Our trip to Orlando

Another week has gone by.  I am really having a hard time sitting down to blog!

I started a yoga class last Monday and went again today.  I'm not sure I'm going to like this or stick with it but we'll see.  Any of you had any yoga experience?

Harrison and Cameron both had the flu last week and were home from school all week.  Emma Taylor is sick this week.  It's really going around in the schools here.  Sure wish everyone could get well and stay well!  Thankfully Doug and I haven't gotten it.

We took a nice trip to Orlando in January.  We had a week at our condo and it was use it or lose it so off we went.  It was mostly a week of relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather, which was just what we wanted after the hectic December.

The condo was really beautiful.







And the weather was so pleasant...in the 70s every day.

We spent one day at the Mecum Auction.  Before you get real excited, it's a car auction and we were just lookers!



Lots and lots of old cars.  Doug kinda liked this one.


Also some very unusual cars.


I don't even know what it is!

There were food trucks set up under a huge tent.


Even a crepe truck!  I had one for dessert.

We spent another day at Disney Springs.  It's part of Disney but doesn't cost anything to get in.  It's mostly shops and restaurants.




We decided on a burger for lunch.


It was huge.  We should have split it!

We saw a bunch of these Minnie Mouse cards in the parking lot as we left.


I think it would be fun to drive around in one of those!

Another day we drove around the town of Celebration.  It's a master-planned community not far from Disney World.  I loved the beautiful homes that lined the streets and the unusual architecture in the downtown area.

This used to be an old movie theater but is now offices and an ice cream parlor.  Very art deco.


We had dinner in Celebration that evening at a restaurant that was recommended to us.



We split a seafood platter which was delicious!

Then we walked to a little bakery and got one macaroon.


I love those things!

We were looking for a good breakfast place one morning and I came across Holler and Dash.  The name itself was intriguing!



It was not what we expected, but these biscuit beignets were so good with a coffee dipping sauce.  Holy cow!


I guess it looks like we did a lot of eating that week!
