Location is Orlando TT
Happy birthday to my wonderful husband, Jim hoping to make your day special today.
I started out by making him his favorite breakfast. We had pierogies and kielbasa, last night for dinner. So he loves the leftovers in the morning with eggs.
Then I went and did my walk fit. When I got back I showered and got ready, we took the truck up to the parking lot on the other side of the gate, to the Welcome Center, to meet our Uber for the day.
When the Uber guy arrived he looked like a young thug Punk kid. He was nice, but kind of quite. But he was playing music that you never would expect, I think it was the first full Beyonce song I've ever heard.
The car Jim thinks was, a Chevy Malibu. The guy said he was leasing it, only had it for 2 days, but he hated it. When you got to a red light it would shut off, then when you stepped on the gas it would restart.
We arrived at Icon Park around lunch time. First we walked around a bit. Such a beautiful day. We had planned to have lunch at Ole Red, Blake Shelton's restaurant. We decided we were ready so we headed back over there.
They have live music all day. This was the first guy playing. Joey Foley. He came over and said hi. Told him it was Jim's birthday. He said he had a song for him. Later he announced it was his birthday to everyone. That was nice.
After lunch this was Jim's birthday dessert. Mason jar cakes L to R, banana pudding, SB cheesecake. and key line pie. SOoo good.
Then we walked around a little bit, then went on the wheel as they call it.
That's the main thing that Jim wanted to do for his birthday. Here's some pictures of the view up there.
It's 400 ft tall.
We walked around a bit more.
Then when we first walked inside I remembered about Madame Tussauds Wax Museum was in there. Wanted to do it two years ago when his Mom was here for a month. But we never got to.
The aquarium is also in there which we've done before, so we were good, which was nice because they were closed for a private event. That was really good,, well worth it, So then we went into the wax museum next. Also once is enough for that place. It was good, but they weren't quite as good as I thought they were going to be. Everyone must have been done a long time ago, they looked so young compared to how they look now.
You could get right up almost against them. Although they told you not to touch.Here is a few of the funny shots we got, we got goofer the farther into the museum we went. This is only a few of them.
After that we decided to walk around some more, watching young families, play, taking pictures. Jim had a drink all along the way.
Then we decided we should have went on the Wheel for sunset. Someone told us if you went on it once already, you can go a second time for a $10 each. So Jim got us each another ticket for 10.
Both times we went he stops at the bar right before you get on, and buys a beer for the ride.
We rode the wheel again here's some pictures of the sunset. The whole ride takes about 20 minutes but feels like 5.
By this time it was about 6:00 Jim's supposed to take a pill at 6:00. We weren't real hungry, so we decided to go back to Ole Red. We were going to have the nachos earlier but it would have been too much food then. So we decided to go back and share the nachos and get him another drink. Here's a picture of our nachos.
We didn't finish them all I said let's take the naked ones home and I can doctor them up for you tomorrow and you can have them for lunch.
We got to hear another band play she was really good.. Jaclyn Hayden
Goodbye Ole Red
Then Jim called The Uber, and this time it was a really nice car Chrysler 300. Very comfortable back seat.We got back to the truck at the campground we just had to drive it back to our site. What a great birthday we spent together.
