Fun in Orlando

Disney was lots of fun. We spent Tuesday at the Magic Kingdom, taking in the joy of Main Street, the thrill of Space Mountain, and the fun of Splash Mountain. We filled our day on rides, browsing in shops and remembering previous visits to Disney.

Wednesday we had a chance to enjoy the house. The pool was a definite highlight for the girls. That, along with the games room, Wii, and TV's in each of their rooms meant that there was no shortage of entertainment for them. That gave us a chance to catch up with my parents on news from home and relax ourselves a little bit.

Thursday we headed back to Disney to take in Animal Kingdom. It was very busy, which made for long lines and crowded attractions, but we didn't let that ruin our day. The safari tour allowed us to see a whole different habitat of animals than those we've seen on this trip, and the girls enjoyed every minute of it.
After leaving the park, we headed back to the house for a last swim, and to pack up before heading back to Titusville. We arrived at the boat with two very sleepy girls and once we had unpacked the car, all headed to bed.

Off to See the Mouse!!

Made it to Titusville on Sunday night.
Met up with my parents, and Jon and Marie from Hunky Dory. Spent a great afternoon catching up and reminiscing. Then a great dinner out.
Monday we headed inland, to a rental house just south of Disney.
And now ..... off to see the mouse!

Our Days in Vero Beach

Our days here can be summed up in one word: Relaxing!

The beach is within walking distance, the showers are nice and the hot water plentiful, there is a free shuttle bus to town. We have enjoyed it all during the last couple of days.
We have chatted with many cruisers that we have seen along the way, some from the Exumas, some from the northern Bahamas, and some that have stayed here in Vero all winter.
Everybody's thoughts are turning to summer. Many are taking their boats home, seldom as far north as we are going; most though, are finding a spot to put their boats to rest for the summer, leaving them in a marina in the southern US, and driving back north to see friends, grandchildren and their summer home.
We too are headed north tomorrow, taking a couple of days to get to Titusville where we will meet my parents for a visit.
