A couple of weeks ago, we loaded up and took the auto train from Virginia to Florida. It took off about an hour before dark, so we didn't really get to see much aside from random Christmas lights along the way. We did have our own sleeper car, which was comfortable and the kids really enjoyed.
We arrived early the next morning, and made the short drive from the train station to Dad & Pam's place in The Villages.
We spent one day around The Villages, went to the Universal park to see the Harry Potter World, which was great fun. Leah was singled out at Olivander's Wand Shop and got to participate in a little show where she was chosen by her wand.
We also took a day to run into Silver Springs and take a glass-bottom boat tour. I think the coolest part was the anhinga diving under our boat - I wasn't quick enough with the camera to get a shot of that, though.
We finished that off with a short walk around the place, including the lucky palm tree, where both kids cooperated for a photo.
It was a short stay, but we had a great time!
From The Villages, we made the drive to Miami...the next blog post...
Cheers,
Marc
