We flew to Orlando to hang out with Chuck for a couple days prior to our cruise.

Sara, being the seasoned traveler that she is, booked the end seats in a row of three.  When we got to the airport, they said the flight was full so we figured we're out of luck on having an empty seat between us, but lo and behold, nobody showed up to claim that seat and we had a lot of room available for Cam.


Goofing on the flight
We took full advantage of the seat - of course when Cam was napping he was laying across the seat, but when he was awake and started to fuss, we sat him upright and buckled him in.  He loved playing with the buckle, and once he started to lose interest we gave him the earphones and he enjoyed hanging them off his head and looking like a complete goofball.  We actually left Cam buckled in the seat for the landing and a couple flight attendants passed by and didn't say anything - either Cam looks legit or they were just too tired to bother.

On a side note, he plays with my earphones at home and he actually tries to put them in his ear.  I wonder where he learned that from - I've never used the earphones in front of him.  He must just be naturally brilliant.

Anyways, back to Orlando.  It was great fun staying in Chuck's great condo for a couple days.  He's in a very nice area that has many amenities within walking distance.  There also happens to be a lot of senior citizens in his area, as evidenced by the numerous Seniors crossing signs.  :)

We spent the day at a nearby park with a very nice kids playground and Cam had tons of fun on the slides.  At the end of the slide, he'd just lay there on the bottom with a huge grin on his face.  In the evening, we went down to Downtown Disney and Cam was totally in awe over all the shiny flashing lights everywhere.  He got a little scared at the TRex cafe when the big animatronic dinosaur started to move and growl, but he loved the Lego store's gigantic lego creations.

Overall we had a lot of fun hanging out with Chuck in Orlando.  Take a look at the pictures.
