Well, we are here and settled now, so it's about time I showed you guys where we live. Sorry for the long post again, but at least it's pretty much all pictures this time.
Our Condo is actually normally a vacation rental. You can check out the website for our resort here to check out how awesome our amenities are. It's a beautiful place, we get a pool, fitness center, the works! Sean took a video of the apartment the moment we arrived. We were both surprised by how nice it was, even though it's small. Unfortunately, both of us made mistakes of recording videos the wrong way on our phones, and now we can't figure out how to rotate them, and blogspot gets confused with the dimensions. Since, I don't care enough about it to spend hours figuring out how to fix our videos, you guys will have to miss out on the tour for now. Please skype us and we'll show it to you! We'll probably post a better video later.
Because we don't have our free passes to Disney yet, and we live in a tourist area, it's been hard for us to find things to do. We spend time at the pool and fitness center, and we enjoy having cable for the first time ever, but we have none-the-less become pretty creative. One of the first things we felt we needed to do was eat Gator.
Of course it was cut up into tiny pieces, covered in inch-thick breading and deep fried, which makes just about anything taste good. I thought it tasted like really tender chicken, and only hope it wasn't bad for the baby. (haha jk, it's totally fine.)
On our second day, we decided to visit Downtown Disney, because it's free, and I remember really loving it. Luckily, they had limited options for baby boy outfits, or I would have gone on a splurge at the Disney store. We mostly just walked around the stores and really enjoyed the lego sculptures.
Disney pillow pets
Prince Phillip, possibly the most underrated prince in Disney history. I mean, look at THIS!
Dopey is not in this sculpture, he's with snow white next door.
What a hunk. I mean, Hulk.
We also saw this glass worker, which was pretty cool. I actually remembered this from the last time I was at Disney world, like 6 years ago, and hunted it down.
Just yesterday, we went back to Downtown Disney for a car show. Sean loves cars, so he was all over this. We made sure to take pictures of our favorites to show Sam and Austin in particular.
Naturally, because this is Disney, the car show had a "Cars" theme.
This monster truck was so much bigger than it looks in this picture. There's actually a run-of-the-mill ladder sitting underneath it, that's the only way the driver can get in and out.
More Cars stuff...
Lightning McQueen, Awesome!!!
Sean's thumb somehow got lost in this picture.
Every time we take a picture of something, we're likely to get someone else's kid in there too.
Lamborghini Gallardo
Not sure, but I think this might be a Gallardo too.
Ferrari F30
Actually, I kind of wish we took more pictures. I really enjoyed classic vintage cars like the Chevy Bel Air and stuff. There were so many cars!
We've also explored Disney't Boardwalk. Unfortunately, we forgot to take pictures there, besides this cool picture Sean took of one of the resorts.
And...we found out where Sean will be working! Exhibit A below. This job is awesome.
The sculpture in front of the building. You can't see it too well, but it's all seven dwarfs walking in the door.
Another fun thing we got to do was visit the beach. We can pretty much pick a direction, drive an hour, and hit the ocean. We picked east this time, and ended up on Cocoa beach. We had a blast, it was my first time swimming in the Atlantic, and we both suffered for an entire week from the worst sunburns ever. In Utah, I only had to wear SPF 15 on my face, and 4 or 8 everywhere else. Here, I wore SPF 30 to be safe, and still got fried. Sean put too much confidence in his dark skin and wore no sunscreen. He is peeling something fierce.
We also found this great bar/grill by the water called "Coconuts on the Beach." We don't know if that name is supposed to be inappropriate or not, but we loved the fish tacos as well as virgin pina colada and banana daiquiri we ordered. We got to keep the glasses too!
So basically we've been on vacation this entire time. Sean starts work for real tomorrow, so we are going to have to settle down into a regular routine. We ready for visitors now! Come on down!
