Chinese New Year - The Year of the Tiger!

For the past couple of years, we have celebrated Chinese New Year at one of our favorite Chinese restaurant, The Mandarin Court. This year my sister-in-law Stephanie and her husband Fran and my mother-in-law, as well as my sister Lisa, all joined us. My parents were unable to come this year because my mother had just had surgery on her knee. We had a really wonderful time!

Disney World 2010

We just had the best vacation ever at Disney World! Guy, Lizzie, my mother and sister and I all drove down to Disney World on Saturday, January 23. We stayed overnight in Florence, South Carolina and then travelled on to Disney World on Sunday, January 24. We stayed in the Animal Kingdom at Kindani Village. We were very fortunate to have a villa with two bedrooms (one with a California King and the other with two Queen beds). The villa had three full bathrooms, a full kitchen and a washer and dryer. It was a great room!
I could probably write a book on everything we did, but the highlights were Cinderella's Royal Table for Breakfast with the Princesses, Bippitty Boppity Boo Boutique amd just about everything else! It was a little cold in the mornings, but warmed up to the mid-high 70s in the afternoon. I would recommend to anyone who goes to Disney World to get the meal plan, because the food was wonderful in every restaurant. We took over 400 photos plus video, my sister took another 200 plus photos -- far too many to post here! In any event, here are some of the highlights! We are already planning to go back in 2012!
