Disney World - Epcot

Our five days of magical Disney World adventure begins at Epcot, which has a futuristic theme.


A huge golf-ball looking structure sits right after the entrance of the amusement park. Inside it, is the Spaceship Earth ride.


Plant sculpture of Minnie Mouse and the other Disney characters are seen all over the park.


Passing by the hot-air balloons hanging from the ceiling, while on our way to the Soarin' ride.

Sea animals and signboards leading the way to The Seas with Nemo & Friends.


Queuing up to take picture with Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Chip and Dale.



The Living with the Land boat ride inside the greenhouse features the future of growing crops.


In fairy-tale land, pumpkins grow ears into a Mickey mouse shape.




Decoration along the queue of Test Track ride kept us entertained. While it was bright and sunny for the whole afternoon, it decided to rain in the evening. Since part of the ride is outside, this attraction would only resume when the rain stops.


Our day at Epcot ends with the light and fireworks show at the lake.

Tulip Festival

The Tulip Festival is an annual event held in Washington Park (Albany, New York), this year being the 60th year. It marks the start of the spring season. Beside admiring the beautiful tulip blooms, there's also the traditional crowning of the Tulip Queen. Her role is to serve as Albany's Ambassador and will be involved in volunteer projects.














I never knew that there exist so many different variety of tulips.



On the first evening of the event, a wooden windmill was burnt down to reveal a tulip structure during the opening ceremony.

Atlantic City Boardwalk

We took a day-trip out to Atlantic City on Yankee Trails. With the existence of quite a number of casinos and hotels built in this town, it is like a mini Las Vegas. The bus dropped us at Tropicana Casino and Resort, and from there, we took a slow long stroll along the Boardwalk towards The Pier Shops at Caesars.



We were greeted by a bright and sunny day as we exit out from the casino.


Newspapers, anyone?





Enjoying the cool breeze as we walk towards the beach.





On the shore nearer to the sea, it is littered with plenty of seashells. Pity that most of them are broken. It took me quite awhile to finally find one that is still intact.





While strolling along the beach, we found this huge pipe leading out to the sea.


Since the city is built along the coast, seabirds are seen everywhere.






Located in the Kennedy Plaza, the Workers Memorial Monument was dedicated to "the men and women of organized labor who lost their lives while working on the redevelopment of Atlantic City".



Lined along the boardwalk are numerous shops and eating places.



Right at the back of The Pier Shops at Caesars shopping mall, a pier area that extends far out into the sea, offers a marvelous view of the waters and the coastal city view.
