Orlando

Ok, so we're sitting by the pool at the Best Western Plus in Orlando. What a great location. We are very close to Wet and Wild (not that we've gone there in years, but I'm just saying) and just down the street from Universal. No, I wouldn't want to walk there, but I think there is a shuttle. We always rent a car anyway. The place is clean, the pool is nice and there are a couple of hot tubs, nice way to spend a Sunday. We're here because we are going to the Halloween thing at universal.. It should serve to be a frightful night. More on that later. We ate at a great Mexican restaurant, AgaveAzul... Yummy! Now we have another good place to eat.

Nantucket

Ok, so I haven't gotten through the whole trip from a couple of weeks ago, but we went to Nantucket today, and I wanted to reflect on the day. We had a lot of fun! We had to get up waaaaay too early, because the boat on Hy-line was at 9:20 in Hyannis, so we had to leave our house by 7 am to get there. The trip over was pretty uneventful, the weather was warm and sunny, actually in the 80's in October, I guess we can't get any better than that! We walked around the town for a little bit,then paid too much for sandwiches at Brothers of Thieves (I think that's the name,) but they were good, and the nachos were awesome. From there we walked over to the coast guard station and hung out on the beach by the lighthouse for a little while. The weather was spectacular! We couldn't have asked for anything better. We were tired from having to get up too early, but it was a great day! I think we will try the steamship authority if we go back next summer.
