A few months ago my parents told me they were heading down to Orlando with Gma for a conference and wanted to know if Christi and I wanted to come down for a few days. Since the two of us haven't been there together since we got "married" in 3rd grade (yeah, that's not a joke ... the ring is hanging from the rear view mirror in my car), we jumped on the opportunity to go back.

For those that don't know, ESPN is 80% owned by Disney and since we are under their umbrella, we get some pretty nice perks when we're down there. Once I found out how nice and cheap everything was, not to mention 90 degree weather in early March, I can't believe it's taken us over three years to go down there.

The first two days were pretty fun as we hit up Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Even though I hadn't been since 3rd grade, I still remember a lot of the older rides. Props to Disney for implanting that in kids' minds when they are of that age.

On our last full day, dad and Gma were in and out of conferences until the evening so mom, Christi and I packed in as full of a day as we could. We first went to the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex where the Braves have their spring training. Even though they were out of town that day, we were able to walk into the stadium and get a view of some minor leaguers play long-toss in the outfield. After that we went to Animal Kingdom for a few hours then made our way over to Hollywood Studios for another few hours before meeting back up with dad and Gma for dinner.

As always, vacations fly by faster than you expect, but Christi and I have already been talking about planning our next trip back down there. Huskers have a bye week in the middle of October ... any takers?

Pictures are up.
