We first flew to our friends Carmen and Don. We had a great time with them. It had been 3 years ago that we had seen each other so the kids had grown! And our timing was great as Don had his 50th birthday in the weekend we visited. Party! Now I expect Don to be at my 50th birthday as well. That's the least he could do! ;-)
We visited a park in the Everglades where we saw alligators from real close! Don and Carmen also took us to a place where we could see really big lubber grasshoppers. Only one more letter and we have our family name . . . I preferred them from a distance.
Then we went to Orlando. As we visited the Disney parks a few years ago we nod wecided to go to Universal Studios , Island of Adventure and Sea World and the new water[park Aquatica. All the parks were beautiful. We had multipasses so we could visit the parks several times. It was fun.
The last few days we went to family in Chicago. The temperatures were good when we arrived but the next day it became much coller in Chicago. But later that week temeratures were nicer again. We went down town to visit the Hancock building and see the Lincoln Zoo and meet up with a Chicago greeter volunteer. that was fun!
Photos are on the right side of the blog. But we will post more soon!
