Our Trip To Visit Family

This is what happens when siblings spend too much time in the car together.

We began our visit down in sunny, warm Florida. Mimi and Papa have bought a new home and they are giving it a little bit of a face lift. We got to help for a day or two with a few demolition projects. There is just something gratifying about wielding a hammer to tear something up. We took out a whole cabinet set and a breakfast bar that had seen better days. Gracie helped Mimi install all new cabinet knobs on the kitchen cabinets. In the yard of their new house is a grapefruit tree. Gracie was thrilled at being able to go pick a grapefruit and eat it right then. I was pretty excited about that myself. We brought home a large bag full which we are still enjoying. Gotta love living in Florida!
It was not all work and no play. We spent one afternoon in Orlando shopping at the enormous Florida Mall where we ate dinner at Buca di Beppo. Buca is a fabulous Italian restaurant where you can make reservations to eat in the kitchen at the "kitchen table". You get to watch all the inner workings of the kitchen and you get a little special treatment. You also get to sample more than you ordered if you make friends with the chef. We left stuffed!!! From there it was over to Orlando Int. to pick up Lee. The next day we were off to Disney! Read all about our day at Disney in another post.
All of our Florida, Georgia and Disney pics can be viewed in our Picasa web album.
