One evening in early March, we took a quick trip to Disney's Animal Kingdom. The park is teeming with vibrant wildlife and captivating adventures. We embarked on a safari through the African savannah, where we encountered elephants, giraffes, and sleepy lions shown in their natural habitat. The lush rainforests of Asia and the mystical world of Pandora, left us in awe of the park's ingenuity and attention to detail. As the day turned to evening, we enjoyed seeing the central Tree of Life. This is our second visit to Disney's Animal Kingdom as we visited the park in 2002 with the kids.

Got up early (4AM) to take the long drive down to the south coast to look at purchasing a classic 1960's Wolseley 1500 saloon car. We were held up in an 11 mile long traffic jam on the M-25 but finally reached our destination in Isfield, East Sussex The purchase did not go through but the owner had a lot of other interesting pre-war classics that he allowed us to see. We'll keep chasing classic cars until we find the right one to add to the collection!

I took the afternoon off from work to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary at Epcot and were lucky enough to share the day with Micah.

The parades, character meet-and-greets, and the nightly fireworks spectacular, "Happily Ever After," add an extra layer of enchantment to the experience.

"Revving Up the Excitement!" This is the second year running we have attended this annual event in Central Florida. It is much more than just an auction; it's probably one of the best places to see so many rare classic cars in one place. One of the most enticing aspects of the auction is the size of the venue and the diversity of classics on display. From sleek muscle cars to elegant vintage luxury vehicles, every aisle is a journey through automotive history. Enthusiasts and collectors alike can feast their eyes on a stunning array of vehicles, each with its own unique story and charm. The Mecum Classic Car Auction is more than just an event; it's a journey through time, a celebration of automotive artistry, and an opportunity to connect with like-minded enthusiasts. I'm sure we'll be back next year.
