Disney Danskin Triathalon 2009

Spent a fun (and tiring) weekend in Orlando to attend the Disney Danskin Triathalon (note I said “attend” and not participate).  My mother-in-law participated in the women-only event for the 4th consecutive year.  The event is an exhausting .8K swim, 19K bike and 5K run through Disney’s Fort Wilderness.

Downtown Disney 2009

Another fun-filled family weekend for the Bailey clan! Some good friends of ours from the FSU days were back in-State for a wedding and were gracious enough to invite us to spend the weekend at their timeshare in Orlando. It was a perfect opportunity for an impromptu vacation. We’ve often discussed whether it was worth taking Rosemary to a themepark at this age (15 months), given that she probably wouldn’t remember most of the experience. So we’ve decided to wait a little longer before dropping $$$. However, being in Orlando – we didn’t want to deprive our little one of some Mickey time.  It’s amazing how much mileage you can get in entertaining a young’n given some creativity. One highlight of the trip was a lunch at the Rainforest cafe in Downtown Disney.  Every few minutes, the restaurant comes to life with wildlife, jungle noises and thunderstorms.  More than enough to entertain little Rosemary while we dined.

Anyway, clickthrough for photos:
