Orlando Part 3-Emeril's, Citiwalk & Swimming

I am finally posting the rest of our Florida pics. Some of these are in random order......there were so many that it was taking me forever to get them in the order I wanted them! Here they are.... :)

I made us reservations at Emeril's online before we left Missouri. The food was absolutely FABULOUS!

View from the outside. Emeril's is located at Universal Citiwalk.

Miss Ella pointing at Daddy. I was worried she might be too rowdy for such a nice restaraunt, but she was perfect!

This is a picture of the dining room. There are several seating sections in the restaraunt. We were lucky enough to be right by a window.

This picture and the next one aren't mine, I got them online. But mine turned out a little dark and this way you could see how beautiful the restaraunt really was.

View from the stairs leading upstairs.

The three of us outside, after dinner.

Ella and Daddy on the water taxi from the hotel to CitiWalk (one of the many times we went!)

A little blurry, but this gives you an idea of how the CitiWalk looks at night. It is VERY busy and bright!

Another view....a little less blurry!

The three of us in front of the water. In the distance across the water you can see the Universal Sign.

Happy as can be!!

Margaritaville sign lit up at night (again, at CitiWalk).

You've had the camera in my face this whole trip, Mama!

I'm not a NASCAR girl, but had to take advantage of the photo op ;)
Just chillin' :)

We had dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. on Thursday night. VERY yummy, and a super fun atmosphere.

Ella and Mommy enjoying some chocolate chip cookie dough gelato. Yum-O!

Self portrait of Tom and I, waiting for the water taxi.

Watching the water and the other boats go by. She didn't feel very good that day....can you tell by her face??
How do I look?
Cheese!
My turn :)
We got the chance to take Ella swimming several times while at the hotel. They had three different pools that were all beautiful. She loves being in the water now. Here we are walking to the pool across the piazza.
She's very excited :)
She looks like such a big girl in this picture.
Splash, splash!! She kept bringing her knees way up like this even though the water wasn't very deep!
Ella waiting for the water taxi.
The Universal sign at CitiWalk and the entrance to Universal Studios behind it on the right.
Ella and Daddy, being lazy in the morning before I had to go to class.
I LOVE this picture. My girl giving me kisses.
Oooh, it sure is hot and sunny here. I'm glad I have my sunglasses and my hat!
Another view at CitiWalk across the water to Hard Rock Cafe.
Ella pointing to her new t-shirt. She loves Spongebob (unfortunately) and there was Spongebob stuff EVERYWHERE while we were there. So we thought this would be cute. It says 'My First Spongebob Tee"- Universal Studios. Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a huge fan of characters on clothing, but she was so excited, I couldn't say no :)

We had a great time. It was nice to make a little mini-vacation out of one of my work trips. I love traveling with my family. Ella was such a good girl on the plane. I can't wait til our next vacation!
