Nashville, Sea World and Todd's Place

We are here in sunny & humid Florida. Orlando is great, Todd's place is so nice and the area he lives in is just like out of a movie set. I would think we were in Hollywood if I didn't know better. He lives in Orlando but not in the tourist area, he lives on Baldwin Park Lake area and it is really cool. Lots of neat shops: like a place you can go to make your own fudge and a cute children's boutique and brick laid streets everywhere.


Lydia is enjoying everything, she loves to investigate Todd's many things. We are teaching him the ways of childproofing a home. Thursday she loved Sea World more than we could have ever imagined. We were there for 12 hours and she was a major champ. She took a couple of short naps, clapped at all the shows, squeeled with glee and waved to all the animals. The shows were incredible. Lydia loved Shamu and the dolphins and especially Seasme Street Live. We took her to meet Elmo before the show and she loved him from afar, but close up was another story. It was a great day, espeically as a practice run for WDW on Saturday.


We started our trip on Tuesday by staying the night in Nashville. We swam at the hotel pool and then we visited with our good pals David and Maggie. They haven't changed a bit. Maggie is still sweet as pie and David, well David is David-hillarious! Lydia has enjoyed seeing our buddies. She loved hanging with them Tuesday night and loves following Todd around everywhere with her arms up for him to hold her.


Here are some pics from visiting with David, Maggie in Nashville and Tood in Orlando, and of course Sea World. We are off to the beach today so check back for beach pics!
