There is even less that I can say about today than yesterday. I\u2019m almost speechless, which is a rare thing for me! <\/p>\n

Discovery Cove was not cheap. But I\u2019m glad I spent the money. The photos above tell our story, but don\u2019t show the amazing snorkeling pool full of wonderful fish you can see up close and personal or the Lazy River. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve received several questions from readers which I thought I\u2019d answer right here . . . <\/p>\n

First . . . No!<\/em> I have not received funding from the Florida Tourist Board or any company for this blog series! But if anyone reading this runs an Orlando-based restaurant or tourist attraction and wants to offer me something free for a mention on the blog, I\u2019m certainly open to such an arrangement!! <\/p>\n

Second . . . someone asked about the video clips. I can confirm that I am just uploading them without any editing straight from the 640\u00d7480 video that my Canon PowerShot A700 takes. <\/p>\n

Third . . . I have been asked if we plan to go to church. I can confirm that this Sunday we will not be going\u2014there just seems to be too much to do. I know many Christians take different positions on going to church on vacation. On the one hand, it\u2019s really great to visit another church. But on the other hand, especially for preachers and other church leaders, it can interrupt the sense of a break. It is just impossible to go to a church without assessing it and thinking about what we can learn to \u201ctake back home.\u201d So, at least for this Sunday, we won\u2019t be going. Next Sunday, depending on how we are getting on at Disney, might be a different story. <\/p>\n

Tomorrow I think we will go to Sea World.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
