My friend and housemate’s suggestion of a weekend in Orlando to escape winter was an offer too good to refuse. Never mind that DC’s winter was the mildest I could recall; it was still a chance to visit a new state and long-overdue trips to amusement parks.
We arrived Sunday morning just in time for church before heading off to Cocoa Beach. I could practically hear the “I Dream of Jeannie” theme song as I pictured crowds gathering to watch the shuttles launch from nearby Kennedy Space Center, and the NASA guys being the local celebrities. Our attempt at napping on the beach failed to take the breezes into account, and I brought a bit of the beach home in my scalp, as well as my heart. We drove back to Orlando and home of some of Aubree’s family friends; gracious hosts in a beautiful home. It was such an oasis of calm and relaxation that it would’ve been easy to spend the whole trip there, if there weren’t those amusement parks…
