The Land of the Mouse!

We're in Orlando, FL where the mouse is king, queen, and more. We are at the Thousand Trails park which puts us pretty close to the Magic Kingdom. We hear the fireworks going off every night and fight the traffic when we head up to town.

I realized I hadn't updated the site for over a month. Time just seems to get away from me. We've been here almost three weeks and will be moving over to Thousand Trails Peace River park. It is nearer Tampa, but only about a 60 mile drive for us from one to the other. Our plan is to do just that through the winter. Summer '09 is still open. The Pacific Northwest is calling but it is a long drive. Good thing we have lots of time to ponder.

The TT Orlando is a big park, and we've enjoyed being here. However our electric power and water went out about 1:00 am and we just got it back about 9:30 pm. Apparently the park has experienced similar problems in the recent past. Hopefully it is repaired to last this time.

John got his birthday present, and I got my Christmas present early. We got the new iPod touch. It is about the same as the iPhone without the phone. It does have a built-in Wi-Fi.

We've been trying to learn how to operate them. Probably need to hire a 10 year old to teach us. Have to admit, they are some kind of fun. However it has taken up time I usually spend on other things like keeping up the blog...

The weather here is wonderful now. Cold enough at night that we don't need the air conditioner and warm enough in the day to sit outside under the awning or hit the pools and or hot tub. It's a tough life but someone has to do it.
