We flew to Ann Arbor for lunch. Here are some shots from the air.
We arrived safely and took some shots next to the plane.
The flight took an hour to get there and then slightly longer to get back. All in it was a good flight.
Now for the mail attraction...Disney World!
We thought the Epcot Center would be interesting, but we were a bit disappointed because it was the oldest park and looked it. They had a new attraction around Finding Nemo, but apart from that, we would have been better of going to one of the newer parks. We did have a good time nonetheless.
Entrance to the park.
Dolphin exhibit in the Finding Nemo attraction.
The lake around which the World Showcase was built with restaurants and shops in country themes.
Steven Curtis Chapman was there too singing Christmas carols. You can't see him from these shots, but I guarantee it was him :)

On Day 2, we went to Universal Studios, went on some rides and enjoyed the sun.
Almost lost my glasses and hat on this ride...
Dr.Seuss Land
Watched a mini version of the Macy's Parade.
Watch the sun go down at "Fisherman's Wharf"

Orlando, Florida is home to 3 main theme parks: Disney World, Seaworld, and Universal Studios. You can spend weeks visiting each park which have activities for everyone young and old. There are also lots of things to do out side of the parks, one of them being Fantasy of Flight which houses one of the largest collections of early period and WWII airplanes.
The plane to the left is a Mustang in the colors of the Tuskegee Airmen who were a squadron of african-americans who overcame racial discrimination in the Army Air Corps and became sought after by bomber groups for fighter cover as they flew bombing missions over Germany in WWII. The Tuskegee Airmen never left the bombers to pursue enemy planes which tended to expose the bombers to other enemy aircraft in the area, but stayed with them to fight off the enemy.
Some more planes:
After seeing all these planes, we headed to eat all you can eat LOBSTER!
