There’s nothing quite like taking a long road trip with your family in the Summertime. We left Orlando at about 10 pm. A quick stop at my sister’s house to drop off the dog and we were bound for our nation’s capital. I hadn’t been there since I was a kid so it’s great to have the chance to create some new memories with my own boys. We saw the White House, Lincoln memorial, countless museums, and the Capitol building just to name a few. For some reason, the Lincoln Memorial made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Our next stop was New York City. There we saw the Statue of Liberty, Time Square, and The new Freedom Tower, and no trip to New York is complete without a visit to Coney Island. We had an amazing time and created memories that will last a lifetime. But I can’t help to use what’s probably the oldest quote in the book of quotes. “It’s a nice place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there”.
Between the dirty streets, overcrowded sidewalks, and smelly subways, I have never been more ready to come home from any visit anywhere. There’s nothing like a vacation in a big city to make you appreciate living in a beautiful place like Orlando.
What really sets us apart are the great communities that we have here. We really do have it all… perfectly manicured parks for the kids, beautiful lakes, wildlife, etc. Also, in addition to being surrounded by endless natural beauty just minutes away, we have access to the best amusement parks in the world. What more could you ask for?
