Orlando, Florida


As part of a combined Graduation, Mother's Day and Birthday gift - Jeff took me on a business trip to Orlando.  He had meetings the first few days and so I read by the pool and enjoyed a little sun.

 We enjoyed Florida's famous Key Lime Pie at a fabulous seafood restaurant and stopped at "Gators" for some chicken wings.  

















 We also stopped by the Orlando Temple. 
Our last day was spent at Universal Studios - Island Adventure.  As soon as we got to the  park we headed straight for the Harry Potter rides in Hogwarts.  We had heard rumors of long lines, but found that our longest wait all day was no more than 40 minutes.  We sampled the butter beer, ran from ride to ride like we were teenagers again and had a thoroughly enjoyable day!

 This is my "skinny pose in front of Hogwarts Express.
 As the day got warmer we had to go back for a second butter beer.  A cream soda, caramel, butterscotch flavored slushy. Refreshing and super yummy!
Funny thing about this picture is that Jeff had no idea that a T-Rex was hoovering just above him.




 If you look really closely you might see Jeff waving his out of the back of the Hulk roller coaster.  He said it was by far one of the best coasters he has ever been on.
