Our 20 day road trip to Florida and back.

Here we are leaving the first day. Starting out on our 4289.79 kilometer one way drive. I love road trips, you get to see such pretty country, lots of different types of scenery. Gives a person lots of time to think, ponder, and relax away from all the busyness of life.  Some of our best times were on road trips. 

I love this picture the clouds are amazing, the sky is so blue I love it. 

The first bridge we came across as we made the journey down south. 

This is the second bridge we saw as we continued our journey. I forgot to take pictures as we traveled there were long days and we ended up very tired and I would forget to take pictures.  So I will try to do better as we continue on this journey.

This picture is off the deck of our cruise ship.  Look at the color of that ocean. It was nice to walk the deck and take some pictures before we began our journey. 
The view from the other side of the ship.  I love the color of the ocean the weather is amazing nice and warm and I love the moisture in the air. I live in such a dry place that I enjoy the moisture in the air.  I know that not everyone loves being in a space that has humidity in it, but I love it. 


Every day a different type of towels was left on our beds buy those that came into look after the cleaning.  They are so amazing and cut it was great to see them everyday. 
Here are two more of the amazing creations made out of towels. One is a monkey and the other is a turtle you can't see him very well.

Not the best view when we came into the port after the cruise, but loving the sun and the warm weather. 

More of the port after the cruise from the food deck as I waited for my turn to get off and go through customs. It was an enjoyable morning siting and enjoying the weather. 

I love the views in Florida, look at all of the water, the clear skies and sun. If you can't tell I love the sun.  I can't be out in it for very long as I have very fair skin. But a little at a time works wonders for me.  And sun every day is a great thing. 

View of the Cruise ship that was in port beside us when we docked. 
This is the condo that we stayed at just outside of Disney World.  I loved it comfy beds, a kitchen to cook in so we didn't have to eat out every meal. A balcony to sit on and enjoy the weather, from the balcony you can see the pool and through the trees you can see the other condos.

Took a picture of the lamp as I like how shape of the base part.  

Sea World

The entrance of  Sea World in Orlando Florida has great flowers growing lots of color and very beautiful. The roller coaster in the top left was something that you could ride on and at the bottom you end up getting wet. Flamingo's and other animals to see, A water fall next to the roller coaster. The Bottom left picture is part of the dolphin show.

You can see the tail of the whale at this show. 

Loving the view as we go down road. It was amazing to see the tree lined highways.

Time out for Women Spokane Washington 2012
I had a great time,  lots of time with my sister.This pick shows some of the fun that we were able to have. We went to the mall to do some window shopping, but Jessica and a cousin of her husbands named Lindsay, got there hair cut in stead. We continued on a exploration journey and found a Chill's for dinner, it was the first time I had been there.  Some great and amazing food. I just had to take pictures of what we had to eat. Look at all of that great food. Lots to choose from and we had a great time relaxing and just having some great girl time. 

 As this was my first time to a Time out for Women I was not sure what to expect.  It was an amazing weekend, there were many great speakers, amazing talent that was shared. In attending I was able to learn many things about myself and what is most important in my life. It was amazing to see all of the women that are so like minded.  It was amazing to see the how much fun and enjoyment that can be had with good wholesome entertainment.
I love having picnic's when the weather is great, lots of public places to enjoy.  Places to sit and eat, great views, water to attract the animals, many places to walk and enjoy the Washington weather. It was great to have a place to walk and stretch the legs after siting for long hours at a time.  I really enjoyed my first Time out for Women I will be trying to go every year. 

I love staying in B&B's when I travel, they are more homey and those running the place are full of information about the area and historical facts that are important or interesting.  Each one has its personality, the one we stayed at had many antiques and had transformed a mansion into a B & B.  With several different apartments that can be lived in for one day or for longer periods of time. The area around the B&B is very beautiful 
 
I love these houses that were in the area, the ones at the top were across the street, the house in the middle was next door, the one on the bottom left is the one that we stayed at. The other one on the bottom was next door to were we stayed.  The area was quiet and beautiful lots of great architecture and piece.  I love it although I always love a peaceful place to relax and read a book.
