Orlando, and Surrounding Areas
Our home until we left for summer vacation May 24.  Katie and I enjoying a day at Disney. Yes Dad will cook sometimes. Nikki and Katie getting ready to parasail. Parasailing over one of the lakes in Kississimee. Of course the mini at the campsite we stayed at before we left for vacation. At the beach in the Panhandle. Our first stop on our trip was what everyone in Florida calls the Panhandle. The northern top of Florida going west. This would be the last time this year we would see the beaches and sun of  Florida. We were headed to our new home in Napanee Ontario, Canada.
