We arrived in Orlando and, in addition to Mickey Mouse, Spiderman and the Cat in the Hat, we found warm weather and sunny skies.

On our last night in Orlando, we played Lord and Lady for the evening at a Medievel Feast. Great food, good entertainment, impressive horses, and our knight, the Red Knight, was victorious in many of the events.
On Saturday we headed out on the road again and set up camp in the small town of Wauchula. It is here that we will be joined by my Mom and Dad for several days.
