We are still in the middle of the Covid Pandemic. It has been a long time since things were back to normal. They still are not. However we decide to take a trip to Florida. We loaded up our masks and hand sanitizer and flew to Orlando. We arrived late evening. The rental cars were mostly out and the staff was getting ready to leave. So they gave us a brand new Audi that was really nice. We were about the only people at the Marriott resort.
There was a golf course on site. We decided to give it a try. There were gators in the ponds. It was really humid. We golfed with a guy and his young son. He was a pretty intense golfer. I was still post knee surgery so I was pretty timid. We had a good time.
Our condo was nice. Our balcony overlooked the golf course. There was a pond with fun birds hanging out in it. We played cars every evening on the patio in the dark. It was very cozy.
While we were there a Hurricane was hanging around. So we had a bit of rain and wind. We drove to the coast and checked out the big waves. We sat on our deck even when it was raining.
The traditional trip to Cocoa Beach and Ron Jon surf shop. It has expanded a lot since our first time we went there with all of the kids. We spent time looking around and buying 12 days of Christmas gifts.
The Hurricane did not keep us down. We drove to the other side of Florida and looked around. It was stormy there also but fun for us from Idaho. We looked around Clearwater and drove a ways down the coast to the little beach towns.
We decided we would do one park and settled on Epcot Center. We went to the Animal Kingdom last year. It was fun. It has not changed a lot since we went with all the kids so long ago. We walked all day and did about 15,000 steps which was good for my new knee. We stood right here with the kids long ago on a Christmas trip to Florida.
Ain't that the truth. Good old George Orwell.
Here is a picture of one of Jeff's buddies when they were still young. Now we are good friends with the Beesley's. We golf and have a lot of fun.
Jeff is the master omelette maker. He loves to cook breakfast.
We did a Thanksgiving Zoom visit with everyone. We miss seeing them and getting together.
We did Thanksgiving dinner by ourselves. Damn Covid.
Jeff decided he wanted to try making a Beef Wellington. He worked on it for two days. It was very good. Kudos to him.
Bart and Joanne joined us for dinner. We had a good feed and a good visit.
We discovered this channel in Peru. Jeff figured out how to get here. So we listen to it all the time. Everyone loves it when we have it on. Radio Mágica...
We do puzzles non stop during Covid. It is calming and keeps us busy. The only problem is Jeff and I have different systems. He sorts by shape and I sort by color or print. We manage to finish them eventually.
Baby boy and his mommy sleeping together. He is getting bigger.
