Sorry, I didn't blog in Florida, but I didn't have my computer with me (Brian had his). Also, sorry there's not pictures to be had, but they're on the camera still and not on my hard drive. :)
We got back yesterday from Florida and had a great time! We left Saturday the 28th, and went straight to Disney. We were lucky and got our room right away, so we dropped off some of our stuff and went to the Magic Kingdom! Brian's eyes lit up as we saw everything Disney. The weather was great that day and we had fun walking around and riding rides (although I don't do roller coasters). Later that night, we went to the Cirque de Soleil show "La Nouba", which is only in Downtown Disney, which is just a big place with bars, restaurants and stores that's owned by Disney. She show was awesome, and we both really enjoyed it. We then went and collapsed at our room at the Fort Orleans Riverside resort (a really nice place, BTW, I would recommend).
The next day was rainy and nasty, but we did Epcot anyway. We didn't get to see everything we wanted to because we had a dinner reservation that night at the German Biergarten in the World Showcase at Epcot. It was awesome and sort of like being in Munich all over again, but not quite. :) Also, we stayed for the fireworks show that they do over the big lake. Very awesome! Monday, we did the Animal Kingdom (more for the kiddies, we think) and went back to Epcot to finish a few things out and have dinner.
Tuesday, we fulfilled another of Brian's childhood dreams by going to Lakeland to see our beloved Tigers in spring training. It was really bizarre, as the Tigers were playing team Venezuela in an exhibit for the World Baseball Classic, and 4 of our major players were playing for their country, and thus, playing against their own team. But, the Tigers beat Team Venezuela that day, so all was well. Wednesday, we went to Disney Hollywood Studios and stayed for the fireworks show they have there, which was very good, and I again, would recommend.
Thursday, we left Disney and went to Port St. Lucie on the east side of the state to stay with our friends Steve and Nancy for the third year in a row. They live in PGA Village, which is a big golf resort complex that is gated, etc. We hung out, went to old school Florida bars, and saw another ball game at Tradition Field, which is where the Mets train. Nancy fed us awesome food and the boys geeked it up on their computers for 3 days. We had a very nice time.
All in all, a very nice week! Maybe the best vacation we've ever taken, because it was such low stress!
