Gnorm is welcomed in Florida!

The closer we got to Florida the "antsier" Gnorm became. He knew things were somewhat different. We left home in 50' temps and we took him to the FL Visitor Center in mid 80' temps.
Humidity is much higher than Gnorm was used to so we treated him to a "taste" of FL...







We also told him his accomodations would be a little different than he's been used to!


Gnorm was really taken back when we introduced him to a "Gnorm size" palm tree!














Gnorm has no idea what's in store for him while here in central FL. We freshened up his "attire"
(repainted him) and headed out for the day with Gnorm under my arm.
Gnorm lost it when we treated him to an Hawaiian BBQ Sandwich at the "Earl of Sandwich." He got into the "sticker" thing early on!



















...then, Vicki gave him a treat at Ghirardelli's Chocolates!






He was right in his element when we introduced him to a few friends... (and a few for Angela!)














He thought they were all so cute and cuddly... until we brought him nose to nose with Mr. T. Rex!



















Then, we thought we'd take Gnorm to "new heights!"








...but, Gnorm thought he'd save this ride for another day!

Yahoooooooo!!

Gnorm is hitting the road again!

Gnorm has become a large part of our travels. Debbie has reluctantly agreed to part with Gnorm for a while longer. He literally "jumped for joy" when we informed him that he will join us as we head south for some time in the sun. Gnorm has been in charge of "manning" our entry stairs since we returned from our trip west. He actually needed some "down time." He was beginning to get a tad "full of himself" as his popularity grew thanks to everyone who got to meet him. We should also mention that, thanks to all of you who followed his Blog, his head was beginning to get just a bit too large for his knapsack!

So, we're going to put up with his popularity and forge on with him as we work and play in our southern home away from home. We hope you'll follow along with Gnorm as we introduce him to more fun and exciting people and places.
