Amanda has always been talking about wanting to go kayaking for months.  So when Shing & May told us about the Downtown Boathouse on Saturday.  We had to go try it out.   What an experience it was.  I do not know how to swim, but i don’t care.  You only live once, right?!?!   The best part about this Kayaking is that its FREE and even Dylan get to join us.   He was with Amanda on the same Kayak.  She didn’t want him to have his own paddle, just in case he decides to be to playful. lol.   Good Times!!!!

Who wants to join us next weekend???

yes, that’s the entrance to the secret underground Men In Black headquarters.

Location:  Pier 40 Hudson River Park (West Houston Street & West Side Highway) …. Hudson River, New York City

I’ve never been to Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  So this past Saturday, the closest thing would be to go to the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning.    It was such an amazing event getting to see so many awesome balloons flying up in the sky.  Here’s some images to share.   Good Time!!!

To conclude our trip.  It was just awesome.  Had a wonderful time.  Watching Dylan enjoying himself made the trip 100 times better.  Yes it was HOT.  Yes it was SUPER humid.  But you know what, it’s Florida and it’s July.  It supposed to be HOT.    If you haven’t yet, check out my previous post about my Disney Trip.

Day 1  at Animal Kingdom - Disney World | Orlando Florida

Day 2 & 3 at Magic Kingdom | Disney World

Day 4 & 6 at Hollywood Studios | Disney World

I like to thank Harvey & Jo for hooking us up with the Parking Pass….  when can we come over for dinner to say Thanks??!  I got some nice bottles of Red Wine for you to try…

Here are few more images from the Disney Trip.

After three days straight of fun at Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom. We were not ready to stop.  Day 4 and Day 6, we headed to Hollywood Studios.  Yes, we did rest on Day 5.

We got to meet characters like Buzz Lightyear,  Woody and Mr Pototohead from Toy Story,  Mike Wazowski from Monster Inc and Mr. Incredible from The Incredible and many others.  Good times!   We even got to watch a  small film about the story of Walt Disney, how everything started.  It is just amazing how his dream comes to reality for the world to enjoy.

Oh, my father in law and I were recruited to be in the show during the Studio Backlot Tour.  HAHA! (Below Picture # 5)  Notice the rain gear?!  yes we got freaking wet.  It was awesome.  Good Time!!!

Fastpass RULE!!!   Disney World Magic Guide iPhone/iPad Apps RULE too.

Here’s some images from Hollywood Studios.

After a fun and exciting first day at Animal Kingdom.  Our second and third day were at the Magic Kingdom.   This is where fairy tale comes to life.  We had a reservation to meet the characters, Winnie the Pooh and company, for lunch at The Crystal Palace.    (credits goes to Amanda for doing all these arrangements).  Just like day one at Animal Kingdom, the food were awesome… And so was a tall glass of ice cold water with full air conditioner. Yes it was HOT that day.

Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Cinderella, and many other more we got to meet.   It was so great watching Dylan interacting with them.  It was priceless.

Who goes to Florida in July?? Me, that’s who.

So two weeks ago, we (The Lo Family) took a 7 days 6 nights trip to Disney World in Orlando Florida.   We also invited my in laws to join us since they live 9 hours away.  Since they don’t get to see their grandson much. We thought this would be an excellent idea.

We didn’t stay at the Disney Resort, but we did stayed at a very comfortable resort just 25 miles west from Disney which we have banked into RCI. (yes we owned a studio at a resort that we purchased years ago when we were vacationing at Mexico).

We purchased 5 days pass to the theme park.  First day (Sunday) was at  Animal Kingdom.  Amanda made a breakfast reservation at the Tusker House Restaurant months in advance so that we can meet the Disney characters without having to deal with the heat or waiting on lines.  It was so worth it.   You get to eat some awesome food (all you can eat baby) and some cold air condition.  The characters would come around to say hi, sign your autograph book and pose for pics.   Did I mention the food were pretty good?!!   Animal Kingdom is like the Bronx Zoo but 100 times better.  Took a ride into the safari seeing elephants were pretty amazing.

The Tree of Life!!!
