Julie's Journal

David & Andrew had a teacher's workday yesterday so Carol & I and the boys went to Cypress Gardens for the day, packing a picnic lunch. We arrived shortly after they opened at 10 a.m. and stayed until after 4 p.m. The park has been completely redone and it is awesome. Beautiful flowers, sculptured shrubs, shows including ski show, animal area (like the zoo) including a panther, butterfly house, bird sanctuary, rides including a giant ferris wheel and several roller coasters, a toddler ride area, train to transport you from one side to another, game arcade, water park including lots of slides and a wave pool, lots of places to sip and sup. It was a beautiful day. The boys tried every slide, but Carol & I were not as brave as they were so we just did a few, but that was fun. We took bathing suits and changed there.

I highly recommend Cypress Gardens to anybody who visits our condo. It's only about 30 to 45 minutes away.
I'll try to post a photo on another entry as I already tried it and failed and lost my entry.

Love,
Mom
