Another Rainy Day in Orlando

But this photo was taken at a rest stop on our Saturday drive.
Last night's pizza treat attacked me in the middle of the night so I had a pretty sleepless night. Ouch! Since it was storming in the morning, Mel let me sleep in and I would have enjoyed that, if I had felt better.
Once I recuperated, we headed off to AMC 20 for several movies. First, we saw "Walk the Line" with Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. Their singing amazed me. Johnny Cash had a rough life, some of which was the result of bad choices. He was lucky June stuck with him. The parallels between Johnny's and Joaquin's losses of their brothers really resonated with me.
Then we saw "Yours, Mine and Ours" with Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo-lots of eye candy for Mel and me. Of the three movies, this was Mel's favorite. He thought it was cute.
After to movies, we left the theater in search of food. The cold front had come in, which moderated the humidity and left behind a beautiful sunny 70 evening. We found a place for sandwiches as I wasn't ready for a full meal. Then, we window-shopped through Downtown Disney. I found some Christmas toy ideas for the grandkids and bought a new charm for my Zoppini bracelet-a double charm with Mickey and Minnie. I couldn't resist it. After shopping, we sat in the plaza and listened to Christmas tunes in the Big Band-style. The music was provided by a high school band. I couldn't believe how good they were.
We headed back to the theater for "Shopgirl" with Steve Martin and Claire Danes-interesting and dramatic-not your typical Steve Martin comedy.
Tomorrow, we are having breakfast at the campground's Trails End Restaurant. They have a terrific buffet and is one of the cheaper Disney choices. We will power up for our day at MGM Studios, one of our favorites with shows, rides and a great parade.
