Lion Country Safari was our first stop on our family road trip and, let’s just say, we can’t cross "go on a safari" off the bucket list. On a scale of 1 – 10 (10 being met/exceeds expectations), we would give it a 4. While there, we took a ride on the carousel, the kids rode the train, we had some ice cream, sweated our patookies off, rode around and saw some sleeping lions and then we got the ‘you-know-what’ out of there.
{EDIT:Mason} Bless her heart and her enthusiasm to suggest a side trip to LCS. Little did I know what I was getting into when we started driving through this place. In case you’re unfamiliar you drive your car through the "preserve" and are extremely close to the animals…when they’re not hiding in the shade or flat out sleep’n. In any case, there are 82 signs that say DRIVE SLOWLY..or something along those lines. Denie McQueen was behind the wheel and mid-way through this adventure I imagined a headline the next day saying "Florida Mom in Minivan mowes down Wildebeast in Wildlife Preserve".
Some magical moments at the Lion Country Safari...
It was then north on the Turnpike to O-town to see Bob (aka dad, G-dad) and my brother, Bill, super-sister-in-law Kathleen and nephews Jackson (age 4) and Davis (age 7 mos). Getting the cousins together…this was where the real fun began.
We will be in Orlando until Saturday morning at which time we will head on up to Jax to see Sacha for a little breakfast.
