Orlando

Maddie smiles for another picture.

Maddie and I in England in Epcot

Steve had a conference in Orlando. Since his company sponsored it, he was given a ginormous suite. If I am going to travel with him for work, this is the conference to go to. We were on the top floor with a 2000 ft suite. I knew he would be working the whole time, so I brought Maddie with me. He worked from dawn to past dusk, and Maddie and I worked from dawn to past dusk at having fun.

We went to the four Disney parks. It was spring break for most of the country, so the parks were packed. We went first thing in the morning and then came back to our hotel for about four or five hours in the middle of the day and went back to the parks at night. We had a blast. We rode rides, shopped, thought about Dad working, laid at the pool (Maddie swam and I joined her sometimes), ate, and slept a little bit.

Maddie never complained once. She did get her first view of how a room charge works. It is something I have shielded the kids from in the past (for good reason). She informed Cara one night while talking on the phone, that people just bring you fries at the pool. I had to tell Cara that the fries did in fact have to be paid for at some point in time. Maddie loved thinking of all the things Leah would do if she was there. We vowed to come back and bring Leah someday. We had a great time. So thanks to my parents for watching the other kids!
