A Great Day!

Yesterday (Monday), we went to the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. It was an absolutely wonderful afternoon and evening. Due to the weather (threatening rain and t-storms), we questioned if we really wanted to go, but figured we'd have a nice ride if nothing else. After a very brief rain shower on the way over, the weather was wonderful - lovely breeze and cool temps (in the 70's). We arrived about 5:00. The crowds were non-existent. It was wonderful! We walked around and took lots of pictures (roughly 300 which we'll be uploading to Shutterfly later). The flowers were absolutely beautiful! We stopped at Norway and had dessert (we hadn't had dinner yet!) - Dan had strawberry cheesecake which was more like a strawberry mousse and I had chocolate cake which was was chocolate cake on the bottom, chocolate mousse in the middle and topped with a chocolate ganache. Both were delicious! We then continued around to The American Gardens Theater and got there just in time for the 7:00 concert by Davy Jones of The Monkees group. He's still good! We continued on around World Showcase and continued taking pictures. I am so glad we've gone to digital. Not having to worry about film is wonderful. The downside is I'm not worried about running out of film so I'm tending to take more pictures! We left EPCOT about 8:30 and headed for Giordano's for pizza. We love their stuffed pizza! After eating, we headed home, arriving about 11:00. It was a good day and I'm so glad we didn't let the weather stop us. We had no rain at Disney and very little rain here, but we saw lots of puddles on the way home. It was a great day!
