Field Trip: Florida and the Caribbean

It was hard to leave my real camera behind.
We just took along the little, water-proof camera,
which was probably the wise thing to do,
but next time... the camera's coming with me!

First stop: Orlando, Florida
(No, believe it or not, we didn't go to
that one amusement park.)

It never got warmer than 35 degrees the entire time we were in Orlando.
But the palm trees and hot tub made up for it:

(Weird because how can you eat a nice steak
dinner in a smelly arena?
And weird because we had just finished reading
Black Beauty as a family.
Poor, poor horsies.)
