Misc. things in Florida

Besides eating at Wolfgang Puck's, we also ate dinner at Bubba Gump's on Universal's City Walk. The food was so good. Rich ordered a shrimp sample plate after we had a stack of onion rings. And I wanted to wash them down with this yummy Pina Colada Strawberry Swirl drink. It was all heaven. I would love to eat here again. And at the table they have a sign you flip over when you want help - or your waitress for something. This is an ingenious idea. No more trying to flag down the waitress as she zooms by. Everyone knows. Why don't all restaurants have this feature??
We also ate some more italian, this time we went to the Macaroni Grill, and this was exactly what we wanted when we wanted italian the other day. Max, at the bottom was spent after trying his first calamari! He loved crunching down on those tiny curly little legs. Rich made me eat one too, just to say that I had. I have no comment about that.
Our hotel room was actually a mini condo - time share. It had a kitchenette. So we found a grocery store and bought breakfast things. I don't love eating out for breakfast, so this was perfect, and it got our days started a little faster.
The cool thing about our time share was that we went to a 90 minute presentation and we got $100 cash! That helped out with some of our expenses.
We had a rental car in Florida, and since we were going so many places that we didn't know how to get to, we rented a GPS Navigation system. We lovingly called her 'Jackie'. Jackie was spot on with guiding us to our destinations. It was so worry free. I definitely want to own one of these.
The weather in Orlando, FL was so perfect while we were there. It was sunny and warm. Not humid at all. And it couldn't have been better.
I think Max really enjoyed all the quiet time alone without the poking and prodding from his loving brother and sister.
