COCO Beach!!

Nephews first time at the beach, and he loved it!
I also got to see my little cousin who was down here with his highschool band!
Someone scared up all the seagulls :(
This Seagull had such beautiful eyes, and the little guy was trying to sneak up and steal the babies snacks!

White Christmas!

Christmas day in Clearwater!!
I saw this pink church with a nativity set,
and the palm trees with presents under it is very FL!
We sat here for awhile listening to the waves hit the rocks and smelling the salt!
The water was beautiful in the sunlight, and the moonlight!
We got free coffee cause our waiter thought he made us wait to long, little did he know we were in no rush. So he got a big Christmas tip!
Loved these turtles that were all over, and so did the man who fell asleep looking at one.
I just love the beach!!

Boat tour!!

Another day off!!
We went on a boat tour through three lakes in Winter Park. Lake Osceola, lake Virginia, and lake Maitland.
The lakes were attached by these small canals that were just a foot wider then the pontoon boat we were riding on! The area has not been taken over by construction, so the vegetation was very lush and the trees quite large. Because of this the canals were very shady and cool. Many of the exqusite homes had small boat garages on the canal!

One of the homes was owned by the ex-NBA star Horace Grant lived, another by Mr. Walgreen of Walgreen's Pharmacy. The very expencive Rollins College is also on one of the lakes!

This area below is known as the Isle of Sicily. The black bird is a "snake bird" also known as the Anhinga.












Here are a few more random shots from the boat trip, as well as one shot from our walk around the beautiful town with brick streets and fancy shops!

Day Off!

My day off spent at the polynesian hotel!
~~I finally felt like I was in Florida~~
I Watched The Birds Fly Around And Rest On The Beach

The Beach I Had All To Myself!!!

Discovering Florida

Downtown Disney and my favorite, LEGO-LAND!! We weren't able to stay for too long as the heat index was in the three digits! The Locness was really in the water :)
The Henry Leu Gardens were inexpensive, but for a reason! Almost all the plants were dead looking, and the fruit trees were dropping fruit and rotting, such a waste! There were a few pretty flowers around.
But there were plenty of Butterflies and Geckos!

And there were a few butterfly daycares.

Last Day!!

Cumming, GA ---> Orlando, FL 480 Miles
Our last driving day, and a very long one!! Here we are sitting outside my families house!
We left very early so we were able to get to our new home around mid-afternoon.
These pictures are from the last couple days, but here everyone is watching the fireworks, and we watched baby Caiden while his parents went out for their first wedding anniversary!
