LYNDA'S ADVENTURES

 

One morning we went to the Orlando Eye.

A very large Ferris wheel.

We got our tickets and were ready to get in line when a loud siren blared. At first nothing was done then they told us we had to all leave the building, it was a fire drill.  We waited outside for a little while and then we were allowed back in. When we went to get on the Eye they told us they had to test run it and we would have to wait until after twelve. So we went and had lunch.

The cars on the Eye are glass enclosed.  You stand and can look all around. It goes very slowly and you only go around once.

Great views. and there is a map to help you know what you are seeing.

Lynda's next adventure was to the Silver Spurs Rodeo. She had never been to one before.

 In Clermont there is the Little White House. I had never gone so we decided to explore it.

 I gave a news conference as the first woman President.

 Lynda at the Presidential desk.

 Of course Larry had to make a call.

 This room had a very interesting video about the White House and the presidents. Larry spent an hour watching it.

 I have been to Washington DC and to the White House but this model helps you realize how big the house is

and you get to see inside all the rooms. Our tickets allowed us to go back all year, so on Saturday they had an enactment. Lynda and I went again.

  We were greeted by Lincoln and Grant.

 Lynda met Theodore Roosevelt inside.

 Lee was also here and a gentleman that had to leave Gettysburg after the war. (we are in the south)

 Now off to Gatorland.

  We saw a man wrestle an alligator at one of the shows.

At this show they feed the alligators chicken showing us how high they can jump out of the water. They weren't too energetic yet.

 Lynda ready to go on the swamp walk.

 From this show  the train went by ( should have ridden it but we didn't) and the zip line in the distance.

 Saw a lot of birds.

 and alligators.

 For Lynda's finally adventure, before she flew home on Monday was to go to the play Assisted Living.

 The songs were really funny and well song.

They were definitely for our age group.
