ride was a huge hit with the girls, and Anna has found a new favorite character: “Nee-Moh!” We walked around the giant aquarium, and saw lots of really neat fish. I herded everyone into the Turtle Talk with Crush show, which was “totally sweet, dude!” Really, it was hilariously funny and something to put on our don’t-miss list for next time! <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="225" src="https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100205_the_land1-300x225.jpg" class="attachment-medium size-medium" alt="" srcset="https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100205_the_land1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100205_the_land1.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="225" src="https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100205_the_land3-300x225.jpg" class="attachment-medium size-medium" alt="" srcset="https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100205_the_land3-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100205_the_land3.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="225" src="…

One annoying thing was that the ride kept stopping (sometimes several times in a row, just a little bit apart). We think it was to help passengers with limited mobility load, but the annoying bit was more that they kept announcing that the ride was stopped and to stay in your seats while the narrator was talking, so we’d miss important bits of the story the ride was supposed to be telling.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2545" title="20100203_spaceship_earth" src="http://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100203_spaceship_earth-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100203_spaceship_earth-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100203_spaceship_earth.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw,…

It was amazing! Because we went so early in the day and the weather was so mild there were so many animals out and about. We saw elephants, lions, hippos, giraffes and flamingos. And an Okapi. And then we walked through one of the trails and saw even more animals, including lots of exotic birds and fish. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="225" src="https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100201_safari1-300x225.jpg" class="attachment-medium size-medium" alt="" srcset="https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100201_safari1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.sarahsthreads.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100201_safari1.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="225" src="https://ww…

We rented a CARES harness for Anna, which didn’t fit as well as we’d expected, but it was OK. For the most part the girls enjoyed the flight and were very well behaved. We got to Orlando in time for lunch, and then we headed for the Magical Express bus. Anna was beyond thrilled to be riding a bus – much happier than she was about the plane! The bus ride was pretty long, and we stopped at a few other resorts before we got to ours, but finally we reached the Contemporary.<img…
