Day 1021: Orange Lake

We've been up since 3:30 am.  Everyone is exhausted, but so happy to be together.  Eight are already here (Nancy, Laurie, Steve, Jenn, Rob, Mackenzie, and us). Jeremy and Kendall arrive tomorrow and then their son Jason and girlfriend Michaela come in on Tuesday.  Originally, our plan was to support Nancy on her first anniversary without her husband.  Now, the family vacation has also become important for Rob, who lost his mother two weeks ago and Mack who has lost two grandparents this year.  And for my brother Steve who works a horrible job 70 hours a week and hasn't had a vacation in a year.

This is a gorgeous resort located just a short distance from Disney's Magic Kingdom.  The main attraction for us: the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!  Our suite has three huge bedrooms with full baths, kitchen, living room, dining area and screened patio.  Just a few minutes' walk away are two pools, a lake, restaurants,  shops, tennis courts, golf courses.  Unbelievable!  We've never done a resort.  Family will make it fun.

I still haven't figured out how to upload photos to the blog when I use the iPad.  So, I'll have to add the photos later.  Sorry.
