We were at MK on the 4th as well and I was shocked at the crowds as well! Actually from the angle of your picture we had to be standing very close to each other! The first weekend in Nov last year was much much worse. Did your mom decide on a place in The Villages? We have settled into our life here somewhat and really love it. Although we are no where near 55, the people here act so young, I forget that I live in a giant retirement community. Just tonight we went to a restaurant for happy hour and it was quite funny to see so many elderly people 2 fisting it because it was 2 for 1.
