Our Dear Baby Tigger: Florida

After cruise we have 1 week in Florida and we stayed in pedy's place. Mom and dad wanted to stay longer with us initially but then dad needs to go back to Hong Kong for some important meeting and the plan had to change. They stayed with us for 2 nights and the 3rd day we took them to the airport and sent them home.

We arrived at the port of Tampa. At the terminal, we waited for a long time for the rental car. Very frustrating. Eventually we had the cat after about 2 hours. Then we got lunch and then visited the Florida aquarium which is righthe next to the terminal. There were lemurs and a lot of sting rays. It was a short visit but was quite fun. At night we cooked with pedy at home. It was great. Everyone was happy to eat at home after the long cruise.

Rian wanted to keep the activities light, so we did 1 day on 1 day off. After mom and dad left we first went to Disney world magic kingdom. Ellie just watched little mermaid on the ship so she enjoyed the ride very much. She actually enjoyed everything very much and asked me if there is a Disney world back in Washington. Nope, too bad. We can go to the LA one pretty easily though. We did quite a lot of attractions given that we were there quite late. My favorite is always the fireworks. Love it!!!

The next one was Kennedy space center. I have been there before but I don't remember anything. I enjoyed the presentation of the Atlantis and also the land on moon. The combination of movies/exhibits give a nice experience. I was also excited to hear about going to Mars.

The last outing was to the beach next to fred's shop. We were there very late in the afternoon and we only have time for a few pictures and short walk. It was very pretty. White sand, sea shells, though a bit cold. After that we went to fred's shop for a while. He was closing the store. We helped a bit and tried the Gelato.

Pedy was doing a lot of marketing for the shop. And need to prepare sample boxes and also decoration for valentine's day. We all helps and it was so much fun to do something together. Pedy and Fred were great host. They also made us hot pot and raclette dinners. Yum!
