I'm back, did you miss me?

We were in Florida for only 4 days, but we sure packed a lot into those days.




I think I had too much hope for my photos, though. It's hard to do things AND take pictures, so they really aren't terribly exciting. Once I go through them I may post a pictorial review, but meanwhile, here's a brief synopsis.

Charlie got to be on the float in the New Port Richey Holiday Parade, since my friend's company (they own it) was part of the Chamber of Commerce. He enjoyed saying "Happy Christmas"* and whipping candy at the spectators.

We went to Universal Studio's 'City Walk' the night before Disney, and that was fun. Mostly shops, but it was lively and interesting and we had dinner at Margaritaville which was very good.

Disney World was lovely, and the pass we got due to the fact that Charlie is Autistic helped SO MUCH. We were able to go on pretty much every ride. We did Space Mountain twice.

We went and checked out some nature as well, and saw a Manatee in this river one day, and alligators in a swamp another day, so that was cool. I did get a photo of the alligator.



*Apparently he and the three girls he was on the float with had a discussion on how people in different countries say "Merry Christmas" and he thought the Brits saying "Happy" instead of "Merry" was just wonderful. Is he my son, or what?

The picture is great! Glad you guys had fun, and I'm sorry you didn't get a pic of the manatee, but I guess there's always next time. Lucky you for not having to stand in line, and lucky Charlie for being in the parade! Glad you had fun, and I'd love to see the pictures, even if they're blurry.
