About this blog

My first trip to Orlando was in 1992 when I was five-years old and my brother was three and a half. We loved it, but all that we can remember of the trip now is what we have on video and in pictures.

I then went on a school trip to Orlando in 2001 and completely fell is love with the place. For years I asked my parents to let me plan a trip down there but they weren't interested. I continued looking into different options, though.

Then it happened... my parents decided to rent a house, drive down to Florida with Oreo, and spend a month in the area. A month FAR exceeded any expectations I had for a return family trip to Orlando. We got to see and experience a lot of what Central Florida has to offer. We eventually felt like locals!
