After the 4th - we worked on trying to get the house finished in time for our mad dash across the US! Brayana joined Keith and I in our summer trip to Florida to get the final load of our belongings out of storage there. And to bring the pickup back out here to the West Coast. We stayed at the Holiday Inn on the beach for a few days while we re-connected with Barb and Jim, and, Jessie and John from Lakewood Village. The summer Florida heat is something that is definately for those strong at heart - not for a weakling like me! About all I wanted to do was to sit in the relative cool of the ocean breezes!

| Headed out to see the SEA TURTLES and the wreck just off the beach with the kayak and snorkles! |
 |
| On the way to DisneyWorld - the pick was Magic Kingdom! |
 |
We did Magic Kingdom until the wee hours of the morning - we caught the last bus back to the hotel at 1:30 am!
|
The heat was about to get the best of all of us! I do believe that it was well over 100 degrees but even that didn't stop us from riding all the rides and walking the whole park. I don't think there was anything that Brayana wanted to ride that we didn't make it too. Right up until closing time! I had a great time ~ I was sure tired when we got back to the hotel! :-)
And after the Magic Kingdom we took off for Kentucky. That oppressive summer heat stayed with us the entire drive. I had wanted to stop at the Lookout Mountain (that had been on my bucket list for years) but it was just to hot! Maybe next time!
We made it to Ken and Dolores's home in Kentucky in record time - and got started in trying to make sure that all went well for Mom Beatty's 90th birthday on Saturday. We went over and had lunch in Charlestown, checked out the Church, had a great visit and got pretty well caught up since the last visit. Brayana kept saying "I think I was here, I think I've been here before" and it turned out - she had already actually visited both Dolores's and Mom's homes when they visited Elizabeth and Brennan a few years ago. So she got to revisit and remember!

Dolores making sure that all is coordinated for the Party!

And here is my disclaimer for the time stamps! I forgot to change the time and then it got changed to 12 hours later than it was - So if it looks like it's close to midnight - it was probably closer to noon!!
Sorry!!
