Jaws! In Florida's Universal Studios

My work was awesome and sent Kyle and I to Orlando, Florida for the NAR (National Association of Realtors). They "hired" him for the week and paid everything for us to fly out there and work a couple days at the convention. Although the days were long and very tough on our feet, we had a lot of fun. I loved that I was able to spend all day with Kyle and share my work with him. I do have to admit that I still felt too little to be out there on my lonesome with just Kyle and I in the working world. It was a really good experience for us. If anything, its better to work in Florida for a week than at home in an office, right?
The people at NAR were nice enough to rent out Universal Studios for only participants and realtors/brokers. They also gave everybody $10 in Universal Bucks so that we could get our own souvenirs of our choice. Ok so most of the people thought that beer at a theme park was pretty cool but that's not how we roll so we got a sweet Spiderman mug and magnet. It is our new tradition to buy them for every place we visit together. It is a pretty fun tradition. If you ever want Kyle's famous hot chocolate at our house we got you covered. I admit that Jaws scared me that time; I'm a baby I know.

So did this lady. But when you have a 12 ft tall person a couple inches from you face when you turn around I think you would be scared too.
We couldn't fly out to Florida and not have a little non-work related fun so we stayed an extra day and because Disney World is so dang expensive we found Gatorworld. It was a pretty cool place to see. I was picked out of the crowd and had to hold this gynormous snake. I would show you the pictures but Kyle forgot to take them and filmed it all instead. It will be a good video to watch. I was tough, you would be proud.
We thought this Alligator's leg was going to fall off so we seriously took like 5 pictures.

We wanted to go to the Orlando Temple but we thought of it a little too late. I didn't know that we needed to keep our Recommends with us at all times so I guess that is a good thing to know now.
It was such a pretty temple. I wanted to go inside so bad.
There were super cool buildings down one of Orlando's main streets. 2 of them were upside down museums. I think that this one is called something like Wonder Worlds?
We couldn't come all the way to Orlando and not go to Disney World so now I have been there...sorta. I know it doesn't really count in my book either but we went to Down Town Disney and admired all the Lego statues. If that was as close as I can get I will take it. It was an attempt to jump start Kyle's memory. You would think that a trip like Disney World would be unforgettable but somethings...ok most things...just slip his mind. It was good to walk around and let the memories come back to him.
