Broke, but happy!: October 2014

The Burnette's took Universal by storm last weekend! The kids had a Friday off of school so we flew down to Orlando, did 2.5 days in the parks, and flew back on Monday morning (to school and work)! We had an amazing time and did probably 30 hours in the parks. We walked and walked, and then walked some more. All 4 of us would collapse in the bed once we got back to the room just so we could do it all over the next day. I can really say that these parks are absolutely beautiful and so well done. I took many pictures of the park, but none do justice to how they really look (especially the Harry Potter areas)

I spoke to one of my pathologists at work today and he retired recently and I told him congratulations. Someone said, yeah he retired so he could do some traveling. To that I said, well maybe one day I can look forward to that. His reply was, "Well there is some downsides to it. You get old and then retire. All I can say is stay in shape" So to me that put my mind at ease about how I look at things... I am reasonable young and can travel pretty well (physically speaking) so I my as well do my traveling now, not wait until I am too old to enjoy it! Don't get me wrong, I want to get old (eventually), but what if I don't? What if something happens before my bucket list is done? What if I get old and can't maneuver around? What if, what if, what if???? Besides, I have the perfect traveling circus to travel with right now. I have got a husband that will follow me pretty much wherever I drag him and I have got 2 wonderful children that I get to enjoy seeing them enjoy new things! Why would I wait until I am old, retired, and wrinkly? Hahaha! I want to go go go! So as long as I can pay my bills on time and put food on the table on a regular basis, I am going to spend every extra dollar and extra minute I have on planning a vacation(which I get a high off of by itself) or going on a vacation. So enjoy these quickly added pictures and remember... you only live once...Do what you want to do while you still have a chance!

Jurassic Park area from across the water.

Dr. Seuss area-and ya'll know I LOVE Dr. Seuss kids books (and have several memorized from reading to the kids so many times) This was almost as good as seeing the DeLorean from Back to the Future!!
