Day 2 of Our Trip

Well, we checked out and headed to Gainesville, FL. I think we forgot that they were an hour ahead of us and we cut it close getting to the banquet. Lillian was not a very good rider that day either. I think she was tired of the car seat. We were able to drive past the hospital where Lillian was born and showed it to her. We had a nice time at CFS' 30th Anniversary. We got to see some people that we dealt with during Lillian's adoption and hopefully during our second adoption. Please keep praying for us on our second adoption! Lillian prays almost nightly for a brother or a sister. Only God knows when it needs to happen. The only difference this time is that we have Lillian to keep us occupied where before we had nothing to keep our minds off of it. Here are a few pics. The first picture is of the first adoptee from CFS that happened 30 years ago. She told of her story about being adopted and how it really changed her life for the better. I didn't get a picture of a birthmother that shared her story of how she chose adoption for her little girl. It was very touching and it brought back memories of how Lillian's adoption came about and it was very similar. I hope that one day Lillian will be able to see how she has changed lives forever and that she would someday share her story with others.

Lillian is all smiles eating one of her favorites, watermelon!!!

Our picture with Mr. Jerry who is the director of CFS and mainly who we dealt with on Lillian's adoption. Jerry holds a special place in our hearts and in our family.

After we visited some more we left for Orlando that night. Lillian fell asleep on the way finally after getting her chocolate milk that she was having a fit to drink. Sorry, I didn't get a picture of this hotel either. I guess I was so tired from the drive that I didn't think about it. It was really nice. I thought that every hotel had free internet. Wrong again!!! We had to pay $9.95 each night that we wanted it. As much as we paid for the room you would have thought that the internet would have been free. I guess being able to walk to Sea World was the hotel's special instead of free internet.
