Back in our old stomping grounds - Orlando, Florida. We're gonna miss Oceania, we really liked it down under, but we got to see our son, Colin, and meet his new (to us) girlfriend, Kate. She's wonderful and we adore her. They're good together. We even spent a day at Leu Gardens with them.

Of course, Melissa's first stop was to get nuts in the hopes of making squirrel friends at the place we were staying. She had squirrel withdrawal from our time in Oceania.

...and Luke!

(Apologies to my friends...Chuck don't take pics, but I like hanging out with you)

And I'd be remiss if I didn't recognize some of our old Lake Eola pals (did a lot of laps around that "lake").
