Our travels included Stefan&#39;s brother <strong>Andy</strong>, his wife&#160;<strong>Amy</strong>, and their daughter <strong>Sarah</strong>.&#160;Here are a few videos and highlights of our journey!&#160; We highly recommend <strong>Everest</strong> at <strong>Animal Kingdom</strong>!&#160; <strong>Stefan</strong> actually did the roller coaster despite his issues with motion sickness and loved it!&#160; <strong>Sean</strong> road it two times. And <strong>Andy</strong> almost didn&#39;t survive... <u>the Yeti almost got him</u>!&#160; As an FYI, <strong>Sarah</strong>&#39;s pictures are only available to family and friends.&#160; We took some video too but alas Vox can only take video clips under a given size (sad face). We later spent two days in and around <strong>Tampa-St Petersburg</strong>. There we watched the&#160;<strong>New England Patriots </strong>lose, saw <strong>Andy</strong> do his radio show live, and visited with <strong>Stefan</strong>&#39;s parents <strong>Carolyn</strong> and<strong> Erwin</strong>.&#160;&#160;</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00d41449676f6a4700e398dda8490005" at:format="large" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-large photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 10px auto;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item photo-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://mcfreed.vox.com/library/photo/6a00d41449676f6a4700e398dda8490005.html"><img src="http://a1.vox.com/6a00d41449676f6a4700e398dda8490005-320pi" alt="Stefan and Sean - best we got folks!
