Weekend Getaway-Orlando, FL

Cor and I spent a weekend together in Orlando on March14 -17th. Last year Cor won the Master's Award at work and part of the award is attending the Annual Honor's Meeting. Last year the meeting was held on a cruise ship in the Bahamas, and this year the venue was a beautiful hotel in Orlando. While I loved the cruise, we had more "free" time in Orlando, and if you have even been on a cruise you know the rooms are tiny! The room at the Rosen Shingle Creek was huge, roomy, and gorgeous! Cor had to attend a 3 hour meeting on Saturday morning, I had to attend for 1/2 hour to be thanked by the CEO for helping my husband help the company...and the rest of the weekend was ours to do whatever we wanted. There were receptions every evening which we wanted to attend for the food and drinks. Oh, and we each got spending money and I won a $100 raffle. Not bad at all!

The back of the hotel. It had gorgeous, well maintained grounds. On Sunday afternoon we walked the nature trail

Saturday afternoon Cor and I spent our time in Winter Park. While a lot of the people at the meeting braved the tourists at the Orlando Parks, Cor and I chose to tour the lakes in Orlando on a pontoon boat. It was the best $10 that we spent. It was a pleasant day and there's nothing like being on the water looking at people's beautiful estates!

Florida landscape, bamboo trees~ reminded me of high jumping in elementary school

Mr. Roger's neighborhood~ were he lived

so peaceful

We had such a enjoyable weekend together, and our kids had fun where they stayed as well. Arianna went to her cousins house in Vero and got to go to the Kennedy Space Center and Sea World...not a bad weekend for her! and Asher and Julianna went to my friend Michelle's. Asher had a blast with the 2 boys and Julianna played with Gracie when they weren't fighting and arguing! Thanks for having them.
