We started our trip in a very dirty and disgusting hotel. After about an hour complaining about the room and not finding it worth sitting through a two hour presentation about purchasing a timeshare, we checked out and headed to Gainesville. We couldn't go to Florida and not visit Natalie, Philip & Max (Natalie is my sister). And feeling like young teenagers without a care in the world (we didn't have the kids with us) we drove until 2 in the morning, checked into a nice hotel and slept the morning away.
The Scherer House
Just like Utah, there is a church on every corner... but unlike in Utah, not all are LDS!
It's so humid moss grows all over the tress
Max & Uncle JonWe stopped at the Kennedy Space Center on our way back to Miami.
The building where the keep the shuttle - it's HUGE!
A quote I found on a website "Although Canada has been involved with the space race since the beginning, nothing has made our national pride glow like watching the space shuttles and seeing the big letters CANADA written across the Canadarm." Jon had to have his picture taken with the Canadarm and while I was taking the picture I thought...
...oh ya, United States is on the outside of the whole space shuttle.
We had a wonderful time visiting with the Scherer's. Natalie gave us a tour around Gainesville. We saw UF and the many hospitals surrounding it, the fraturnit and sorority houses. We ate dinner on a plantation that had been converted in to a housing development and shopping. It's a fun little college town with more doctors than you would know what to do with (and perhaps a bit too much Gator pride!).
The space center was amazing, I am excited to take Marcus there in February when we go out for a visit.
