CELEBRATION-2011

We arrived in Orlando after a very long flight (including a layover), me almost getting sick, loosing our bag of all electronics, and Blake screaming for a very long time because of his ears.  Needless-to-say, we bypassed our traditional Target trip and headed straight to the Ballantine house in Celebration.  All I have to say is that is was so great to be HOME!  The warm weather and seeing great friends was just what I needed! 
Grace left the sweetest note on her dresser.  Thank you, Grace, for letting us stay in your room!
The next morning, we headed to downtown Celebration for breakfast at Main Street Cafe.  But for those of us that have known the restaurant from the beginning---it will forever be Max's.
We couldn't get enough of this 80 degree weather!  Blake really loved being outside and taking in all of the sites.   
The little alligator swimming in the downtown pond.  Blake was thrilled to do his "chomp, chomp" sound!
The Celebration Hotel (now named the Bohemian Hotel)
Main Street (which includes the childrens boutique that I worked at, Lollipop Cottage).  I have to say though, it's not the same with the new owners.  
The infamous "fountains", where my kindergarten students and I would stop and play after leaving our week of swim lessons.  It was so sweet to see my own baby playing in the same fountains.
We then headed to Lakeside Park to play with our sweet friends, Melissa and baby Aiden.


We then worked up quite the appetite and ate at our favorite Japanese Restaurant, Seito!  The Winter Park roll is the BEST!
