Honeymoon

Seaworld

We walked around Seaworld and it felt like the sea because it was raining. But we still had a great time. But it cleared up in time for the Shamu show. We were able to touch stingrays. We saw a Circus act which was really awesome. Nina and I went on the Kraken. It was an awesome roller coaster. Then we saw dolphins and penguins. We also saw a pirate show with seals. It was cool and it made Nina happy. Did I mention she loooooooves pirates? Shamu Shamu. The Shamu show was awesome. Rich and I sat in the soak zone while Margie, Russ, Nina, and Abbi sat up higher. Shamu was amazing. We couldnt believe how high they can jump out of the water. We now call our guinea pig Moo...Shamoo :)

Disney

Today we went over to Disney's Animal Kingdom and had a great time. Margie came to hang out and she took real good care of us...THANK YOU SO MUCH! We tried to go on all of the rides, including Everest which may have been the coolest coaster I've ever been on! Then we came to the "a Bugs Life" show, Abbi FREAKED out...she was sooooooooooooo scared, she and I had to leave. We then saw and got pics with a lot of the Disney favorites before stopping to see the Finding Nemo Musical. Let me tell you that this show was worth the trip...it's the movie with songs and puppets of all the charecters. The best part was that the characters were in proportion to each other...Nemo was about the size of a duffel bag so imagine how big Nigel the Albatross and Crush the Sea Turtle were! One of the funniest parts was the very end when the few video screens had the seagulls on them saying their famous line...we then went over to Epcot and got to hang out there for a lil bit...Nina and Lynnie broke the test track and it remained closed for the rest of the night. We visited the Nemo pavillion and got to talk to Crush...It was very cool. He can see you and answers your questions...if you're a Nemo fan then you should try to see it. The fireworks started and Ab and I had to run from the park cause they scare her...Nina and Lynnie loved them...enjoy the pics

Westgate

Today was a relaxing day at the timeshare. We hung out at the owners bar-b-que around the pool...free food, DJ and Beer. There were also tons of games for everyone to participate in and win prizes. Nina loved the dance contests and competed in all of them. Abbi liked the lil kid games and Lynnie even hula hooped. I was in the limbo contest and since I'm not the limberest of people I didn't last long. We stayed at the pool for a good 4 hours and then Nina and Lynnie were gonna compete in a kayak race but at the last minute they called if off because of some storm...you'll see in the pics that it was like 90 degrees without a cloud in the sky, but they called it off anyway, se we just ate ice cream. We chilled at the timeshare and Margie came by and ate tacos with us...just wanted to say, thanks for reading so far and there is more to come.

M&M's YUM!

The trilogy is complete. :) I love the Yellow M&M but he was on top of the building so I couldnt get my pic with him but the blue one is cute. Got free pirate M&M pins at the store that made Nina sooooooooooooooooo happy. We like car 38 in NASCAR. So we will be routing for that one from now on.

Then we had to drive to the airport and drop Lizzard off. We didnt want her to go but she has to go to stupid work. We just heard from her and she is still at the airport...she was supposed to leave 2 hrs ago. Tomorrow...it is pool time :)

GATORLAND

Finally, got to do something that I wanted to do...JUST KIDDING! This morning we went to Gatorland and had a GREAT time. If you ever thought a Gator couldn't jump then you were wrong. We saw a bunch of crocs and gators and then I got to be part of a show..with 4 others...I helped hold a 100 pound Ball Python...this snake would have eaten Mama! We also got to feed a Llama and some goats (who were Crazy). Lynnie also found our pet Pigmy Goat her name is Penelope. We saw gator Wrestling and watched the Jumparoo then we went on the Train...Awesome...Margie met up with us again and after a long day we headed to M&M World...********Make sure you click on view map to see ariel shots of our spots********

