Made It To Florida!
Sorry I didn't post until today, but I did not have access to the internet.
I'm happy to say, we made it to Florida. We arrived in Orlando on Friday. We were going to check out Sun N Fun that afternoon, but it was late and I was really tired. I mean, REALLY tired! We ended up going yesterday and today. I must admit, I was so sad when I saw the planes that were damaged and/or destroyed by the massive storm that ripped through the Lakeland Airport on Thursday. We were told that around forty planes were damaged. Some were home-builts. In other words, people spent years - literally hundreds of hours building these planes, only to have them destroyed by a freak storm:
Despite the damage, the show went on!
It was a great time - we visited many vendors and shops, checked out some of the ground displays, and watched the air shows. Unfortunately, the sun and heat had a negative effect on me, and I only lasted two to three hours each day. Oh well, I still had a blast and would love to go back next year.
We stayed at the Oak-K Run bed and breakfast in Lakeland, Florida. It was AMAZING! I will post some property pictures on tomorrow night's blog (as it's getting late and I'm a little pooped!) In the meantime, here a few of the critters on the farm:
I will certainly post more pics and details of our trip so far tomorrow. I think I'm about ready to take a sleeping pill (yes, I have insomnia) and go to bed.
Today's symptoms: Very fatigued today due to my last three days of travel and excitement. I've had a pretty bad headache today, but I'm trying to refrain from taking anything for it - I usually don't take any type of pain killer until the pain has affected my ability to function. I keep reading this blog before publishing, and find errors each time. Needless to say, my mind isn't overly sharp today!
