Florida 2010 Day #3


We finally realized that we can use Al's phone to take pictures, so that everybody can feel like they are right here with us in Florida. Isn't that nice of me?

Here we are at the Wolfgang Puck restaurant. We didn't get to see Wolfgang himself, but there were plenty of pictures of him on the walls. It was almost like he was there watching over us as we ate dinner!

Then we ran across this trio in Downtown Disney. We fantisized about how different our lives could have been. When we were younger Al played cello, I played violin, and Aaron played oboe. We could be living in Orlando performing on the boardwalk every night together as a little family trio. Our cd would sell like hotcakes and we could call ouselves "Wiggin with the Davis'". If only things had gone differently for us.....

Next we checked out the lego displays in Downtown Disney. Somebody had a lot of free time on their hands.....

Finally we checked out another outlet mall. The stores closed at 11pm and we literally shopped until we got kicked out of the mall by the cleaning crew. It was so nice to shop at night after the crowds thinned out a bit!

The highlight of our day, though, was watching the Space Shuttle take of this afternoon. We could see it from our hotel. The fire from the rocket engines was huge when it took off! It went up so fast it was hard to believe! After it was up the shuttle left a trail in the sky that lasted for 30 minutes or so. It was the very last time that this particular shuttle will be going up. It is retiring after this flight, so it was a historical event as well!
We are looking forward to a morning of fun together before we get to see our kiddos back home tomorrow night!
