family vacay part 2

our next stop was back to orlando to check in to our hotel, the peabody.  if you have heard of the hotel before, then you know that it is famous for the ducks they have at the hotel.  everyday at 11, they do this grand march of their 4 ducks to their "station" at the fountains.  mostly an entertainment for kiddos, but kind of neat for adults too.  the whole reason we even took this trip is because bart was awarded for being top sales in his region, and therefore, getting this trip/business conference.  the trip was for bart & i, but when we found out disney world was part of it, we couldn't go without taking the kiddos.  bart, we are so proud of you and are so grateful for this trip! you work so hard and take such good care of us. 

arriving to the Peabody


just like the mountains never lose their beauty, palm trees have the same appeal to me.  i love them!

the pool view from our room

another shot, in the corner you can see the little kiddie section with the baby pool and beach. 
we spent a lot of time there. 

max checkin things out

each night, the company put on dinner/entertainment events.  i went to 2 out of the 3 events with bart kid free thanks to......


this girl, nanny courtney!!  we picked up courtney (who flew out) on our way to the hotel.  she was such a help to me, and without her, i wouldn't have been able to go the evening events.

 


courtney & i checkin out the hotel grounds



the grand ducks




the kiddos loved the pool, and we swam till their hands/feet were prunes. 




sporting the preggo belly




catching lizards, another highlight :)



after a long morning and afternoon of pool time, i told zoe that her and max had to take naps.  she was so worried about missing something, that she insisted on putting on her shoes even for nap time to be ready to go for dinner.  and she slept with them on the whole time. 

court & i went out with he kiddos to a fun dinner/shopping center near our hotel one night




of all the nice restaurants to chose from, guess where we landed.  johnny rockets- greasy burgers, fries, and milkshakes.  oh so good though!  and so kid friendly too! :)  and part 3, disney world still to come!
