Florida -1st Trip cont'd

Feb 7-10, 2014

I introduced Lynn to Disney Boardwalk where we enjoyed some nice pasteries at the Boardwalk Bakery and worked it off by walking around the lake.  We also visited The Swan Hotel....
.......and watched a few buskers (not as good as ones I've seen in the past).  
We ended the night by walking to the bridge by Epcot and watching the Fireworks. 


The following day we visited Animal Kingdom Lodge where Terry and Mandy stayed before and enjoyed some of the African wildlife that walked by.




The next day we did one of my famous "Free Disney Days" visiting the Wedding Pavilion, Grand Floridian Hotel, Wilderness Lodge, Camp Wilderness, The Contemporary hotel and finally taking the monorail back to the \Polynesian Village.
Another great day in Florida!

Friday we drove to Daytona to meet Karen (Merritt's daughter) and her husband Dennis who are visiting from Kamloops. We enjoyed dinner at Cracker Barrel and then went to seethe Dog Races. I was the big "winner" on the night only losing $30!!

We had a great visit and we will see them again next Monday when they come to stay with us for a few days. 

On the weekend we drove over to Clearwater to visit Doug and Carol, our Neighbours back home (no pic, can you believe it!)
While we were there, the neighbour from across the street saw my BASSMAN plates and came over to talk fishing. Turns out he's from Brantford and after a few questions, Lynn realizes they were in Public School together!!!  For some reason they didn't recognize each other after 50 years!!
George and Lynn

After a short visit, we left Doug and Carol's and drove over to introduce Lynn to Chris' brother Cal, Marcelle and their daughter Sherri who was down for two weeks.  


We had a wonderful visit, followed by a great meal at Millers Ale House in Tampa.  We all look forward to getting together again when we return in March.
