Debbie Birthday Weekend

My 50th birthday was last Friday. It started with a walk at Siesta Key beach with Parker and Daryl and then we went for Parlor Doughnuts (vegan!) and coffee. 




Later in the day, we drove over to Orlando and checked into a condo for two nights just off Disney property. Then we headed over to Beach Club for dinner at Cape May Cafe. We popped into Epcot for a few minutes and some pictures. 






Cape May is a buffet but they do such an amazing job on allergy food. They even brought me a special birthday dessert. 





Saturday morning, Davis and I woke up to work out in the fitness center. He put me through my paces on all the different machines. 


We had a great day hanging out in Epcot as a family. It rained a bit but we were able to stay dry in a building. 




Daryl, Wesley and Davis went home on Saturday night while Parker and I stayed in Orlando. On Sunday morning we visited the Magic Kingdom to ride Tron and also the Carousel of Progress. The Carousel of Progress is going away in its current form next month and we wanted to see it one last time.

Renewal Leave - Part Three - Sculpture Garden

I've driven past the Peace River Botanical and Sculpture Garden in Punta Gorda several times when I've been at work. Today I took myself there to play tourist. It is two miles of trails spread out on both sides of the road near the Peace River. The sculptures are beautiful and very cool and I loved the boardwalks along the mangroves.
