Hi all!
I thought that I would share with all that Quinn & I are visiting my brother in Orlando this week. I drove Quinn & I all the way from NC yesterday. We left around 9am & got here around 11pm. Would have been here sooner, but we ran into some rain & stopped to do a little shopping at an outlet.
Quinn's out of school on fall break...correction: 'fall intersession' (as the school system calls it). Personally I would prefer that they not take this break & instead get out of school a week earlier or have a couple extra days at Thanksgiving.
Not only are we visiting my brother, sis-in-law (whom is due with their 1st baby on Dec. 4th...a girl) & step-niece, but also I'm checking out the area a little better. I'm thinking about Quinn & I moving down here next summer. My brother is opening another branch of his company. He's offered me a job. It would be a great opputunity to work for him. Quinn's not too thrilled about leaving his friends in NC but the job market in there is horrible. I'm sure everyone's heard the old saying "You do what you have to do".
Anyway...a lot for me to think about.
Quinn & I just got finished swimming. (My brother has a heated pool at his house. Lucky dog!) Quinn's in the shower. I'm waiting for my turn. Them we are going to go drive around & look at a few neighborhoods where there are some houses that I've seen at an on-line real estate site for this area (Casselberry) the schools in this county are suppose to be some of the best in the state.
Tonight he & my brother are going to an Orlando Magic game. Tomorrow I'm taking him to the Vans skatepark to skateboard. Friday, we are hoping to go to the rivers to hopefully see manatees in the wild!!! We are so excited about that! Wouldn't that be so cool?!
I hope everyone has a groovy day!

I have been wondering where in the world you have been!

Hello there Cindy,
Enjoy that time with your bro. :) Check in and tell us what your up to.
Yesterday we went to a couple of neighborhoods. Both seemed really nice, but one stood out a little more. There is a lake near it with a walking trail around it, plus a golf course. (I like to play golf every once in awhile) The only thing is the office is a 30 drive because of the traffic. (The office will be downtown Orlando) So...
We went to a park & Quinn played around on his skateboard. I read.
We stopped & got Quinn a new bathing suit since the one he has is really too small.
Last night, my brother took Quinn to the Magic game. He had a great time! He was even talking about it this morning at breakfast. It was an exciting game. They won by 1 point with less than a second to go.
My sis-in-law, step niece & I went to supper at Carabas Grill. But came on back to the house after supper. She is very preg. & gets really tired. Too tired to do much of anything else.
Today we are going to stick around here mostly. I'm catching up the laundry for them & cleaning up a little bit. After lunch, Quinn's going to mow the yard. There are a few bushes that need trimming & etc. (My brother hates to do yard work) so I'm going to tackle that. Then I'm going to go to the grocery store & pick up something to cook for supper.
