We went to Orlando over New Year's with my daughter, her husband and his children. Orlando is not my most favorite place. Too much traffic. Too many people in the traffic that don't know where they are going. Too commercialized. But, in spite of all of that, we had a wonderful time. We didn't do any theme parks...only hung out at the pool, did some shopping, and enjoyed each others company. Oh, we did go to the Ice Palace. It was very different, and my thumbs froze.
First, here are some photos of Nikki, Robert, the kids and Blue, their dog.
