Sunday morning, October 26.
Friday we spent the whole day at Epcot Center. It was an interesting experience! We did lots of walking, looking, and some eating. We finished the day by going into some of the halls and taking the simulated rides (first manned trip to Mars, Planet Earth, and Universe of Energy) amoung them. The last bit of time in the park visit saw us sitting on a bench that overlooked the lake and watching people flow by. It was a full day.
Saturday we drove to Brandon (near Tampa Bay) to visit my niece Jennifer and her husband Jeff. We met their daughter, Rowan, a bright girl of 12 (going on 13.) We enjoyed this visit; we had not seen Jennifer and Jeff since their marriage.
Today we drive to southern Florida. There are several venues that we will have to “pass” on this visit including Sea World, Universal Studios, Busch Gardents – Tampa, and probably the Everglades. We don’t have the time to take these in, maybe next trip (if there is one.) Our plan for today is to get down to the Homestead area at the end of the Florida mainland. Monday we will drive out to Key West and work our way back up to the mainland.
Tuesday will be another driving day as we will head north to Tallahassee and get ready to fly home on Wednesday. Sad to say our trip is getting close to being over.
That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!
