FINALLY we're caught up!

This should be our last post until the baby comes. After this we are officially caught up and maybe, just maybe, I can start blogging like a normal person again.

(But probably not. Maybe Troy will provide inspiration?)

March 29th - April 2nd Nathaniel got to attend a really neat work conference in Orlando, Florida. The focus was Information Security in the Information Technology industry, which is what he is studying right now for his Masters degree. Following are just a few of his Disney World pictures (where his hotel was).

If you make it to the end fo the blog you get to see a surprise!

The Dolphin Resort, where he stayed.

The famous Cirque du Soleil in "Downtown" Disney (which is not part of the theme park).

I don't know what this is but it was really big.

Still in Downtown Disney, Nathaniel scoped out some toy cars for Troy. Next year, if he gets to attend the conference again, he will bring Cristy and Troy and have a blast!

Just for Cristy :) These magnets even felt spongey, but Nathaniel didn't buy one because it was over $10

Hahaha. I couldn't resist.

Because Nathaniel was all alone, he couldn't stop thinking about family and was reminded of them constantly. Mandy came to mind here with all the dinosaur bone replicas.

And then, of course, a lego statue that reminded me of Scott :)

That's a lot of legos...

Nathaniel don't know why but this one reminded him of Tommy...maybe because he was already thinking about family?

God. He's everywhere.

Yay for the Disney Castle in Magic Kingdom. Unfortunuately, this was as close as Nathaniel got to Magic Kingdom.

The monorail. You can ride if for free ALL DAY LONG.

The resorts were really neat and individualy themed. This one, the Wilderness Resort, was themed after a cabin and was Nathaniel's favorite.

It was on the far end of Lake Disney.

His second favorite was the Animal Kingdom Resort...

where you can see real giraffes and other animals (e.g., zebras) from your room!

Troy boy!You can see his face very well in the upper-left hand side of the screen. Cristy thinks he looks like Nathaniel (my strong jaw line?) but Nathaniel thinks he looks like the main robot from I, Robot. Maybe we're both right?
