"May" Our Orlando Adventure


Hi!

Today is Sunday July 27th. 4 Sleeps until Jordan's Birthday. I am so excited! and he will get his own post, that will arrive August 1st, so stay tuned for that! :)

WOW! Okay where to begin. Well, if you have been in the loop for awhile, you know, that Hubs and I packed up our beautiful Huntington Beach, California life and headed east for Orlando Florida on/around April 21st. We drove down, to live there for a few months and work our door to door sales gig.
Highlight of the drive is that we drove through, 9 States! California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Mississippi ( where we stayed a couple days, cuz Jordan's car had issues), Alabama and then finally Florida.
Additionally, We put our feet in the Gulf of Mexico and I drove 24 hours straight through the night, for my first time ever! It was crazy...but luckily Jordan and I chatted on the phone, most of the time, simply because We Were In Two Different Cars! haha
Look at Jo Jo! He is the cutest, smartest, sweetest puppy ever and did AMAZING the entire trip. Which we were hoping would only be a 2 day trip and due to car issues, turned into a 6 day trip.








When we finally arrived in Orlando, all in one piece, we were only there a month, before we again had to pack up our things and mosey on out of Orlando, to Houston, Texas, where the the territory for sales was better, as well as pay. ...We were promised lots in Orlando that didn't come through and so we had to do what was best for us and our team.
So we packed up our things and moved to Texas!

We did however, enjoy Orlando for the short time we were there.
Man on Man, that place is Gorgeous!
Every day I felt like I was waking up and walking outside into my very own live zoo!
We had turtles and ducks in our backyard pond.
Squirrels Galore! So many different species of birds! More than I could have possibly imagined prior to living there. Lizards and Snakes galore! It was amazing!
Orlando Is A Super Cool Place! I highly recommend to visit!

There was even a neighborhood where the people supported the Peacock wildlife and a clan of over 25 peacocks co-habited with mutual respect of the home owners in one little block of land. When driving through and interacting with some of the residence, it Blew My Mind. That 25+ peacocks lived in there neighborhood, perched on their roofs, chilled under their trees and they were all okay with it. In fact, they quite 'fancied' it!


Even though we were in Orlando only one short month and despite all the working we were doing, we managed to play a bit too! It's in our nature! ;)

Orlando Universal Studios was soooo fun!! One of teammates was able to get a "hook up" from one of her clients, who got a few of us discount tickets and he also was our personal guide, taking us from ride to ride, between the two universal parks! IT WAS A BLAST!



And When In FLORIDA You Gotta See Alligators Right?! YES!

So Hubs and I visited Gatorland. I was asked to go on stage a hold a Boa which was awesome. I don't have a photo though :( We fed the birds and saw some really awesome Albino and not albino Alligators :) 



The very day, after Gatorland, we packed up our things and our team and headed to Houston, Texas!

This post is kinda long :) If you wanna read about June & July's adventures
