Here we are - the final stop of our continental US tour.  We leave in just a few days for Oahu~~  Aloha

We've been watching the icy weather conditions in the North and can relate as Florida has been suffering a cold snap as well!  We learned last night on the local news, "cold" weather has officially moved into Central Florida.  Apparently the definition of "cold" in Florida is anything below 70 degrees.  Although we have been extremely unlucky with this terribly chilly weather, most of our time here was spent in the 80's.  Looks like we'll be steering clear of Lady Winter this year!

Here in Orlando we've seen and done some pretty amazing things: we've escaped dinosaur attacks, battled aliens, and blown up JAWS with a grenade launcher!!  We finished off our danger-filled days with some nachos & beer at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville.  (thanks Catherine!)  Mmm good times.

Oh yeah almost forgot, on our drive back from mini-golfing we found an upsidedown building!  They must have been raising money for renovations because they were charging an exorbitant price to take a look inside!  Needless to say we were unable to find out what was inside.  But we did manage to sneak a photo of the outside, check it out!

The coolest thing about Florida is that Dan Marino is on every other TV commercial!  Go Florida!
