The Annual Florida Trip

11/6/2012

If you didn’t already know, I went to college at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando, FL.  I had an amazing time in those four years and met some of the best friends I have ever had and will ever have in my life.  This is why I do not see it as a chore to plan a yearly trip to the land of Mickey Mouse to visit said friends and enjoy the lovely, sunny weather.  I said it several times while I was there, and I’ll say it again….When I fly into Orlando International Airport, depart the plane, and step into that humid Florida air, it feels like going home.  It’s the truth.  When I go to Orlando, it is nothing like a  vacation.  I just slip right back into residency.  Either DM or Becky pick me up from the airport, I stay in one of their spare bedrooms, and we just hang out like old times.  Drinking freshly ground coffee and laying out by the pool with Becky, Jack and Izzy, visiting Mike’s palm tree nursery, running errands with DM, drinking beers with the old crew at some local handout, or my favorite, eating Publix subs! (Anyone from Florida will understand my obsession)

Of course, ever since my parents bought a little shack off the canal in Weeki Wachee, home of the mermaid show, I try to take a trip out there to do some kayaking down the crystal clear Weeki Watchee river.  It’s a two hour drive from Orlando, so I don’t always get the chance, but this year I was lucky enough to be able to enjoy a serene few days there on the Gulf coast. 

Here are some of my favorite pics!
