Our Honeymoon, Day 13... SEA WORLD!!!! :)

Sea World was the absolute best of ALL OF THEM!!!! It was an awesome finale for our honeymoon. We went to all the morning shows then left and ate lunch at Magginos, Little Italy. It was really good food. We were going to go back to watch the fireworks at midnight but all these tourists are getting on our nerves. The good news is that Sea World park is right outside our window, so we get to watch the fireworks without fighting the crowd. My favorite show was Believe featuring Shamu. It was unbelievable and very touching.

Our Honeymoon, Day 12... Animal Kingdom

Our LAST day at Disneyworld was spent at Animal Kingdom. They had some cool shows as well. We went to a Bug's Life and the musical Lion King. They were both awesome. We ate at Olive Garden for lunch and called it an early day. We may go back to watch Tinker Bell fly from the Castle later this evening but for now we are sick of fighting our way through people and too we want an early start tomorrow for Sea World. :) :) :) The weather here was perfect today! IT IS 70 degrees!!! No coats or SCARVES needed. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as nice.

Our Honeymoon, Day 11... MGM Hollywood Studios

It was another day of SHOVING through THRONGS of people and driving alongside millions of pooky tourists. If you want to go anywhere here in Orlando or in Disneyworld add an hour to your travel time. Seriously it is ridiculous. The shows we went to see today generally sat about, if not over, 2,000 in each theater. The best three shows today by far were the musical Beauty and the Beast, Indiana Jones, and the musical/watershow Fantasmic. They were all awesome! MGM has been by far my favorite. We wanted to ride the tower of terror but the line was 2 hours long with no fast passes!?!?! We might go back tomorrow and try to ride it and see one more show after we go to Animal Kingdom. We came home and ate gourmet Campbell's soup. There is only a microwave in our kitchen (unacceptable) and we weren't hungry enough to go out to eat after eating pretzels, hot dogs, and carmel corn at MGM.

Our Honeymoon, Day 10... EPCOT


Today was day #2 at Disney World. We went to EPCOT this morning and afternoon. It is really neat with a bunch of 3-D shows, buildings representing different countries and boosting yummy smelling foods, and science exhibits. We ended up going back to Magic Kingdom in the evening and watched the lighting of the castle again and rode a few more of the rides. We called it an early evening because our feet HURT and it was freezing COLD AGAIN!! This afternoon it was in the 60's but it dropped down to 40's with a chilling wind. I guess it is better than the 30's in Tulsa :) Tomorrow is MGM HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS.






This last picture is in honor of my dad and Bro. Cheek. :)

Our Honeymoon, Day 9...Magic Kingdom

Wow...another day has come and gone. Today was our first day at Disney World. We walked around Magic Kingdom for several hours; rode some rides; saw a few shows; watched a parade; ate greasy food; and finally, enjoyed the Disney Christmas Musical. It was a lot of fun AND WALKING crammed into one day! We're looking forward to hitting it again at the Epcot Center tomorrow.

P.S. Just want everyone to know how much I love my new life. My new wife, Mrs. Chantelle Rodgers, is my every dream come true. It's amazing how God puts the perfect person in your life at the perfect time. I look forward to many blissful years of marriage with my wonderful bride. I love you Chan! ;)

Our Honeymoon, Day 8... ORLANDO, FLORIDA

We drove to ORLANDO today. It took almost 7 hours by the time we got through Orlando traffic. Good grief it was ridiculous! When we finally got here, Austin ran into the hotel to check us in to our room and ended up getting us upgraded to an executive suite because the lady found out it was our honeymoon! OH HALLELUJAH!!! Wow we are high flying it!!! Like we really need 16 seats?!?!?! And a King Size bed that falls out of the wall?!?!? But hey it is SWEET!!! We decided at the last minute to go to Medieval Times. The food was awesome and the entertainment was just as good. It was a perfect beginning of our stay in Orlando. Disneyworld tomorrow! :)
