Orlando - June, 2005

During that last week in June every year those of us with kids know that there is often an awkward gap of a few days between the end of the school year and when day camp begins. Remembering that unbelievable deal on going to Florida the month before, I found an even better deal to go down to Orlando with my two girls for a few days.

Southwest Airlines out of Providence, another outstanding value at $54.99 each way AND on a non-stop flight as well! We really should call this the "Central Florida" trip since we shunned everything Disney and instead went to the Gulf Coast/Busch Gardens, Sea World and then the JFK Space Center and Daytona Beach.

OK Dad, Let's Hit the Park!!!	Kristie had a "Wild Time"at Busch Gardens
Hey, are there any "real" animals here?	Heading up Hill #1
Dad, Will this Ride be Scary???	Never Mind!!!
Should we be Worried???	Never Mind!!!
A great day at Busch Gardens comes to an end	Kissimmee Olde Towne (0 out of 5stars)
They call him Flipper	This is what happens when you sit in the 3rd row!
Kristie shows off her new "hair wrap"	OK Kerry, just take that picture!
Dad, enough pictures already!	Kristie cools off before leaving Sea World
Tarpon Springs on the Gulf Coast	Tarpon Springs is a Sponge Diving Port
It's also a Greek town?!	Another Pic in Tarpon Springs!
Daytona Beach on the Atlantic Side of Florida	Looks Nice From Here!
Driving on the Beach?!	A great deal of Ice Cream was consumed!
Ditto!	Back at the Hotel!
Again, another excellent Disney Alternative	Lots of really interesting stuff here
You don't even have to be a Rocket Scientist!	I think this planet rings a bell!
$109.98 worth of seats!
