I am sure I am not the only person in the country wondering if this is really January.  Here in Florida we are in the middle of a heat wave!  It has been in the mid 80s the past few days.  This is my 3rd year living in Florida and I know no other Januarys were this warm.  I never thought I would be riding Kali River Rapids in January but I did yesterday and with a 40 minute wait time I was not the only one!  That was actually one of the shorter waits too, which again made me think is it really January?  The first week in January used to be a pretty slow time, but not this year.  Waits for the big e ticket rides were pretty much 70 minutes.  I was really surprised by the crowds.  It really seems that there just isn’t a slow time down here anymore.   We thought we would hop over to MGM to catch the last weekend of the Osborne Lights and maybe that would help us remember what time of year it is.  This was my first time checking out the lights after the holidays and while the lights are still just as nice the feeling just isn’t the same.  The crowds were still the same though which again made me wonder what is today’s date? I am guessing that the marathon runners were pretty happy to find warmer temperatures than last year.  That crack of dawn start time has to be easier when you are not freezing waiting for the sun to come up. 

Sunday High: 84° F Low: 68° F

I have decided since it feels like summer why not head to the beach!  So Daytona here I come!!

Enjoy your day wherever you are!
