Orlando 2 Weeks

[riverdees05 Platinum Contributor Find all posts View Profile Close riverdees05]

We are going to be in Orlando the week of Thankgiving and the week after. The first week, we will have kids and grandkids with us, but the second week, it will be just my wife and myself. What are some ideas of things we should consider doing that a couple of retired folks might enjoy?

Leu Gardens is a wonderful place for a walk. Their holiday house (while you are in town) is really nice. A peaceful retreat from parks and commotion.

Thought of something else. Winter Park is a nice little town, with lots of shops and restaurants. They have a scenic boat ride too.

There are lots of little trips that take up part of a day. I remember us doing an island nature walk on a lake in or near Kissemmee(sp?) and also an old airplane exhibit. There's Busch Gardens in Tampa, Silver Springs, and plenty of other places which may be of interest.

A large (I think the largest) collection of Tiffany things is in the Morse Museum in Winter Park. They have the complete chapel Tiffany did for one of the World Fairs and the Four Seasons stained glass windows, among other things.

The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art houses the world's most comprehensive collection of the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany
