Walt Disney World 2006
July 7th - July 13th

This was a fun vacation.  On July 7th at 6:15am, we drove from Houston to Pensacola Florida to stay at a hotel right off of one of the islands with a great beach view.  The next day we drove to Orlando, Florida to stay at Fort Wilderness Camp Ground on the Walt Disney World Campus.  The cabins have a full kitchen, are spacious and separated from each other which gives a nice feeling of being out in the deep woods.

On Saturday evening we picked up Johnna from the Orlando Airport.  Johnna unfortunately missed out on the Pensacola beach because of Realtor ~ House closing.  Also on the trip were good friends Phil and Margaret Simpkin along with their two twins, Lorna and Craig.  Their oldest daughter, Fiona, was vacationing back with family in England and Scotland.
