Florida - Day 4

From Rest Day

Today was a much needed and much appreciated slow down day. M and I slept in after a long night at Universal celebrating the New Year. Breakfast was on the agenda at around 12:30 and luckily there’s a restaurant just down the road from the hotel that serves it all day long. M, being the smart eater grabbed a fruit bowl and some biscuits and I gorged myself on one of their mega plates with all the fixin's. Off we went to De Leon to visit the family.

From Rest Day

It was a good day with M’s family. We visited with her Aunt Brenda before we went back to her Dad’s for some more R and R. The picture of the hibiscus was taken in Aunt Brenda’s yard, and the orange tree picture at the top of the blog was taken in Dad’s yard. We took an orange with us… and now we’re going to ask Dad to send us some on a regular basis because they’re delicious! M’s brother Nick entertained us with a decent little fireworks display while her Dad and I enjoyed a cigar. M’s other brother Eric was still feeling the effects of last night’s celebration and hit the bed early; too bad for him though because he missed out on a pretty good pizza.

We’re meeting up with Eric, Nick and Vinny at Magic Kingdom tomorrow so this is going to be a short post because I’m finishing up with some laundry, then I’m hitting the sack. I’m sure we’ll have a ton of stuff to talk about tomorrow.

Good night.
