Merry Christmas

The day finally came! Another Christmas is here and it was very exciting. To get in the festive mood we went into the city to get a look at the Christmas lights which you can see in the video. Only a couple of days after that and it was Christmas day. I was very lucky to get many cool things that I wanted.

I hope you all had a great Christmas!

USA Holiday - We've Arrived!

After much anticipation, the day had come. Finally our trip to the USA had begun. With a delay in departing Sydney and a missed connecting flight in Dallas, it took us a while to finally get to Orlando.

Fortunately I was getting pretty good at waiting.









We eventually checked into Disney's Art of Animation Resort at 1:30am! As you can see there was no one around at that time.



We stayed in the Cars section of the resort and it certainly felt like we'd been transported to Radiator Springs.

The waffles had Cars characters on them.



The resort area looked like a scene from the movie.






































These guys were from the Finding Nemo part of the resort. Occasionally you can hear them all yelling out "Mine, mine, mine!".




The pool was really good. It even had music playing under the water.



Here's a video of our arrival and what we found around the resort (click here if you can't see the video)




Stay tuned for part 2 of our USA holiday where we visit Disney's Magic Kingdom...

Christmas is Coming!

Now that Christmas is just over a week away, we thought it would be a good time to go and check out some of the good Christmas lights in the area. While we were in Caringbah for Emma's school presentation (she did really really well by the way!), we stopped in to see a special street with some amazing Christmas lights. It was like the whole street was battling against each other.
