Day one pictures

There is just so much to share, I'm going to have to do it in parts one day at a time. First however, click here to see a photo montage of the wedding and reception.

Day 1: Travel Day

No pictures here, I left the camera in the room, but thanks to my Mother-in Law, we stayed at the Gaylord Texan. Once we were safely ensconced in our room, we ate dinner (again) as we were sent leftovers from the reception and talked about how well the entire day went. We also worried that since we didn't do a reception line we had missed visiting with people at the reception. I think I hit everyone, but I highly doubt it. She had the same feeling, so if we missed you and you were at the reception...oops, I'm sorry about that. Just know that I'm glad you made it to share the day with us. It meant a lot, especially those who traveled so far to get there.

Eventually we got to sleep and the next morning after checkout and before our flight we walked around the Gaylord. If you haven't had a chance, stop by if your in the area. The center part is huge and is set up as if you are outside!! It's awesome. There are little souvenir shops, restaurants, lounges, a water fall and stream, and so forth.

The flight was late taking off, so by the time we landed, picked up our luggage, made it to the rental car and drove to the condo, it was after dark even with daylight savings time.

We stayed in a very nice condo that was decorated in a cabana style, thanks to my parents who allowed us to use their time share week this year, which included a full kitchen, living area with big screen TV, master suite with a king size bed, jacuzzi, shower and separate vanities, and a screened in patio that had access both from the family room and the master bedroom. There was an entire part we didn't use except when stealing clean towels or using the restroom if needed.

Taken from the front door/entry, the kitchen is to the right, followed by the 6 person dining room area and table, with the family room beyond. To my left is an entry to the master bath, followed by the entry to the master bedroom.

Family room and door to patio. The big screen TV is out of picture to the left.

Dining area with kitchen beyond. The door to the left leads to another room with a queen size bed 2 person table, love seat with coffee table and TV, smaller screened porch, wet bar with small frig, and private bath. The door on the right is a linen closet, in front of that out of frame is the door to the master bedroom, and in the entry across from our suitcases to the right you can just see the start of the short hall with the door to the master bath.

In the mornings, I would get up, take a shower, make coffee and breakfast, then come out here and eat with my bible or paper in hand. As Taylor needs more sleep than I, she would often wake up about the time I finished, so I would make her coffee and toast and bring it to her as she got ready for the day. Not much of a view out there because of the wall, but it did serve for a little privacy from the golf course on the other side.

This picture was taken from about the foot of the bed in the master bedroom (The TV for the master bedroom can be seen reflected in the mirror.) Across from the jacuzzi tub just out of frame is one of the two vanities. Thru the door on the other side of the tub is the rest of the bathroom, where part of the other vanity can be seen, with the shower to the right. Looking closely, the very edge of the shower can be seen before it is blocked by the door frame.

Next time, Day 2...Disney World!!!
