Florida: Of Good, Old American Food, Theme Parks, and Shopping

Well we're back! We had a spectacular time, no storms barred our way, no Broadway show was cancelled, no cruise shortened, and no stores closed on us. It was a practically hitch-less vacation. We enjoyed some refreshment, relaxation, and reveling in God's good creation. For today, Friday and Saturday I'm going to share some of the highlights of our fabulous vacation, divided into its three parts, our time in Florida before the cruise, our time on the cruise and in our various Caribbean ports, and then some of our sillier moments of the trip! So here's some of what happened in Florida, including some good, old American food, theme parks and (of course) shopping!

Me in front of the Orca Tower at SeaWorld.

A pic I snapped at the incredible Shamu show at SeaWorld. The shows were all so good!

Me, Buzz and Woody, my Lego friends, at the Lego Store in Downtown Disney. 

The delicious cheesy Mexican potatoes you can only get at Taco Bell in the States.

Me being a dork at Big Lots! 

The remnants of the turkey dinner we ate at St. Andrew's Chapel before attending an edifying lecture by Dr. Burk Parsons. 

The Incredible Hulk Roller Coaster (a favourite) at Islands of Adventure in Universal Studios. 

A small rain storm that blew into Fort Lauderdale the night before our cruise left caused some waving palm trees and big waves! It didn't affect our cruise at all though.
