Snow Day

Last weekend it was 65 degrees in Orlando. This weekend it's 18" of snow in the Twin Cities. Oh well, at least the kids had fun!

Orlando

We were in Orlando over Valentine's Day weekend when Mike gave the keynote speech to an educator's conference there. Our hotel was right across the street from SeaWorld, so we took the opportunity to visit. It was a nice weekend away from the kids!

The pool looked appealing, but the temperature was only around 60.
