Monday march 16

So we have been home a week now... man.. miss the Florida weather! Not much went on this past week, groceries, unpacking, resting.. now we are back to work! O I had a birthday, but you already know about that! We have been talking about Christophers 16th birthday. I know June is along time away, but with being busy busy in the summer, planning is everything. We are planning a cookout for his birthday, shooting for the 18th of July, you know who you are, put it in your book now. Cant have it on the 4th of July, and the 11th is Nannys birthday, so she will make it all about her... so the 18th it is! Looking at about 40 people... wwoo hoo, wow Pher will be 16... 16! Thats it for here, I am headed for the hot tub, the first few days back to work are always the hardest.. talk soon!

Sunday

Well, georgia is a long state let me tell you!! We drove all day yesterday and spent a few hours at marks house had a nice lunch, and, headed for pigeon forge tennessee. We are currently camped out at the willowbrook lodge for the night. Headed for home in the morning! Its a bittersweet thing, but we have had a great vacation and miss some things about home...see ya all soon

Saturday

Today is a sad day! It is time to pack up and leave!! Doesnt seem like it has been 3 weeks already, but I guess it has. O well we will be back next year, or Les and Heather will be here... lots of time to figure it out. But anyway, Thursday we went to Medieval Times dinner show, it was ok, food was good, but I am betting it will be closing soon, a place that holds 1000 people and there are only about half there, wont be open long. Good thing those 2 schools showed up! Friday we did some last minute running in the morning then had a pool day. We went to Romano macaroni grill for dinner with Chris then came back and Dave Dad and I went swimming till 10:30, then watched the NASA launch. Too bad the shuttle is going up in a couple days and we will miss it! Well I guess.. I have to pack and get a shower yet, so it is time! We are headed up to Tennessee to Marks house till Sunday night, then to Pigeon Forge for a day. We should be home Tuesday night...Happy Birthday your home....crap!

Wednesday

Hollywood Studios was cool, not much has changed there since our last visit,,, except the name. The American Idol experience was new, but if you wanted to see more than a couple auditions, you had to go out and get back in line... I dont think so! Tuesday we hopped the fence to the abandoned orange grove and cut down some orange wood to take home for the smoker.. then we had a pool day. Tuesday night we went to Wonder Works for the out of control magic show. It was pretty funny, turned out better than I thought it would be, and it was relatively cheap compared to most things. Today Mom and Dad are going to go to Plant City to Parkesdale for strawberry shortcake. Dave and I are hanging out at the pool. Chris Sweet is also down here, she is a few miles down the road, I havent seen her yet,, but she calls my phone enough to feel like she is sitting here. Thats if for today, I have a couple things I want to look at before the internet here kicks me off... Not a strong signal here and internet cost me 60 bucks for the 2 weeks we are here!! Hard to believe we will be home in a week!

Sunday

Wow! I didnt realize it had been so long since the last update! Ok Blue Man group was very cool. Alot of flying paint, lots of colors and toilet paper! Dave wasnt into the strobe lights, but it was good. During the show the turn on strobe lights, and from behind you the send out rolls and rolls of paper, its like a wave of sorts, you can either choose to send it up front... or get strangled with it! I do suppose with a few shots of the "blue brain freeze" things could be interesting. Thursday we had a cookout, it was good. Hung out at the pool all day. Friday we had another pool day, and went to Orlando to Salt Island for dinner with Randy and Jackie. After dinner we went to Old Town got ice cream and came home to sit in the hot tub for a few hours. Saturday we had a pool day, then went to KW kools for dinner, then back to old town for classic car show, then home to the hot tub. (do you see a pattern)? Sunday we started in the hot tub till it rained. We drove over to Hommasossa to see Aunt Carol. On the way home we stopped at Burger King for dinner, now the race is on and I think thats it for the night....till 10:00 when we meet Randy and Jackie in the hot tub...... thats it for today, tomorrow we are suppose to go to Hollywood studios and use up our last day on the ticket.. I will let you know how it goes!
