Florida! Sun! Warm!

So we left Vermont just in time to miss the latest cold snap.  It was -9 when we left last week, but I hear it got down to -20.  The Floridians were freezing on the coldest night of the year (it hit mid 30's there!)  Lars was wearing his t-shirt, I went for a run! But it quickly warmed up and was 65 and brilliantly sunny both days we were there.  We went to Busch Gardens and celebrated my grandmother's 91st birthday.  We also ate lots of oranges and strawberries.  We picked oranges off my Uncle's tree and had fresh squeezed OJ every morning.  Yum. It was great to see family and meet my cousin's son (Nicholas IV)!  While we enjoyed our time there, we did not enjoy our travel time much.  The only good thing was no one told me about the USAir crash until we were safely in Florida.  We flew out of NYC Kennedy about the same time the accident occurred at LaGuardia.  Thank goodness for good pilots.  Anyway, Isaac hates being in the car and screamed the entire time we went anywhere.  I eventually just put on my iPod headphones and closed my eyes.....
