Our trip to Orlando 2008

THIS TRIP IS SPLIT UP INTO 10 SEPERATE BLOG POSTINGS. USE THE BLOG ARCHIVE MENU ON THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T MISS ANY!

For the week of June 20th-27th Jamie's work sent him down to Orlando, FL for some Cisco training so Ben, Ava, Grandma Fishy & I decided to tag along with him. When he wasn't busy at his conference we took in some of the sights including: Disney's Animal Kingdom, The Magic Kingdom and of course.... SEA WORLD!!

Unfortuntately, our trip got off to a rocky start with delayed flights, missed connections, and poor rental car customer service. We arrived Friday, June 20th and checked into our hotel the Westgate Lakes. Saturday morning we woke up excited to bring Ben and the gang to SeaWorld. Unfortunately, after we got to SeaWorld Ben decided that he wanted to come down with a fever in the extremely hot and humid weather so we had to cut the day short.

Please continue to scroll down the blog for more details and photos of our trip...

Ben in the shark exhibit just prior to him looking up to see a shark swimming overhead and then falling backwards on his head. The day just went downhill from there.


We had signed up to do a behind the scenes Predators tour of the killer whale and shark exhibits prior to discovering Ben's condition. In the above photo I am petting a baby shark. While the picture was being taken poor sick Ben was passed out on his Daddy's shoulder and missed the whole thing.


Sharks.


This photo is of Ben in his new Disney World t-shirt and was taken when we got home from our trip.
