Orlando

Greetings from sunny (and hot and humid) Florida. Josh and I spent the 4 nights in Orlando. Orlando's city slogan should be "Orlando: A Bail Bond Service at Every Corner". It's a terrible place. Luckily, we stayed at Wyndham Bonnet Creek, which is one of my favorite hotels of all time.
The view from our room. Sorry, Tilly, I didn't miss you.
The hotel is on the Disney property, but we didn't end up going to any of the parks. There's no reason to ever leave this place. It's the best. 2 lazy rivers, tons of pools, restaurants, a sweet lake, and at night you can sometimes see fireworks from Hollywood Studios and/or Epcot, depending on where your room is.
From Wednesday night to Thursday night our friends Joe and Lauren and their son Joey visited us from Gainesville. We all had a blast. Joey is a little ball of energy. He had a great time swimming in the lazy rivers and pools and bonding with Uncle Josh.
Yesterday, Uncle Josh and I went into Downtown Disney to walk around and have dinner. We ended up at a Cuban restaurant called Bongos, which had decent food, but great margaritas.
On our way to dinner.
We unfortunately had to leave this morning, though we gladly would have stayed another four nights (and another four after that). Tonight we're at a campground in Vero Beach, and tomorrow we'll head for Miami.
