Having Fun in Sunny (but Cold) Florida

Well, we all have been having tons of fun in Florida. Thanksgiving day was a great time with the family and friends, and of course the delicious meal most of us helped cook. Yesterday, everyone except Dad went to the Universal theme parks. We went on as many rides as we could. We were never able to get on the new roller coaster, Rock It, because it always had an 1.5 hour+ wait time. That’s too long. Today we are heading out to look at any manatees that may be in the river and maybe do a bit of shopping. Unfortunately, our trip comes to an end tomorrow when we have to head back to VA.

I have uploaded the pictures take so far. Here’s a link:

Florida - Thanksgiving 2009

On a side note with the blog, we have everything finished. The pictures are now being hosted on Picasa and are linked through using a couple of plugins. It makes things very nice, fast, and extremely easy to use (Katie needs that).

Back to Florida

So we finished re-uploading the pictures last night. We’ve switched over to using Picassa and changed around the theme a bit. I hope everyone enjoys the changes to the Photo Gallery.

Since then, we’ve started our drive down to Florida. Mary Jane and her boyfriend, Adam, are tagging along so Chase doesn’t have just me to keep him company and awake during the drive. We’re currently relaxing at the hotel in Richmond Hill for the night. Tomorrow we’ll finish the rest of the drive.

Update Part 2

Katie and I are still working on re-uploading the pictures. It is time consuming and exceptionally slow given the speed that our hosting runs at. We also had to change the theme one more time, as the previous one was not wanting to play nice with the new photo gallery plugin. It will be done soon.
