Temps were reaching the upper 80′s today – and it was a great break from the cooler weather we are so used to.  We slept in this morning due to our hard traveling yesterday.  But about mid-morning found us at the poolside and enjoying the slightly overcast, but very warm day.  We even got a little sun on our arms and backs!  After eating lunch we decided to just rest a bit; the girls and Angie went back to the pool, the boys and I stayed at the room and watched the Nascar race.  Later in the afternoon I met up with a friend from college, Steve, who now works for People magazine.  After dinner we headed to Cocoa Beach for a dip in the ocean and a visit to Ron Jon Surf Shop.  We got home late again, got cleaned up and are heading to bed.  Tomorrow (Monday) we’re planning a visit to Wonderworks here in Orlando.  Tuesday looks like the day we’ll head to Disney.  We are having a wonderful time!  Update on the van: something is squeaking / squawking when I first start it up.  I used some belt conditioner on the serpentine belt hoping that would help, but it still complains.  It sounds as if a pulley may seize at any moment, but after a bit it quiets down and drives fine.  Pray that it continues to hold up for us.  Of course, if something were to happen, it wouldn’t be without precedent!
