Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center

We took a little trip inside the Gaylord Resort yesterday.  After our experience at the Gaylord Resort in Texas, we just had to see what the inside of this one looked like!  The pictures posted are mine.  Excerpt taken from the website.

Address: 6000 W Osceola Pkwy, Kissimmee, FL 34746

Set on 63 acres, this polished hotel with a glass atrium garden is 3.2 miles from Walt Disney World.  There are 3 restaurants, a cafe and 2 bars, including a sports bar with a 37-ft screen. Amenities include 400,000 sq ft of meeting space, an outdoor adults-only heated pool, a water park, and a spa. There's a children's game room, and the chance to feed baby alligators. A resort fee covers a theme park shuttle and use of a fitness center.

Morning Has Broken

~Cat Stevens~

Morning has broken, like the first morning.
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word. 
We drove thru the Smokey Mtns
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlight from heaven. Like the first dewfall, on the first grass. Praise for the sweetnes of the wet garden, Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.
Thru the rain
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning. Born of the one light Eden saw play. Praise with elation, praise every morning; God's recreation of the new day.
And Spring was in the air
Morning has broken, like the first morning. Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird. Praise for the singing, praise for the morning, Praise for them springing fresh from the Word.
So very steep declines coming out of those mountains


But when I woke this morning, it was all worth it.  I opened my shade, and this was our view

I stepped outside into the crisp morning air, and this was my view (see the side mirror on the left side of the picture?)

Another view from our lot

And so perfect was the Bunny Tucker and I spotted, on Easter morn.  Happy Easter everyone!
