Florida Trip Part Two

When we left Baltimore, there were snow flurries............when we got to Florida, Florida was rather chilly. I have a newfound perspective of the term "chillin'" at this point. I ain't complaining, this is all good...........I am glad it isn't 100 degrees.........but let's just say that there are certain appendages on the male species that are not built for shockingly cold water. The pool heater apparently had not been turned on until we arrived and it needed some time to reach a nice comfort level.

Meanwhile......out in the yard.......well.......and just about everywhere else in Florida, I am reminded of one of the not so finer points of living or visiting Florida.................the infamous fire ants. Here you can see a few of their luxury homes.

While the fire ants are crawling up your legs and biting the daylights out of you, you would be doing what I was doing...............looking up instead of down...........always remember to watch where you walk in Florida...............but how could I not look upward at God's artwork? It is just so awesome.

Everyday, we can see another one of the finer things about Central Florida........its wildlife. In particular, the vultures........uh.........turkey buzzards. For some reason they seemed to want to congregate on the roof and in the yard of one of the homes nearby. I couldn't figure out why, exactly, that they choose that particular spot every day...........hmmmm.......vultures........vultures usually swarm over dead stuff in the road, don't they?........hmmmm.......I hope there ain't a dead person in that house.

Speaking of birds...........here is one of the towel sculptures that are in each bathroom of the "villa". I mention these because I saw none of this at the Occidental Grand Hotel in Aruba. It is a nice touch and is nice to see when you spend an enormous amount of money on vacation. On this one point alone, this "villa" beats out the Occidental Grand.

A bathroom for every bedroom.......and that is a necessity for a large family.

How hard would it have been for the maids at the Occidental Grand in Aruba to have done at least this?

The "villa" is a privately owned home that is rented out to vacationers who want to stay within ten minutes of Disney World. If you asked me, this sure beats staying at a hotel.

Fully furnished. Fully equipped........and very comfortable.

Big screen television..........computer for you to use...........perfect for a family.

Have a look around the place........

This area is on the second floor..............why fight over the tv?......there is one in every bedroom too.

The garage is converted to a play center with a couch, a pool table, a foosball table, and an air hockey table.

Here is the small breakfast table in the area that opens out to the pool.

Nice kitchen too.
Yep.......my son-in-law brought his margarita maker with him.........of course ......hehehe.

Would you spend Thanksgiving here at this place?.............that is what we are doing.

Have a look at the bedrooms.......if you can't fit a decent sized family in this house, you might want to go on a family diet for five years before taking a vacation.

What is not to like about this?

Six bedrooms.
The kids liked having their own rooms.

And my kids liked having their own rooms as well.

You can see what a value this place is.

Even the toilet has its own room in the master bathroom.

Here is where we will spend Thanksgiving 2008.

So far, so good :)

Stay Tuned..........Signtopia Goes To Disney!

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!
