Vacation

We are back from vacation...safe and sound.
The pictures will have to wait, though because while on vacation, our hard drive CRASHED in the computer...so sad. Hopefully that can be fixed soon or a new one bought.
Vacation was fun, though a lot of rain...TROPICAL STORM FAY sucks...I honestly spent four straight days in rain and had to ride rollercoasters in the down pour, but it definitely created memories that won't be forgotten!

VACATION DAY 1 & 2

Vacation Day 1: Saturday, August 16, 2008

4:15 am-woke up
5:30 am-on the road to Orlando
7:30 pm-arrived at the hotel in Orlando
Not a bad trip, but a LONG DAY

Vacation Day 2: Sunday, August 17, 2008
First day to the park...today's destination: Universal Studios
The day started off a little interesting because what should have been a 5 minute drive was more like 30 minutes, because I got confused looking at the map...thank goodness for the IPhone and GPS which saved the day!
Keith got to meet Bart after we had ridden the ride!
One of Keith's dream cars!

The picture of the picture we had taken at TGI Fridays...a pretty good one I think.
