The cruise was incredible, but after eight spectacular days, it was time to dock in Fort Lauderdale and get off the ship. Boo-hoo. But before we had much time to be sad, we were launched into the fantastic fun of Florida! After leaving the ship, we packed us and our stuff into our rental car (the car we had waiting for us, since we were actually
planning to drive this!) and drove the three hours to Orlando. We had a beautiful suite in Floridays Resort, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed Florida! Here are some of our favourites:
 |
| Anyone who knows him will not be surprised that Travis' favourite was Lego Land. It actually was pretty cool; there was so much stuff made out of Lego there - surprise, surprise! The Miniland was also neat - there were tons of replicas of famous landmarks and cities all over the world made out of ... why, Lego, of course! |
 |
| Mom's favourite was definitely Disney World. There she is in front of the gates to the Magic Kingdom, trying to contain her bursting excitement! |
 |
| Dad's favourite was definitely our trip to St. Andrew's Chapel, the famous R.C. Sproul's church, where we got to hear him preach and even got this picture taken with him. |
 |
| My favourite was probably Splash Mountain in Disney World. Yes, if you squint, that's me in the third row. I think you can almost see my face as I'm about to plummet 50 thrilling feet of water! |
We made everybody happy in Orlando - St. Andrew's Chapel, Lego Land, Universal Studios and Disney World. Oh, and of course, lots of shopping! Florida truly was amazing! But as of Friday morning, the trip was about to be pull to a satisfying close. Early on the 16th, we boarded a plane and flew safely back to Halifax. As I snapped the picture below out the window of the plane, and as I thought about all the things the Lord had done and the works He performed, I couldn't help thinking of this verse:
"For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy." - Psalm 92:4
Stay tuned for tomorrow, the final part of this series, where I tell you some things that our family learned throughout this dream vacation!
