| | Jean and Donna traveled to Florida in late October, 2000. It was
"teacher convention" weekend for them, and they learned a lot of
educational things. Really. Sure. Definitely. They
did!

Here we can see Jean and Donna, about to land in Orlando. If you
look real close, you can see them in the window, flapping their arms
furiously. |
 |
Here they are, getting off the plane. "De-plane,
de-plane," Tattoo was heard to say! And "welcome to fantasy
island," said Mr. Rourke! |
 |
What visit would be complete without a "Leon Dinner?"
In this case, we had "Emeril's
Pierogi." |
 |
Of course, the "stars" of the weekend were the guests of
honor, Jean and Donna (or Donna and Jean, depending on who you
ask). "Hey.... mom liked you best!" |
 |
After several trips to the trash can, we were able to remove the
empties and make room to take this photo of Jean and Donna, resting on
the (new) back patio. Miller
made a mint this weekend! |
 |
A trip to Florida is not complete without a trip to Disney
World. In this case, we went to EPCOT center and enjoyed the Food
and Wine Festival. Yes, we were a few pounds heavier on the way
out--but very happy! We also enjoyed the Millennium Celebration, and the
Illuminations fireworks show was awesome! |
 |
Here we are just outside of EPCOT. It was a typical, beautiful,
October day in sunny Florida. |
 |
Rick, Jean, and Donna, outside of EPCOT. Soaking up a few rays
and squinting into the sun, eager to enter EPCOT. |
 |
AT&T sponsors the Planet Earth pavillion (the big ball in the
above picture), and as employees, Rick and I got the VIP
treatment. Here we are relaxing in the ATT lounge prior to getting
priority seating on the ride. The attendant was kind enough to
snap this pic! |
 |
A trip to Florida would not be complete without a visit to Universal's
City Walk. We had a great dinner
at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville.
This picture was taken just outside the Hard
Rock Cafe. Donna is proudly showing off Jean's trinket...a blinking
beer cap. Who said entertainment has to be expensive? |
 |
Donna, the Viking Princess. Need I say more? |
 |
Jean, the surfer dudette.......??!? |
 |
All good things must come to an end....temporarily, at least.
Ever hear of the movie, "Same Time, Next Year?" |
 |
Almost home, their arms were very tired by this time. Home to a
nice clean house... quiet, restful, peaceful... home. Hey, whose
home did you go to?? |
