EPCOT and Rest

We dived into a day at Epcot yesterday a little bit limp from a long day at Sea World the day before, but despite our tired bodies and sore feet, we enjoyed our day at Epcot.

Grant liked Epcot more than we anticipated, mainly because he could ride Test Track, Soarin' and many of the other "rides." We spent the morning touring Future World; we left mid-day for naps, and we returned to the World Showcase (and food and wine show) for the evening.

Just when Grant started to bore of the World Showcase (okay, read: stops for "beer flights" and chocolate crossaints), a lady came up and gave him a sword she had found. If you know Grant, you'll know that he loves his weapons, and so this was an ideal gift that occupied him for the rest of the evening. In fact, Grant has three new swords from this trip, only one for which he has paid. In addition, two different ladies at the pool dropped off all of their pool toys before boarding their respective planes, so Grant's been playing with his free toys (including two huge super soaker guns) all week. He is starting to think that toys materialize on demand.

Aside from the rides and free sword, a highlight for Grant was a kiss from Mulan (about the only decent princess, in my opinion). The highlight for us was the sunset dinner at the new Hacienda de San Angel. Yum.

Here are some pics from Epcot.






Today, we're taking it easy by the pool. We have a great pool complex, complete with pirate ship with five slides, a massive splash park, and "big kid" water slide too. Grant's had a few meltdowns this week--the biggest when he missed riding the "big kid" slide by an inch.



The Magic Kingdom tomorrow!
