FLORIDA, with Ann, Susan and mom

We went to see Blue Man Group.  We had a great time at the show!

Universal City Walk

We got a little bite and some drinks at the Hard Rock before the Blue Man show. They had a great little appetizer of 3 mini margaritas with chips and salsa.


We drove to Clearwater the second day.  We had a lot of fun and it was a beautiful day! Ann drove on the bike path. That was her only option but she was uncomfortable about it, nonetheless.


We saw a family of dolphins right off the dock at the beach.  The one kept chasing the fish around the post over and over again in circles.  It was quite funny! There was a baby too but I didn't ever get a pic of the baby.

Snorkeling

 Encounters with Dolphins - we took a cruise out to see some dolphins and go snorkeling off of a small island.  We saw quite a few.  Ann got some really good pics of a dolphin jumping right behind my mom and me.  I will be posting as soon as I get them.



 Animal Kingdom
 We had a great time at Animal Kingdom.  We made a quick day of it and hit all the big attractions; Kilimanjaro Safari (the animals come right up to your car!), Nemo the Musical, A Bug's Life and the Lion King show. 






A Bug's Life

 Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum




 Epcot Food and Wine Festival
No trip to Florida is complete without seeing Melissa and Keith! We met up and they took me to the Epcot Food and Wine Festival.  We had some great food and drinks and it was so good to see them!

This was the day after the attacks in Paris. They had a memorial set up behind the Eiffel Tower in Epcot.


 Medieval Times



 The show was great.  The crowd was really into it.  The food was also really excellent.  No utensils .... but good!
 Star Island Resort

 We stayed at Star Island Resort.  It was a really nice place. We couldn't have asked for better weather while we were in FL.

 See ya next time, FL!!! It was a blast!
UPDATE - Posting some of the pics that Ann took in FL.

In no particular order ....





We were the hat ladies on the dolphin cruise



We turned around to pose for a picture for Ann and a dolphin jumped out of the water behind us. Pretty cool!
