I dropped my parents off at the Southwest Florida Int. Airport and then Jake and I headed North to Orlando to spend a few days with Kevin's Parents! They have been full time RVing for 8 years with no signs of stopping until they both started having some medical problems that hinders their on-the-road lifestyle, for now. They've stayed at this nice park for quite a while, since Thanksgiving, actually. What's important is getting things fixed and getting them fixed the right way! Unfortunately, it hasn't been right away but they're managing with help of some helpful neighbors. One day(hopefully soon), they can get out of Florida and breathe the open air and no humidity! Central Florida in June is like a pizza oven haha. Thank the Lord for not 1, but 2 big pools we were able to enjoy before the daily rain storm invaded :-)
We arrived safe 'n sound as the clouds rolled in but we knew to follow Papa's truck to the site. The plan was to head to Toys R Us for some birthday shopping for Jake and unfortunately we went to 3 places that didn't have what we were looking for. Wow GPS and traffic can suck it in Orlando on a Friday night! Holy cow that was frustrating for all! We decided to ditch the effort and head to Miller Alehouse for a fantastic meal we were all craving! I had just about a whole pizza, Jake had spaghetti n meatballs, and Grandma and Papa both had the Cobb Salad. We headed to the homestead and visited before turning in for the night.
The next morning, the neighbors (Barb and......?) came over for a wonderful broccoli quiche, fruit salad, and coffee. They were headed to Oregon to take care of family business later that day so Peggy invited them over. Such lovely people who are super easy to talk with!
After breakfast, we attempted another Birthday run, to none other than the circle store (Target). Well wouldn't you know it they had what we were looking for! Now we know :-\
Paul drove the neighbors to the airport and we headed to the pool! Jake got to use the squirt gun but I feel Grandma enjoyed herself more hahah
Quick note: Happy Birthday Kevin! Wish you were here enjoying Florida with us! Congratulations on the promotion at work though! You deserve it! Show you-know-who hell!
Ahhhh hahahahahah a pizza oven... so true! Glad you had a fun time. love that last photo of grandma getting Jake!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's like living in an oven every day! We're getting better every day, but it's been a tough road. We had so much fun with Jake, he's such an adorable boy. happy Birthday, Kevin. What a birthday present though, promotion to take over the restaurant finally went through.
