  Our vacation really began when Dave and Shirley showed up to see about taking care of Maynard, our beloved cat friend, while we were away.       Maynard missed us. (12/21/02-1/05/03)

 
                    that's one nice picture    

It was a beautiful sunrise on the beach

 
         

We spent nearly 23 hours in the car driving 1300 miles from KC.  We were tired!

we stayed at the Sea Crest motel in Indiatlantic, FL

 
 
   

 The next morning, two days before Christmas we were up early on our way to the Magic Kingdom at DisneyWorld just 1.5 hours away. Early! that's the secret... We were at the gate by 8 AM  and had no lines, no waiting for Jungle Cruise, Haunted House, Pirates of the Carribean and some of the other favorites.. 

 
  

We rode thru tomorrow world, helped Buzz fend off the evil emperor, Zerg, and were attacked by aliens.

 
  

 It was a wonderful day...      Some of us rode the roller coaster at Thunder Mountain.

Then came the Christmas parade at 2pm  it was starting to get crowded. Big floats and lots of people,      

   They could use some viewing stands or bleachers for people at a place that has so many parades.

 
 

 We enjoyed the wildlife almost as much as the parade. It was almost wall to wall people by late afternoon as we waited for a train ride.

 
 
   

The next day we were back on the beach

 
 
 

The water was cool 62 F.  and the waves were wild

 
 

The sea gulls were hungry and liked bread.     Feed one and a whole flock appears.

 

On Christmas morning we enjoyed fishing on the pier 20 miles north at Coco Beach.  

We caught a nice whiting.  for more info try: http://www.cocoabeachpier.com

 I hear this is an excellent place to watch a shuttle launch.

Tomorrow we visit the Space Center.  Take a look at...
