Well I guess its time to start my TR. We had quite a summer and several trips. We started the summer off with a two week trip to Disney. One week at Wyndham Bonnet Creek, and one week at AKL. Where we met up and visited with several fellow Fiends, and yes I have pix to prove it. We then had to go to the lake and entertain family and friends for a week. And then a few weeks after that we flew to England. Took the train to Paris, Munich Germany, and then finally to Mannheim Germany. The place were I was born and spent the first seven years of my life. And I still have family living there. Now I'm not a person that takes notes but I do take a lot of pictures so there will be a lot of pictures that I hope you'll enjoy. This won't be a minute by minute TR. It's more of what I remember TR. But if you know me there will be Pood Forn, cute pix of my DD, and pix of some interesting places and things. So let's get started. We flew from Oklahoma City and it was a pretty uneventful flight but it started with a nice surprise for my DD and nephew. DD and our nephew got a tour of the cockpit. They thought it was really cool.
We made it to Orlando and waited to ride our first ride.
The airport monorail. DW, DD, and Nephew
We flew out the night before our rezzie at Wyndham, and stayed at the Embassy Suites Orlando Airport. We let the kids swim while we enjoyed the managers reception. Here's a few pix from the hotel.
The next morning I picked up our rental car and got a free upgrade to the 4runner.
We loaded up and headed out. And in no time at all we saw the sign that always makes me Happy! Happy! Happy!
For the first week of our trip we stayed at the Wyndham Bonnet Creek. It's not a Disney property but it is as close to being on property as you can be. It's across the street from the Caribbean Beach Club and you can see the fireworks at Epcot from your balcony. The resort has 5 pools, two lazy rivers, 5 restaraunts and a whole lot more including a pirate ship. Aargh! Here's a few pictures of the resort and some of our condo.

They showed nightly movies on a grassy area by building one.
We had a two bed two bath condo.
I loved sitting out on our balcony.
Getting close to photo limit so good bye for now. Next we enjoy DTD and some parks with our nephew. It was his first trip. I love bringing kids to Disney for their first trip.
