Fur Babies

While we were out on vacation, the dogs were too. We have found a new sitter on Rover who watched the dogs for a weekend last month and then for spring break. They had a lot of fun with Leslie's pug Patrick and other dogs that were staying at her house. They came home plenty tired after days and days of playing with all their new friends.

 

Spring Break Vacation Day Eight

On Sunday we checked out of our condo and headed for Tampa. We visited Busch Gardens as a family. Wesley and Davis had fun cards from a previous visit with the church - Daryl, Parker and I all won free one day tickets at the Bucs game on Christmas break. We rode the train through the animal enclosures and hit a couple of the roller coasters: Tigris and Iron Gwazi. 

 We also visited the ice skating show at the Moroccan Palace. 

 

 

I was the only one to the Falcoln's Fury drop. 

Afterwards we found a Bahama Breeze for dinner and then we parted ways - Parker back to Lakeland and the rest of us home to Sarasota (and to pick up the dogs). 

Spring Break Vacation Day Seven

Saturday we spent some time in Epcot again. 

 

We had lunch at the new Space 220 restaurant next to Mission Space. 

You take a special "space elevator" to the space station. 

When you get up to the space station you get to see the space garden.

And then you step into the restaurant with the spectacular views of earth in the windows. 

 

 The food was awesome too. Some of the guys got Caesar salads and others got shrimp tacos for an appetizer. My special appetizer was brussel sprouts. Daryl and I both got beverages that included pomegranate, orange and guava juice with rum (his also had boba). 

Entrees included steak and frites, burgers and pad thai. I also got steak with fingerling potatoes and green beans. 

This was our ride back down to earth in the "space elevator." 

 

After lunch, Daryl and the big boys went back to the resort. I honored a promise to Davis to take him back to Hollywood Studios for Rock N Roll Coaster and Tower of Terror. We rode the bus over and had fun hanging out. 

We walked out to the back of the parking lot and Daryl and Parker picked us up to go to Port Orleans French Quarter resort for beignets. This time the guys tried the beignet sundaes while I got the allergy friendly beignets.

 And we finished up the night with some shopping and fun at Disney Springs.
