Shane and I decided to go back to Florida to celebrate our anniversary. We had such a good time last year that we were excited for a repeat trip. I told Shane I didn't care where we went as long as it was warm. So we spent the week in Florida. We had a great time. We started the week off in Orlando. We went to 3 theme parks.
Islands of Adventure - My favorite ride, The Hulk.
Hollywood Studios - My favorite ride - Rockin Rollercoaster.
Magic Kingdom - My favorite ride - Splash Mountain (that's kind of a random choice for me, but for this year it was true.)
Magic Kingdom
Big Thunder Mountain
The Teacups (although they call them something different now, they will always be the teacups to me.)
I was also able to meet my friend Denise and her daughter Cristina for breakfast one morning. Her daughter is darling and it was fun to see them since they live in Orlando. I used to work with Denise and we would talk many times a day, so it was fun catching up.
Then we headed down to Tampa and went to Busch Gardens. This was our favorite theme park of the week because it was totally empty. Well there were quite a few senior citizens, but they weren't interested in the rides. They were only there to see The Osmond Brothers perform (no Donny was not there, I did check!) We literally walked onto every single roller coaster and on several of them walked around and got right back on. Favorite ride - Sheikra. They take you up a huge hill and then hang you over the edge looking down on the 90 degree drop in front of you for about 10 seconds, then drop you. It was the the one roller coaster of the week that made my heart pound. Scary, but sooo fun.
This is a picture of the view from our hotel room overlooking Tampa Bay:
I loved the theme parks but I think my favorite part of the trip was the day we went to Clearwater Beach. There is nothing better to me then the sound, smell, and feel of the sun and ocean breeze. We walked on the boardwalk and up the pier and then ate lunch outside soaking up the beach atmosphere.
It was sad to come home but we had a GREAT trip. It was a lot of fun and also very relaxing. I feel like I can handle the rest of winter now...maybe.
