A visit to my favorite coffee shop to drop off the presents we bought for some teenagers in Apopka.
Did my heart good to see so many donations from around the community.

Today is a momentous occasion. About to submit our homeschool year 1 portfolio for evaluation.
Truly feels special, a day I’ve been anticipating since this same time last year when we knew regular school wasn’t going to work.
And it’s our first day back as OSC Members

St. Augustine evening trip. Driving 90 minutes for Nights of Lights was overkill.
Still, we had fun on a Barbie-themed kart tour of decorations & city landmarks, with a very fun “Just Ken” tour guide.

Also I’m really bummed about not having the village pathway anymore - it was magical to have a dedicated Christmas walkway with all the food & drink booths and the firepit.
But glad they relocated the train sets.

It’s been a weird couple of days. Now it’s time to focus and work.
But first some pictures of our time at SeaWorld yesterday for their hosted media day.
I do love their Christmas Celebration. Let’s start with their Christmas trees that share decorations & facts about each decade from 1920 onward.

Having 2 Disney media events within 2 days of each other, both that go until midnight - plus needing to get to Disney Springs for holiday content, I decided to invite my parents on a festive staycation.
We booked this townhome in Reunion and split the cost.
Worked out to $1,100 for 4 nights
