After the cruise we had a few extra days to hang out in Florida. Don't ask how those extra days got there.. just know that we had a lot of spontaneous fun with them.
First we rented a car so we weren't tied down to the Miami, South Beach area.
We drove to the Everglades where we jumped on an airboat and went for a whirl... attempting to see some alligators in their natural habitat, however the impending torrential downpour put a damper on things.
Our boat captain tried desperately to circumvent the rain but we, the passengers, got tired of sitting around and told him to just go for it.
We did get to see some alligators and that was pretty cool, but we mostly just enjoyed the boat ride and the rain.
We jumped back into the car without a plan... turns out the driver had an idea in mind.. the car mysteriously ended up here
How can you be so close to the Key's and not visit for some Key lime pie? So we made a stop..or two :) as we were leaving the factory I saw a sign for Tuna Nachos and I had to try some! Turns out it was sushi on top of wontons, DELICIOUS! We ordered a key lime pie here too so we could compare the taste to the other.
The next morning we got up super early and headed to the place where dreams come true....Disney World!! Animal Kingdom was first on the list.. and yes that beautiful blonde is our friend! 10 points if you know her name..... She has been in a blog before... Hint: She took good care of me when I was in the hospital in Korea!
Because we had time we skipped over to another park.. well after we found the car we did :) Always write down where you park!
You can't really see the big ball in the background, but if you could you would know we were at EPCOT! While we were there we celebrated Nick's birthday at the German restaurant. We danced the polka together and it was fun.
In the middle of the day I got a call that our Scuba diving adventure was cancelled due to some bad weather, so we stayed up in Disney for another day. We were able to visit the other two parks before we headed home.
Magic Kingdom
Hollywood Studios
When it comes to spontaneous trips, this one has to be one of the best. Not only did we get to enjoy a fantastic time at four Disney World parks but we got to do it with a great friend. We were doubly lucky it didn't cost us an arm and a leg either! Let me tell you this trip is one for the memory books!
