Florida and Family Continues

Our Cincinnati neighbors who now live in The Villages came to visit on Saturday.  The kids took off to Kristin’s for various reasons.  The cats needed to be fed, Kara needed to print something off a computer, Bill was doing some measurement for whatever his next project at Kristin’s is and Pat needed to pick up his wind surfing kite.  I can’t remember why Kelly went other than everyone else was.

We had a terrific visit and Texas Roadhouse lunch with Marge and Steve. We lived next door to them before moving to Michigan in 1981.  They stayed from 11:30 until 5:00 when we needed to leave for church.  The kids ate while out, went to church at 5:00 and we all showed up back at the condo about the same time.  

I didn’t mention how nice this condo is!  There are 4/4 beds and baths with a half bath off the downstairs hall.  Everyone has a king bed and bath so we all have our own space, there is a fully equipped kitchen with seating for 10 to eat.  There also is a laundry room.  We have a balcony with lounge chairs and a back deck with an outside kitchen and seating for 6.  We are very close to Disney which is great but the traffic can be crazy until you learn the back roads which Kara knew.  

Sunday it rained all day.  Our plans were lunch at the Boathouse at Disney Springs.  We had umbrellas in the car and Kara had ponchos so we made do.  An entertainer Kara and Kelly follow was playing one of the dueling pianos and we got to sit in the boat!

 

We took Bill and Kara to the airport on Monday morning, Patrick was long gone to Cocoa Beach to ride his windsurf kite “thing.”  The girls, Ted and I decided to return to the orange groves to finish visiting what we had not seen when we had to leave for Kara’s work zoom call.  It is tough to be a VP and try to go on vacation!  

The Simpson’s, fresh from Universal Studios we surmised; also a turtle that CeCe will like.  She saw Hawaii photos of turtles and when talk of going there came up, she told us how much she likes turtles.  And most everyone recognizes the famous hostess of Cincinnati’s famous Frisch’s Big Boy!  The rest are just random shots.  Lots of things to occupy kids besides Mickey and Disney.

We bought Dole Whips and sat in rocking chairs in the sun!
