Orlando, FL - Day 7 (Epcot)

As if this trip wasn't exhausting enough, posting all these pictures are killing me. I had to take a break for a few weeks just to clear my mind for a bit. Fat chance of that happening. We have stayed so busy that now I feel like I am never going to keep this blog up to date. Maybe our family just needs to stop traveling and doing so much too. I just feel that I never get to see my husband so when he is here we try to cram as much stuff as possible into our little bit of free time that we have together. I know one thing, this is really starting to take a wear on me.

Ok, well our last day on our vacation we decided to go to Epcot. Pop and Nanny didn't want to go so they decided to drive back home. We thought GOOD you can take Gabriella home with you too. She can't ride most of the stuff anyways. Let me just say, it is so much easier going to the park with only 2 kids. A little umbrella stroller is so much easier than a double stroller with the double the weight.In front of the famous Epcot ball. I never knew that it was actually a ride inside. Very dumb ride, but educational none the less
The second thing we did was go to this recycle building. It was actually pretty neat. This was the kids favorite thing and on our way out of the park they begged and pleaded to go do this building again. First you enter into the computer what kind of lifestyle you have and it calculates how much waste you make a year. It then dumps it in your dump truck that you have to push around to different centers and sort out all of your trash. It takes you through the whole recycling process. It was pretty neat
OMG, this ride made me sick. I almost threw up. You were in a rocket that shot you to Mars. I can't pull all of them G's
There really wasn't that many rides at this park, and the ones that they did have were pretty lame. There were a couple that Anthony wasn't big enough to ride so we found a little water sprout out of the ground and let him play in it while Isabel and Dad rode some rides.
I love this picture of him trying to be all GQ spiking his hair
We were getting bored waiting so we nibbled on some pretzels and made nose rings out of them. What we do to pass the time?

11 COUNTRIES
I don't think I would have liked Epcot, but now they have added onto the park making it double the size of Magic Kingdom. They added a separate section to where you travel the world visiting 11 different countries. Not only do they capture the atmosphere of every country, but they actually had real people from that specific country working there. It was cool, but sometimes made a difficult language barrier. Like the Norwegians, their accents were so strong it was really hard to understand them. If you want to eat this is the place to come. Trust me your belly will be exploding after eating at 11 different places.
First off...
MEXICO

NORWAY

CHINA

AFRICA
This actually wasn't a big place. They just had some drums set up walking in between the countries

GERMANY

ITALY

Of course you can't go to Italy with out getting GELATO

JAPAN

MOROCCO

They had a band playing beautiful music and then all of a sudden a belly dancer came out and started wooing the crowd over. After she did her number she invited the kids to come up and learn how. Here is Isabel getting with the groove of things
Maraco was my favorite. It was beautiful, good music, and of course relaxation
even the kids enjoyed it

FRANCE

ENGLAND

Famous for there red phone booths. Gotta love it
Anthony and Isabel always see how loving me and Dad are to each other so they wanted a romantic picture with them in it. Here is me and Anthony
And Isabel and Dad

CANADA

Finally, the END! Did I mention that after we walked around the park for 9 hours, not counting going to the other parks all day for the past 5 days straight, that we had already checked out of our hotel, so there was not relaxation after this. We had to all pile up in the car and drive 6 hours back home. We didn't get back until 4:00 in the morning. Ugh, good thing I didn't have to drive. I slept. Poor Dad, thanks for the vacation it was a lot of fun. But now can I get a vacation from this vacation. I'm beat!

Are you exhausted? I know I am. Dad and I have discussed it that if we ever do this again we will NEVER go to all the parks. We will pick 2 and that is it. We just figured since the military gave us 5 park passes for the price of 1 we might as well take them up on it. Hey, you have to do it while you have the chance, because who knows when another oppurtunity will come up?
