Here's what happens when your aunt turns 30: you along with 14 other people go to Orlando, Florida for a weekend!
On Thursday my dad woke me up at roughly around 5:30. When I made it downstairs the kids got a surprise. Our parents had been planning a trip to Orlando to meet up with pretty much all of the close (meaning actually related) family members on my mom's side plus on of my aunt's friends Liz.
This was the first time that Peter and Laura had flown and the first time I could remember. There were 15 of us total-talk about traffic jam times 10.
Here's the list of people that came on the trip and their relation to me:
- Mom
- Dad
- Peter-brother
- Laura-sister
- Uncle Eric-uncle
- Aunt Xin- aunt
- Kyle-cousin
- Aunt Julie-aunt-birthday girl
- Uncle Chris-uncle
- April-cousin
- Liz-friend
- Grandpa John-grandpa
- Nana-grandmother
- Omi-grandmother
- Me
DAY ONE:
We flew into Houston where we met up with everyone- we were able to surprise Aunt Julie. Major feat on our behalf. Then all FIFTEEN of us flew to Orlando. There we checked into out wonderful, beautiful, fantastic, and swimming pool equipted resort room. Courtesy of Uncle Chris.
DAY TWO:
Kennedy Space Center. We went on a close-up tour (us being Liz, Dad, Peter, Uncle Chris and I). Everyone in our group of five rode on the launch simulator- lots of fun. Ate and had a great time.
DAY THREE:
We went to Disney World (a.k.a the happiest place on Earth)!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a great time. The lines weren't too long and we learned that it is possible to lead 14 people through Disney World. Amazing. We were at the park all day long and we each had an amazing time. One of the suvinears that our family got was a group of little balls in the shapes of the Winnie the Pooh characters. Peter and Laura were begging for one so mom broke down and got them. My Eeor's tail comes off.
I'll tell you more about the trip soon in Surprise Part II. While your waiting check out my mom's blog to hear more about the trip.
