Florida Trip

We are back home from our trip. We had a fantastic time and wore ourselves out. It was so good to see some of our Baton Rouge friends and hang out with them for the week. We got there Thursday night. I, unfortunately, slept about 1 hour the first night. The next morning we went to the PRI show (performance racing industry trade show). I was exhausted by noon. Of course we stayed all day till 6 pm. I did, however, find a great deal on seats for our vw bug that we are restoring. So, it was worth the time there. That night, we went to Mickey's christmas party at Disney. It was fun. We had access to the park until midnight. I even rode it's a small world. Steve rode the teacups with 3 other of his adult friends. Brought us back to our childhood.

The next day, Steve and I went to universal by ourselves. His new race car body a 58 Plymouth fury (which is the same car in Christine... the Steven King movie), was supposed to arrive at the PRI show at 4:00. We rushed from universal to get there in time to get the body. However, they didn't show up until after 6:00. Pictures are below of the body. Steve was like a little boy on Christmas morning. We had reservations for dinner at 7:00 in downtown disney. We rushed and barely made it. Luckily our 7 other people got there to get our reservations. We ate then went to cirque de soliel.

Next day, we went to universal all day, then a Luau that night at Sea world. The following day we did the other half of universal all day and finished the day off at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. We were the 'fun' table sitting in front of the live 'band' (it was a guy w/ a guitar singing). He told us we were the most fun table he's had in a long time. We made friends with him and even got him to sing longer than he was scheduled to.

I also forgot to mention that we had breakfast every morning together. We had two rooms that were condos with a common area and everyone had their own separate rooms and baths. Among the 11 of us, we had two rooms. One of our friends cooked breakfast every morning and we all ate together as a family. We had eggs, biscuits, sausage, grits every morning. It was so nice and was a very inexpensive alternative to fast food every morning. My stomach also thanked me for it.

So, it was very difficult to leave all of our friends (new and old) and return home. Steve and I were both depressed all day yesterday after the great time we had. We can't wait to do it again and to see our friends again. Hopefully, we can start a tradition to be vacation buddies.

Here are pics of Steve getting his new race car body.
