Trip to Florida - Part II

Epcot was more of the same: taking Lucy on rides, switching off for the big thrills, and eating good food. I hadn't been on Mission Space (a NASA ride) or Soarin' (an IMAX hang gliding extravaganza). Soarin' was amazing-- I felt like I was flying.

Lucy was very afraid of the Figment ride. Her favorite? Living With the Land, an educational trip through agricultural practices in America. I think it was the animatronic prairie dogs and buffalo that won her over. She yelled at some hydroponic sweet potatoes they were growing, and I assured her we still did not believe in genetic modification :)

We dined in Morocco and Japan for lunch and dinner, and we weathered an afternoon rainstorm. Even though he got sick on the NASA ride, Alan enjoyed Test Track and Spaceship Earth. Lucy got to meet Minnie, I got to peruse the shops in the World Showcase, and we thankfully skipped the movies about Canada and Norway (sorry guys).

Leaving the next morning was a bit of a letdown-- as a kid we would stay in Disney World for so long I'd feel glutted on the place by the time we left. Still, we were anxious to get to Ave Maria, to see the gulf coast, and see if Florida was a place worth living in.
