Well, I left off with us giving away a balloon to a child -- my new tradition in memory of my dad. So we will make our slow walk to our car in the parking lot and say goodbye to Disney World for this year and start our drive for our new adventure -- going back to Marco Island for a week.
As a refrsher, a lawyer I used to work with (he left our firm last October to join another firm), has become a good family friend. This happened when we moved our offices five years ago and we were on the same floor and he saw all of my pictures of Markie wrestling. He stopped and asked where my son wrestled, etc., and then told me his youngest son who was 12 at the time wrestled. He asked if Markie would be willing to work with him one on one and give him some help to get over the next hump. Long story short, we've become very close and last year he offered us his condo in Marco Island any time we wanted it. When we got back, he said we could use it every year, whenever we wanted, as long as he or the family wasn't using it. The whole family is just terrific.
Well, how can we turn down a full week in Florida, in a condo that we don't have to pay for? And, on top of all that, we get to spend time with MickeyNicki here from the DIS (Nicki and her husband Todd)?
Here are a few pics of the condo:

We'll drop off the luggage and then head off to do some grocery shopping -- snacks, beer, water, bread and lunchmeat and fruit to take to the pool at lunch time or to the beach.
Up next...pool time.
