Last Day before Returning Home

Today was the last day in Orlando, for tomorrow morning at 10:00 we will be sitting on a plane, ready to leave the Sunshine State for snowy Indiana.

I have been ready to go home since last Saturday, and last night when we returned to Orlando, I was wishing that we could drive straight to the airport to board the plane then.

But today has been good.  We had a nice day.

Breakfast at IHOP.

Vineland Premium Outlets.  Man, oh, man....a line at the Disney store!  Then a line to get into the line.  We skipped that one.  We did give some business to the Vera Bradley Outlet store though!

Disney Springs.  I wanted a small Pluto, then we added in a small stuffed crab.  We stopped at the big Disney store, just to look around, and found Minnie Mouse backpacks for $40 which was half as much as the other ones we had seen.  Two of those are going home with us - one for Tessa and one for Lynnlee.  We sat and people-watched for a while.  Interesting to watch sizes and shapes, scotters and strollers,  all stages of dress and footwear.

I love stopping at Bass Pro Shop and checking out their clothes.  Sounds strange, I know, but I have several items in my closet and dresser drawers from that place.  Before we went there, though, we checked out the cinema closeby.  I wanted to see Gentlemen and it was playing there; in fact, it was just starting.  So that was our first activity on the north end of Orlando.

After the movie it was time for Bass Pro Shop and I did find a sweater and top to wear home.  Gary found a good sale on a shirt for himself.

Dinner was at Freddie's. We had double cheeseburgers and fries (which were extremely salty).  As we were eating, Gary remarked that we had had one of the best days since the kids left.  Although we did enjoy the rest and relaxation at Zolfo Springs, we really did like buzzing around Orlando today.  It just felt comfortable here.

And tomorrow we fly home.

Lots of talk about what we might do next January. 

Find a place down the coast?

Spend a week around Tampa then travel south for a second week?

Two weeks in Orlando?

Not sure where we will be or even if we will come to Florida again.

But today?  Lots of memories again of our winter trip in January 2020.
