A visitor from Oklahoma!

My wonderful friend and roomie from the Chi O days came and visited Orlando this weekend!  Her sister Brooke lives here and we got to hang out with them this weekend!  I met them for lunch at a Mexican place called Agave Azul, which was really good mexican food!  We had a nice patio lunch in the beautiful weather then hit up the Millennia Mall for a couple of hours.  This mall is ridiculous!  just look at the stores that are in this mall!

Brooke was so kind to give us 2 tickets to the Orlando Magic game on Friday night (thank you again Brooke) and we had a blast!  I have always liked the Magic and although I will always be a MFFL, I can be a Magic fan too!  They played the New Jersey Nets and they won!  It was a great game and fun to get out and watch some basketball!  Lacey and I even got a pic with the mascot "Stuff" and I signed his cast because Stuff currently has a broken leg...like in real life...so they wrap his costume too!  Afterwards we went out with Lacey and Brooke and some (or 10) of her friends in downtown Orlando!  Downtown was a lot of fun and there are quite a few bars down there that I am sure we will have to go back and check out!   

On Saturday Kyle and I went to the mall to look around!  We picked up our tickets to the Kings of Leon concert that is in Orlando on May 5th and then bought 2 more tickets to see Third Eye Blind (kyle's all time fav band).  So that will be fun and something to look forward to.  That night we met the Rayburn sisters for dinner at a great place called Season's 52.  Basically, they change out their menu according to the seasons and what is fresh and in season.  The waiter told us that when we come back in 2 weeks the menu will be totally different and focus on spring seasonal items!  And everything is really good for you too!  Lacey and Brooke came back to our place for a bit and Brooke played ball with AW for like an hour and wore him out!  

It was a great 1st real weekend in Orlando!  Thank you again to Brooke and Lacey for hanging out with us and inviting us to tag along with yall!  It was nice to see a familiar face and definitely helped make Orlando feel like home!

Here was the view from our seats!  BTW, they play in Amway Arena, but they are building a new arena that is going to be so cool and it opens 10/10/10! 


Even warming up Dwight Howard's dunks are amazing!


Our 1st Orlando Magic game!

I could so pass as a Rayburn...

Dubbers on Saturday night right after they left, he was exhausted!


That's all the exciting news in FL for now!  Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Love,
