orange lake resort

about mid march, saad and i drove down to orlando for the weekend to escape the rainy, cold weather in georgia. best decision ever ;)
there was absolutely no rain in orlando, and no need for a sweater or jacket or a heater. it was bright and sunny and felt like summer. i happily wore my flip flops and drank ice cold sodas and even got a little sun burnt. :)

we were only in town for about two full days so we spent a lot of the time doing activities that were already at the resort. we went in the pool for a while and rented a huge tube to float around in the lazy river. we also rented a jet skii and speed boat for an hour. it was my first time to do both and i was super nervous because i can't swim and am really just terrified of the water. but i put my trust in saad, and the life jacket, and just went for it. ;) i was disappointed in myself that i'd never done jet skiing before because it was so.much.fun. i'm already looking forward to doing it again!

i guess this weekend was full of firsts because one of the afternoons when we were taking a break from all the water activities at the resort, we set out to go on a helicopter ride. in orlando, these are pretty popular and an easy find. we drove by a few signs before finally stopping at one, excited for our first helicopter tour together. :) saad has riden in one but that was a few years ago. since it was my first time, he had me sit up front to get the full on experience. it was a bit windy that day, so the helicopter was a little shaky as it circled in the orlando sky. i was nervous and scared, but enjoyed it as much as i could. we definitely want to go on another helicopter ride. just not when it's windy. ;)

orlando was a whole lot of fun and i know we'll be visiting again soon.
