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!

Day Six!

The only driving we did today was to and from the Georgia Aquarium!

These buildings are known as the King and Queen buildings, and they can be seen from almost anywhere in Atlanta.

These are some of the flowers in front of my families house in Cumming. So many beautiful flowers! We were able to spend a lot of the day with family I haven't seen in awhile, and some I had never met. So much fun!

Here we are at the aquarium!! The first is a Beluga whale, they were so amazing to watch, they would come right up to the glass and they kept doing flips in the water! Next is a Whale Shark!! One massive animal! Third is a Sawshark!! So many mesmerizing animals at the aquarium, my favorite is the Hammerhead, and we even got to pet some!! Coolest thing ever!
