Christmas in Orlando

As a Christmas tradition, my parents got a time share in Orlando, which pretty much squashes everything I equate with the holidays...snow, cold weather, snow...I love it!! On the way down, we decided to stay in Savannah, GA for a few days, and I think everyone in my family fell in love with the city. Never would I think about living in the south, but maybe for Savannah I'll make an exception. Plus, if I can meet any of the characters from Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, then I'll pack my bags today. Afterwards, we stayed in Orlando for a week, which was full of sonic runs, sand volleyball, fanny packs, and park hoppers. Ya, the youngest in our group is 14, but we still can't get enough of the Happiest Place On Earth!

The longest running theater in America

A haunted house....or at least our tour guide claimed pretty much every house in Savannah is haunted...and as tourists we believed everything he said

A graveyard that is also haunted by dueling ghosts

A downtown museum

There's something like 24 squares in Savannah. This is one of them.

Oh, it's a photo-off

Sam making his fattiest face at Paula Dean's restaurant. It was pretty scary.


The craziest, steepest stairs heading down to the river. High-heels not recommended. Ask our tour guide.

Probably my favorite machine ever.

Our Orlando digs


Downtown Celebration, FL

Annie's artistic interpretation at Wild Animal Kingdom


MGM's festival of lights...I don't think there's ever been more love on one street

Sarah and I are already discussing our next move to the south. Move over Mickey...we're taking over.
