Orlando Trip

The last week in February, John had a convention in Orlando to attend for 2 1/2 days and I went along thinking it would be great to have some sunny warm weather for a change.  We stayed about 3 more days after the convention was over with one of my cousins and saw a few of the sights around Orlando.2015-02-25-15.32.33 We had a great time while there but as far as sunny and warm, that really didn’t happen after the first day there.  The temperatures stayed in the 60s most days and one day was mid 50s, windy, damp and down right cold. IMG_3443One of the best places we visited was Blue Spring State Park.  The warmer water of the spring attract the manatees during this time of year.  The water was so clear and we spent a lot of time watching them.  It was a beautiful place and we were so glad we got to see them.IMG_3516The Kennedy Space Center was really interesting and we could have spent much more time there even though we got there by 10:30 and left at closing time.  Loved seeing a moon rover, Saturn 5 rocket and all the the rest.IMG_3559

Until later,
Lynn

You visited places very close to me. I'm glad you had a great time. So sorry we didn't have better weather then. It's gorgeous and sunny today with temps in the low 80s. You'll have to come again.
