The O'Connors

The first full day in Florida. We had a great day! I will try to get some photos uploaded tomorrow.

The day started with breakfast at the condo. Then we headed to Old Town. It is a shopping and attraction area near the resort.  There were lots of interesting shops. Timothy really enjoyed Black Market Minerals and bought some cool stones and marbles. Dad got a new leather hat and wallet.  Timothy and Brent went on go-karts. At first Timothy was a bit uncertain about the idea once he got in the kart but then he really had fun.

At the Old Town Portrait Gallery we had family pictures taken dressed up as cowboys and southern belles. We got printed pictures and a CD. They turned out really well. I will post some as soon as I can figure out if I can download them. The digital pics are on a CD and I don’t have a CD drive on the netbook. We had lunch at Tex Mex.

This afternoon we headed to SeaWorld for a part day. Our tickets allow for a free second day so we decided to split our visit over two days.  This afternoon we visited the manta aquarium, sea turtles, pelicans, and other animals. Timothy really enjoyed the geckos around the area too. The highlight of the afternoon was the whale show called One Ocean. We all really enjoyed the show. Timothy and Brent set in the soak zone and had a great time getting splashed. The whales were great and they did some great tricks with the trainers. We are planning to go back on Tuesday to see more animals and the dolphin shows.

After supper at Olive Garden we headed back to the condo for a quiet night. An early night to bed for all I think.  Tomorrow is going to be a relaxed day at the resort and maybe a little shopping.  Looking forward to the rest of the week.
