Orlando trip

Kyle was accepted to attend a conference for the Society of Thoracic Surgeons in Orlando.  He was 1 of 20 medical students across the country, so it was quite an honor.  I figured I would tag along bc hello, it's Orlando, FL and I do love to travel.  Actually, I should change that to "loved," but that's another story for another post.

The conference ran Sat-Tuesday.  We enjoyed the sunshine and pool, and while Kyle attended the presentations/events I relaxed, worked out, shopped, etc.  The coolest part was definitely Monday night when they rented out Harry Potter World at Universal's Islands of Adventures theme park.  I've been dying to see it, and it was amazing!  Even more amazing that we had the entire place to ourselves.  We rode the rides a million times, drank free butter beer, and toured all of the shops.

Taking a break to let their stomachs settle

I liked the butter beer!

Amazing

Oh just picking out my wand

Two exciting things to note about this trip:
1- Elder Nelson was there to be honored as part of the 50th anniversary and one of the founding members. Pretty sweet huh?  Kyle tried so hard to get up and talk to him, but he was out of there before the meeting ended.  It's not like he's a busy guy or anything...
2- Kyle rode his first roller coaster.  boom baby!  Besides getting a little nauseated after the 2nd time around, he admitted it was fun.  I'm coming to terms that I'm going to be the only parent riding the big roller coasters with our kids one day.  I've got the tough stomach of the pair.
