Post by: Schadenfreude on October 21, 2008, 05:15:05 PM
Actually, it was fun, ill-conceived as it were.  :uhsure: Some night when I've had a few, I will bore you with the details.

Looking old and weathered next to my beautiful daughter....

It was beautiful down there in the low/mid 80s. Saltwater does horrible things to my hair and skin and I am kind of glad to be back home from that standpoint. It was humorous, there were Brits all around us. Now I am not really sure if they were faking the accent or not, peeps who travel  sometimes do that to sound more intelligent.  :uhsure:

In a Florida resort you'd be hard pressed not to run into Brits. It's the #1 long haul destination for us.  :-)

Many years ago I worked on a summer camp in upstate NY, and visited NY city, NJ and Boston while I was there, after that I went to see San Francisco for a couple of weeks. Other than that I had the rather grim experience of being a transit passenger at Miami airport. Unfortunately I haven't made it back again. :(

Thanks for sharing the pics.  I'm jealous that you got a vacation.  I'm hoping that soon I'll be able to leave my homestead for a few days, while I'm on break from school at the end of November.

Where did you beach it at?
I did what I could on the weather for you. Glad to see you enjoyed it.  :-*

I'm off to see Shamu next weekend. Rumors are they'll re-up our years passes for $20 a head if we ask. We're going to  :rotf:

What? No warning to the dangers of posting such things?  :o :tongue:

Schade...how dare you go south when I'm not there too :hammer: JK

You look terrific...you really do and the kids are growing like weeds. I'm glad you got away and had a wonderful time(except for the salt water thing).  :-*

Schade is a lost cause.  I have come to expect pictures of her in the same way I expect the sun to rise ;)

My love for her (pure and chaste from afar) keeps her safe.

You didn't believe me.

It is incredibly expensive when you don't know what you're doing.  :uhsure:

The best times were at the beaches on the gulf side and it was free. Seriously......

Tis simply stunning to hear you all had such a glorious adventure!  I had really hoped it would be a wonderful time for all of you; with good memories, a sense of serenity, and lots of family love.

BTW, you and your daughter have ravishingly gorgeous eyes!   :cheersmate:

Thanks Vonne, I was telling her that her eyes were gorgeous.  I am a mother who is most richly blessed.

We went to Cocoa and Clearwater. I would have liked to have had more beach days if you must know.  :hyper:

Oh wow on the re-up deal... for 5 of us to do Sea World and Bush Gardens it was $500 smackers. I guess I am a tight wad.  :-)

You cruised right on past my house on the way to Cocoa Beach, I'm 1/2 mile west of I-95. I'll assume you came over on 528 (The Beachline LOL), if so you missed me by 2 miles.  :-*

Oh... next time we shall meet in FL.

On the first night, we got in late and we were driving along I4, a motorcycle zoomed by us. About a mile up the road, we came to a curved overpass with a cop at the foot of the overpass. Up a ways, there was the motorcycle on its side and no driver. 30 ft below on another freeway the emergency vehicles were stopped along the shoulder. Apparently the motorcyclist was launched over the overpass to the ground below. It was a sobering moment to be sure.

No, just Sea World and Busch Gardens. We only had 4 full days down there, I'll be damned if I would spend the entire time in a sea of humanity. I'd much rather be playing in the ocean.

Nothing wrong with being old (esp. when you look like you).
