Vacation

We are on our summer vacation, driving to Atlanta, Ga.

Our first stop was at Cocoa Beach. We stayed two nights and visited the Kennedy Space Center. We took the bus tour and saw one the IMAX movies about the International Space Station, very interesting. Carlos and Titi loved the pool at the hotel. It had a children's play area and they spent a lot of time there. We saw dolphins in the ocean, very neat. We also visited the pier, where some people were fishing. A nice couple let the kids touch the fish and helped them put the smaller fish back in the water. Carlos loved it.



Our next stop was Daytona Beach. We only stayed there for some hours. We didn't go to the beach because it was very hot outside. We did go to the beach later in the day, in St. Augustine, my favorite city in Florida, and we spent the night there.



The next day we drove to Savannah, Ga. I loved the city, specially the historic district! It is beautiful, I love the houses and the streets, full of trees and plants. We took a tour and drove to the beach area. That night we had a complimentary dinner at a great restaurant. Annie's family is from Savannah and one of her relatives invited us to his restaurant. The kids behaved well. The food was great. We stayed right by the riverfront and we loved it. I want to go back around Christmas time, I am sure the city looks great then. I can't wait to see once again the movie "Midnight in the garden of good and evil". It was filmed there. They also told us of another movie filmed in Savannah,


After a couple of days, we went to Atlanta. Carlos has wanted to go to Six Flags since he loves rollercoasters and he got his wish. It was fun but he didn't like the rollercoasters that much. He went on Free Fall and and then decided he liked the kids section better. The also loved the water area. We went to Stone Mountain, great view from there.

On the way back we stayed in Orlando. We didn't go to the parks but Don took Carlos to Disney Quest and I
