Gatorland

Lance and I are currently in Orlando, FL for Matco's yearly Expo. We look forward to this trip every year since it is the only vacation we ever take. We will be busy (understand that I use the term "we" loosely - you'll see why soon!) for the next couple of days with the Expo and work stuff, but then we'll have free time to visit Disney World!

Today, we got up and went to the first training of the day. I skipped out a little early and met our friends, Mike and Lindsey, to go to Gatorland. Lance was a good business owner and went to trainings while we played all morning. Mike and Lindsey have been here before and highly recommended this attraction. Lindsey has even been watching the Gator Cam on the internet to see what all we needed to experience while at Gatorland. We met Mike and Lindsey's friends, Gary and Jennifer, and their three little girls there this morning and played all afternoon. I have to tell you, we had a great time. I've never seen so many reptiles in one place before in my life. We had our picture take sitting on an aligator (yes, a REAL one!), Lindsey and I held a small aligator and a snake, we fed the gators and some other interesting livestock and were overall entertained all morning.

After Gatorland, I came back to the resort and met Lance for one more training. Now we're resting in our room about to go downstairs for the National Business Meeting. As soon as I learn how to post pictures I'll share our Gatorland experience.
