Happy Valentines 2011 – Ready for the “EVENT”

(Wauchula, FL) Hi 75 Lo 46 --  Happy Valentines Day to everyone!  Love is in the air!

Normal morning, except for a phone call telling us our special event should happen tomorrow.  I really don’t want to give it away till tomorrow night's blog.  Just in case something happens at the last minute.   Don’t you love suspense?

We packed for overnight and headed to Kissimmee around 2:00. It’s about one and a half hours to get there with the longest part of the trip is through downtown Winter Haven.  On the way we keep passing a citrus processing plant in Bartow and I keep wanting to stop and get pictures.  We drove into their lot to get some pictures and a guy waved us back out.  Busted!  :)

Those are oranges piles on different levels inside the plant building.

Trucks in the background tipping up to unload oranges (or tangerines or grapefruits).

Trailer loads of fruit waiting to be off-loaded.

Truck full of oranges going to the plant.  We see these all over the place in this area.

We got to our motel, which is really nice.  We’re right outside of Disney World so we’re back into civilization. Here’s our view out our room window.

The motel is right on a lake.

We decided to walk to dinner... we ate here and got crabs.  :)  (Old joke, I know...)

A couple of tacky looking gift shops we passed on our walk.

Tomorrow we have to be in the lobby at 6am. Needless to say we’ll be going to bed earlier tonight. I probably won't sleep much.

Be prepared for a long blog tomorrow night.  All my facebook friends, I’ll try to do some live posts as things happen.

You've succeeded in building up the suspense. Guess a 6am wake-up call means no Craig Ferguson live tonight huh?
