Our Celebration in Disneyworld

Image
  Friday was spent in EPCOT Wednesday - Lulu taught her last class at FSU for the semester. When they ask the famous athletes after the Super Bowl - what are they going to do - they all say - I am going to Disneyworld. So Thursday morning we woke up early - piled into the red car - and drove to the happiest place in the world.  Lulu always wanted to stay at the Grand Floridian Hotel - so now she had her wish. With the Florida resident 30% discount - we spent two nights there - and enjoyed a day in Epcot.  Lulu was considering retiring as a professor - her problem is - she loves her job.

A Weekend At Grayson Beach

There were 2 red flags out that meant no swimming. Water was 71 degrees and I did not want any of that.  People reserve campgrounds way in advance. There is also a deep discount for Florida residents and old people. Lulu got on the computer and got a nice spot for $30 total - that included reservation fee and utilities.
