Florida Tourists: Orlando

Orlando was our final stop on our Florida Tourists trip.  While we were in Florida, I really wanted to take the kids to a natural spring.  We didn’t have time to detour to Ginny Springs, a favorite of mine during college, so Aunt Jacqui was happy to help us find one close to them to check this off our tourist list.  We went to Wekiwa Springs near their house.  It was fuh-reezing—or refreshing, I guess, because it was a hot summer’s day—but all of the kids jumped right in, the 2 1/2 year olds included!  Harper and Hudson are so open to every new experience.  They are just joys to be be around. 

Nana and PopPop joined us on our second day at Jacqui and Randy’s house.  We had all come together to celebrate Uncle Randy’s 40th birthday!  We enjoyed a delicious shrimp boil meal and some birthday cake at home and then the kids stayed at home while Aunt Jacqui, Uncle Randy, Nana, PopPop and I all went to a brewery to meet many of Jacqui and Randy’s friends to help him celebrate the milestone birthday.  Unbeknownst to Jacqui when she booked the brewery for Randy’s party, a special live performance of Rocky Horror Picture Show was at the brewery that night, too.  We got quite the hoot out of that, and luckily none of us were asked to join the show.  Happy birthday, Uncle Randy!

After nearly two weeks away, several new Florida sights seen, and many family members hugged, we headed back home.  We had a great trip as Florida tourists.
