Gnorm hits a couple of parks!

Gnorm headed for Sea World like he knew where he was going. The only surprise for Gnorm was getting through the bag check! I always ask the guards to try and not wake Gnorm up. This time the guard looked at Gnorm, paused and said, "now, why are you carrying a gnome in your bag?" I explained that Gnrom likes to get-around and that he's quite the traveler. The guard proclaimed that's the third strangest thing she had seen in a guest's bag today! Gnorm is such a hit everywhere he goes!!
Entering the park Gnorm couldn't resist checking out the strange pink birds...

Moving on, Gnorm was mesmerized by Shamu's show "Believe."


With all the excitement and fish galore, Gnorm couldn't resist a refreshment while I set his bag down...


Of course, Bill and Buzz didn't help! They encouraged Gnorm!
From there we made tracks for the Magic Kingdom.
Gnorm's train ride was a first for him. As we made our way around the park Gnorm tried to take in all the sites we passed.


Looking out over the entrance to the Magic Kindgom, Gnorm takes a last, long look before we end our day!

Gnorm visits Parkesdale Strawberry Farm!

Gnorm finally got to stretch his legs. Before heading out to enjoy the warmer temps, we thought today might be a good day to introduce Gnorm to one of Florida's seasonal treats... strawberries! We planned a stop at Parkesdale Farms in Plant City before heading to the Florida State Fairgrounds and the "SuperRVshow."

For just under three dollars you can enjoy an enormous strawberry shortcake!


While returning our tray, Gnorm thought he'd get the jump on me and chow down on something I had been looking for for over a year! I was on him in a heartbeat. He didn't have a chance to bring the spoon up to his lips! My fast move nearly cost me my bowl of yummy strawberries, I alsmost knocked Gnorm headfirst into my long awaited treat. I had to promise Gnorm that I'd let him be the "Strawberry King" for the day...


Gnorm had a big "strawberry" to fill but he looked elegant sitting in the "Strawberry Queen's" seat!
Once Gnorm had his fifteen minutes of fame, we all settled down for our long awaited (and highly anticipated) dessert...


Oh, the "SuperRVshow" was good but we'd have to say our stop at Parkesdale Farms was the highlight of the day!
