maybe?....


....we should ask for help,
Bubba.

It was a beautiful day
yesterday,
in beautiful Orlando, Florida.
We went to Sea World with David & Erika,
Lucy, Harry, and Gus.

I got to see the whales and the dolphins,
the polar bears, the Beluga whales,
and a huge walrus.
We touched the sting rays
and watched beautiful birds fly through the air.
My favorite was seeing the penguins up close and personal.

As with any day at a theme park,
there is a lot of walking.
It was really hot.
In the middle of the day 
we took the boys back to the hotel for naps.

After the park closed,
after the last piece of pizza was eaten,
after we were overly exhausted,
I asked for one more thing....
"Bubba, 
will you take me over to 
Downtown Disney 
to buy a gift for Gus' upcoming birthday?"

He said yes.
We had a great time looking around the shops,
and then,
it was time to go home.
We were both, need I say more,
done for the day.

Walking happily out to the car,
chatting about our fun time,
but ready to get back to the hotel and in the bed,
it dawned on us that the car was missing....
we couldn't find it anywhere.
The parking lot was a zoo with people flooding in from all directions.
Cars were parked helter-skelter everywhere imaginable.

After walking around the lot for about forty five minutes
on legs that had walked at least 
25 miles that day already,
I finally said, 
"Bubba, maybe we should ask for help."

Swiftly from there,
We were rescued by a darling girl in a limo golf cart.
From that vantage point,
I quickly spotted the Tybee sticker on the back windshield of our van.
(I knew that thing would come in handy for something)
and we were on our way.

Today,
both of our bodies are numb from the waist down.
