Guess where we went?

A month ago we went to Orlando and had a blast! It is a short seven hour drive there through the woods of lower Florida. Here in the South we have found that the freeways are lined with lots of trees and bushes and you can't see any cities unless you get off the interchanges.

We had two days to spend in the Park. Jared gave us passes for our anniversary. We visited the MGM Studios and loved the Tower of Terror ride. The same day we went to Animal Kingdom and enjoyed all the bugs (Bugs Life) and the Safari Ride.

The Everest roller coaster ride was Awesome!!

The next day we went to Epcot and boy was it hot and muggy. Of course we visited the China exhibit and ate at the restaurant there. We rode the Test Track and Jo wanted to drive the car but they wouldn't let her... Then we went to Magic Kingdom and rode all our favorite rides even with the large crowds. We heard the electric light parade and luckily we were on a ride and didn't see it (Remember Christmas Day kids). And we saw the fireworks that night.

We are still on the beach enjoying the Sun and Beach here in Pensacola Florida. We went out to eat at "Crabs, we got 'em" at Pensacola Beach and enjoyed walking along the white sandy beach. Last week we returned from Utah and the wedding of our daughter to Blake. It was a great time and we are so happy for them.

We thought we should go eat at the cafe below but it was closed. The 'Road Kill' cafe.. There seem to be armadillos all along the roads wherever we go. I counted 8 one Saturday. I have to say that the cafe was in Southern Alabama, not Florida.

On a serious note yesterday was my Grandmother Emily Drake's funeral. She passed away at the age of 97! She lived a full life and was quickly taken by our Heavenly Father after an unfortunate fall in her home a few weeks ago. She had 169 descendents at the time of her passing! That is quite a tribute to her.
