Tony Tours Orlando Part 2 - Florida's Fauna

As promised in Part 1...here are some pics of Florida's Animal Life.

I wish I could have captured more but this is what I saw...

Look for more pics from our Florida trip!!

Tony Tours Orlando & Florida's Flora

Hey everyone, I'M BACK !!

My youngest daughter, Katrina, performed with her dance troupe at Disney last week. We decided to make a family vacation out of it and went for 2 weeks.

We hit the parks:

Disney (Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Animal Kingdom),

Universal, &

Sea World.

We also spent time at the resort pool. I even took my two older kids to Cocoa Beach!

Some of the nights we went to a dinner show. All lots of fun!

Yes, it was HOT!! However, we had odd weather as well.

We all know how Florida seems to have it's own weather pattern...rain comes through briefly some time during the day.

This trip, it rained everyday and for a longer period of time. There was no rhyme or reason to it. At least it cooled things off for a while.

Se La Vie!

Check out some pics I snapped of the Flora around Florida...

Next entry...Florida's Fauna!

Pretty tree-lined neighborhoods,

Has a small town feel.
