Orlando - the beautiful city


The first trip to Orlando was weird for me as we moved here from Tustin, CA. This place felt more like a place still under construction. There were orange cones in semoran all the way to our hotel in downtown Orlando.

We moved to our first apartment in Altamonte Springs. My daughter was born at Arnold Palmer hospital in Winter Park and we proudly brought her back to our Apartment. She was born in December, a Sagittarius.

We then moved to another apartment near South Semoran as work called for the change. We were lucky to buy our first home the following year in Lake Nona. We just moved from houses in lake Nona based on which grade she was in. 

She has been a Lake Nona girl since birth. We fell in love with Orlando after exploring the theme parks and the outdoors around Orlando. Altamonte Springs, Winter Park, Moss Park, Lake Nona, and the biking trails around lake Nona. The boat ride at Winter Park is awesome. We took most of our guests there for enjoying the ride. We can see the backyard of the Super Rich in Orlando by just going in that ride. I promise!

Best food restaurants:- Woodlands vegetarian, Hawkers street, Jinya ramen bar, Royal Thai Restaurent,  are the name of some of our favorite restaurants.

Do you have any good restaurants to suggest for us so we can try them out when someone visits us next. We are good hosts! 💙
