Orlando

Nana and PopPop (Neil's parents) came to visit the first week of June. They got here saturday night. We spent sunday with them, then on Monday, they stayed at our house with Bella, while Neil and I headed down to Orlando for 2 days to OURSELVES!

Here is the resort we stayed at (taken from the screened-in balcony outside of our room)
Neil and I went to EPCOT that Tuesday.
Here, the Jones family traditional picture in "Italy" at Epcot:
Chinese acrobats in "China"
We ate inside the upstairs of this building at a Hibachi restaurant in "Japan"

And here we are with the Epcot sphere as we were leaving that evening. I love the fabulous stain on my belly...ha. it's starting to get in the way :)

Nana and PopPop came with Bella and met us in Orlando on Wednesday morning. We spent Wednesday and Thursday nights there. On Thursday, ALL of us went to Sea World.

The first thing we did was saw the dolphin show. Bella got really freaked out. It was like when the people went under the water with the dolphins, she was afraid they weren't going to come back up! She warmed up to it all though, and ended up really liking it.

We also saw some sting-rays...

Here's Daddy and Bella at the Sting Rays:
We also saw some Manitees...

And Bella's favorite was the SEA LIONS! She LOVED the show, and we went and looked at all the sea lions for a very long time!


No pictures of Shamoo, but Bella really liked it. She just watched and watched. We almost didn't get to see the show, because of a really bad storm. We were just thankful that we were under cover at just the right time :)

We headed back to our house on Friday, and Nana and PopPop left on Saturday.



Good time together....good time alone...just good.
