Saturday May 31st
Today DBIL and DSIL were heading off to West Palm Beach for a week so we said our goodbyes and said we would be in touch re the flight home on the 8th. It was then time to hit the shops and we went to the Mall at Millenia
One shop we always like but find it difficult to bring anything home from is Crate and Barrel, they have the most wonderful kitchen and dining items. This time though I found a couple of nice chopping boards so we got them. We also went in Macy’s and Bath and Bodyworks
By now it was coming up to lunchtime and Nathan had promised his DDad that we would get him a tall HRC lager glass if we could find one, plus Nathan wanted some Oakley sunglasses so off we went to USF. As we have annual passes parking was free and we headed over to the HRC for lunch and had burgers. I had the HRC Bacon Cheeseburger: A fresh 7 oz. Certified Angus Beef hamburger, topped with crisp seasoned bacon and your choice of melted cheese. Served on a toasted bun.
While Nathan decided to try the Legendary 10 oz Burger Famous the world over: topped with seasoned bacon, two slices of Cheddar cheese, a crisp fried onion ring, lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
After this we shared an ice cream and continued with our shopping, which included two pairs of Oakley sunglasses for Nathan
We were not done with shopping and stopped in at the Orlando Premium Outlets for a quick shop! On the way back to AKV we stopped at Publix for some food ie Krispy Kremes We got abck to AKV in time to see the shuttle launch, but there was a forest fire roughly in the direction of the coast 
Luckily the forest fire was just away from the shuttle route. I was rather impressed with the view considering the lack of view we had last October at DHS when the shuttle took off.
But soon after the fire got worse and from reading the Orlando Sentinel it was quite a big fire but some miles from WDW property.
Tonight looked like quite a good night to be out so we headed over to Epcot and the sunset was quite amazing.
Although soon after we saw clouds appearing and off in the distance we watched a rather nice storm.
Luckily the storm took a wide berth of Epcot and we enjoyed Illuminations. We had planned on going to Jellyrolls but as we were both still feeling rather tired we gave it a miss and went back to AKV.
