Personally, I was not too keen on the idea at first. Florida is humid and hot. I don't do humid and hot well. I can tolerate dry heat much better and forever long to be back out West. There are still many places I would like to explore there. But Florida? Not too high on my priorities list. I know, I know, there's so much for the kids to do there. But that also entails long lines that are the equivalent of cattle herding a bunch of people who are too close for comfort. Ick. You see where I am going with this.
Our original itinerary was to go down western Florida, out to the Keys and then back up the eastern side and hit the theme parks on the way home. My husband thought it would be a great idea to spend the 4th of July at Epcot Center since their fireworks show is so spectacular. This sounded like a recipe for disaster to me. Take my original apprehension and multiply it by 10. I explained this was not a good idea and sounded like total chaos to me. The spouse thought I was raining on his parade by being Debbie Downer just for the fun of it. It took a friend of mine who works for Universal Studios to say it was a crazy idea for my husband to actually believe it. **Sigh**

So, our plans changed. I had spent the Thursday night we left driving straight through from NC to Tampa. But now, it was decided we needed to go to the Disney parks sooner than later, so we crossed the state and settled down in Kissimmee for a couple days. I will write separate blogs about each of our stops because things like Disney deserve their own entries! So far, we have been to Tampa/St. Pete, the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot Center, Vero Beach, Juno Beach, the Florida Keys, the Everglades, Siesta Key, Weeki Wachi, the Kennedy Space Center and now we are in Jacksonville. Whew!! Just typing that made me tired!
