well after two wonderful weekends and wonderful hosts, it's hard to come back to a city you don't know very well yet! i spent last weekend in atlanta with ashlea and jules, and this most recent weekend with nate visiting laura and drew in nashville (pics posted). had a wonderful time at both!
i flew back to orlando this evening and realized, i'm not so crazy about it yet. i can always tell if i've grown attached to where i live by whether i'm excited to come back home or not. i'm sure there are several factors at play here, the main one being that my husband doesn't live here yet! also, cleo is at the kennel still tonight since i'm back too late to get her tonight.
so, i was a little down on my "city beautiful" this evening, and spent some time researching new places to check out. i did find several :) on my list to explore (keep me honest!):
1. brandywine books: used bookstore with over 30,000 titles - i'm excited about this one ;)
2. tim's wine market: organized by type, then by region - they not only have tastings, but also wine classes!
3. harry p. leu gardens: apparently beautiful gardens and a house that can be toured as well- $4 admission for a nice way to spend an afternoon.
4. park avenue shopping: a refreshing absence of strip mall- just neat bistros, boutiques, etc.
5. orlando science center: what it sounds like! complete with planetarium :)
so that's the start to my list. when i'm done, i'm writing a guide to orlando that's for residents, not for toursits! ;)

It won't be long now until I move to Florida. We'll have to explore Orlando to find the fun, local spots. I'm sure that we'll find some. You already have an interesting list. - nji
