Orlando with the girls (October 10-14)

So Melinda and Kate (both working with Symantec) had a work convention in Orlando FL this last week and asked Corrine and I to fly out for the weekend and play. Corrine and I left on Wednesday morning (6:00 am flight) and headed East. We arrived at 4:00 pm and Melinda picked us up. Corrine and I basically crashed that night while Melinda and Kate enjoyed their activities at Universal Studios with their company.

Thursday as they were finishing up Corrine and I spent the day at the Kennedy Space Center. Wow! It was fascinating. The shuttle will launch on October 23rd and it sits on the pad for 30 days before launch and so we were able to see it. Thursday night they finished with their commitments and we had dinner and then crashed again.

Friday and Saturday we spent at Disney World hitting four parks in two days! It was a whirlwind, but we had a lot of fun. Long days and short nights is a good description! Melinda has all of the pictures and so I will post some when they arrive.

Sunday we got up and went to sacrament meeting in the Windermere ward which meets across from the Orlando Temple. We took some pictures at the temple and then it was time to start heading back. Corrine and I got back to LAX about 10:15 pm. We were surprised to arrive at the car and find a dead battery. Gratefully we called AAA and within a half hour we were on our way home!

Thanks to Melinda and Kate for the invite! We had a great weekend!

Thanks for coming! I had a blast. It was great to actually do something besides work in Florida! :)

I am glad that you got to go on another trip. I loved the Space Center when we went to Orlando 10 years ago! I think it is the best place in Florida to visit!
