Orlando Photo Diary Part 1




Top to bottom - Florida is pretty road sign heavy, I'm sure the whole country is. Safety first / This sign at Chilis just tops it off, "...all others will be crushed and melted". Pretty extreme, the food was just alright but the beer was great / Stuck indoors quite a bit due to the weather so we whipped Manopoly out / HUGE Boat Sale at Dick's Sporting Goods / Old Mountain Dew packaging spotted at Target / Matching outfit to pavement is the done thing / Amazing sunset at Posner Park / Butterfly display in Neiman Marcus / One of my favourite places, Celebration / Comfy footwear / Always on the look out for fire hydrants / Bikes are mega popular, especially cruisers

I flew back from Orlando last Wednesday, it was tougher than ever saying goodbye to the place this time as Hollie stayed on for another two weeks with her parents. For the two weeks I was there though I had an such a great time, so much fun. If you've been following me on Twitter you might know that we drove up to Savannah, Georgia but I'll leave that to another post (never been somewhere so jam packed with amazing houses).

I've been looking forward to sharing some of my photos with you guys! I did take about 300 photos in total so it's been a task editing them down to a sensible amount. Part 1 of my Orlando trip takes us up to the day before we left for Savannah, the weather wasn't great so we mostly filled our time with shopping in the malls (I bought a ton of stuff which I will also share soon), eating daft amounts of steak and giving my drinking arm a good exercise.

HUGE BOAT SALE, only in America hey.....and the same goes for your car being melted! Plenty more where this came from, Savannah and Orlando Part 2 later next week.

  4. Can't wait to see the rest of your snaps Buckets! I went to Orlando when I was 9 and did the classic Disney tour, but didn't get much chance to get off the beaten track. <3 Claire @ Jazzpad

  7. SMILING!!!! I love these shots, especially the ones of your stripes and camo's - great colors!

    Chili's is a sub-par chain but it will definitely do when you want a cold beer on a hot day. I can't wait to see more!

  11. I know what you mean when you say that love for signs etc.
    These are really cool man. Got some really good ones. I hate to break it to ya but no we won't crush your car and melt them. haha. That sign is just for fun. In case you didn't know. But you probably did. Although, they will tow your car without a doubt. Anyways.
    How did you like chilly's by the way? I'm a fan of the place. They seem to have those chalk like drawings in all the restaurants. I think they're pretty cool.
