Family Trip to Disney World

In January of this year, we went to Florida.  I really recommend that if you go, January is the best time.  Jason, Megan, Nic, Malia, Phyllis (my mom) and I drove down in our van.  We met my Grandmother, Grandfather, 2 cousins and an uncle there from Pennsylvania.  We stayed on Disney property at the All Star Music Resort.  We spent a day at each of the 4 big parks... Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.  Our favorite was Magic Kingdom the last day we were there.

This is Megan, Malia, Jason and Nic in front of the hugh drum set at the hotel.

This is Tim (uncle), Emily (Tims daughter), Amanda (cousin), Nic, Megan , Phyllis (mom), lounging at the pool, watching a late pool side movie on a big screen.

Malia checking out our room.  We got a famiy suite.  It was really nice for the price.  We had 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, bedroom and living room with fold out couch and chairs.