200 mile bike ride

Woke up early today to go get the Harley. What a great bike it was! It was red and gray and it had saddle bags on the side. So we loaded it up with the camera and hit the road...after looking at the map. We found a town called DeLeon Springs so of course we wanted to go there. It was so awesome. There was a big park and we ate there. The restaurant was a mixture between the hibachi and the melting pot. They bring you pancake batter and then you fry it up on the table. It was awesome. The park was so much fun even though my sunglasses broke...so onto the next stop...Daytona Beach. Wow that bike rides nice. We made it to Daytona..found a sunglass store and got new shades. Took some pics and went to the Harley Davidson there. It was a nice store. Rode around town for a little bit..saw the beach. We rode around and saw the Daytona race track. Riding the back roads was so much fun..I was holding on real tight :) Made it back to the room and Lizz was not back yet. She took the girls to Walt Disney and met up with Margie who got the girls to meet the princesses. So we were hungry and decided to take a cab to Hooters had more fried pickles YUM! Lizz picked us up at the end of the day. What a great day :)

Wonder Works

For those of you that haven't been to Florida...when you do get here you have to check wonder works out! Picture a mix between the Franklin Institute and Chuckie Cheese...except the stuff is for the big kids...We spent a good amount of time there and then watched a comedy/magic dinner show...Nina got to go up onstage twice...everyone had a lot of fun. Earlier we chilled at the pool and soaked up the beautiful Florida Sun. Tomorrow were going to rent a Harley and cruise and Lizz is taking the girls to Magic Kingdom...

Florida!

Well we finally made it! Our timeshare is awesome...we picked up Lizz, Ab and Nina at the airport without any problems...so...so far so good. Right now the "adults" are sitting on our screened porch having a couple of beverages and chatting. Lizz and Lynne are molesting the Palm tree outside the timeshare and Lynne is hoping that the gators don't get her and Lizz is scared of the snakes (there are neither here by the way). Tomorrow we are hanging at the timeshare and maybe going to a dinner show Monday the parks and Tuesday...Gatorland...YESSSSSSSSSSSS! The M&M store is in the plans too...that way Lynnie and I will complete the trilogy of M&M stores, Vegas, NYC and now Orlando...oh the sign is from some random backwoods Alabama town that we happened to pass through...kind of reminded me of Elwood.

Graceland!

Back again and now you can see the pics from the Passion Play...

We're driving again, this time through Georgia. Yesterday we went to the home of the King of Rock & Roll...Elvis Lives! We visited Graceland in Memphis, TN. Elvis was the man his home was set up the way HE wanted it and you'll see from the pics that Elvis had quite and eclectic taste. We did the tour and got to see the grounds and most of his awards...and he had a lot! We also got the see the final resting place and one thought came to mind, why does everyone say that Elvis couldn't be in the tomb because his middle name is spelled wrong? Elvis' father also had the name Aaron as part of his name and it is spelled with 2 A's...does that mean that his father isn't in the grave either? Who cares? It was really cool to be there.

After that we hit the road and made it through Alabama in one shot but not after a long detour that wasn't necessary...thanks to our Triptic from AAA...should have lisitened to Alice...will she ever forgive us? We're just passing Six Flags in Georgia as I'm writing this on our way to HOTlanta and then down to FLA! Where we'll go a week without having to drive. Enjoy the pics of Graceland and we'll talk to soon...

On the road again,

The DeLeon's

So long Arkansas...Hello Tennessee

After a long farewell this morning to our treehouse, we hit the road. We said goodbye to the squirrel that ate all the food and drank some joe out on the deck since of course it was sunny out. We had such a blast at the treehouse. Who knew I liked mimosas :) I cant wait to go back. There was so much to do around town. We went to see the Great Passion Play and took a tour of Jerusalem. It was amazing. Took soooo many pics which will be uploaded shortly. OH and were finally back in Verizon land. No more roaming. Time to turn on the cellphones :) Almost to Graceland...75 more miles. Lots of dead armadillos on the side of the road which are freaking Rich out.
