Memorial Day Weekend in FL

What a crazy weekend!
Saturday night I got off at 8, hung out a bit in Magic Kingdom with a friend and then drove an hour and a half north to Ocala for a dive on Sunday in Williston, FL at Devil's Den.
It was supa' cool.
Literally.
The water was 72 degrees.
Freezing!
Anywho, I would love to dive it again in the winter time when that would be VERY warm relative to the weather. Since it is a spring, it is a constant 70 year round. It had caved in creating a cool effect of ambient light. After two dives I finally reached level 2 in diving. Because of m speciality classes (Navigation, Boat, Deep, Limited Visibility/Night), I was now officially a specialty diver as well!
New scuba card for Madison!
Sunday evening was spent back here in Celebration with a quick bike ride, Toy Story Macaroni and cheese, and watching Tron (overrated by the way).
I worked yesterday and had a great time. I love working at role that involves two attractions. Going from the heat of driving free floating rafts to the air conditioning of a 20 minute show is really nice - much better than pushing roller coaster buttons all day.
This morning I started running again, just over a mile to start. My brother wants us to run the St. Jude Half Marathon the first weekend of December. I volunteered last year and it was a great time. I downloaded an app called Nike+GPS. It is free for a limited time, so go check it out now! It is great for keeping up with everything plus you don't have to buy their shoes or their sensor, you just need an iPhone (sorry no iTouch since they don't have GPS).
I'm headed to EPCOT right now to eat lunch at Coral Reef, a restaurant that is built around their huge aquarium. Afterwards we are headed to dive the same aquarium which includes a tour. I hear it is a wonderful experience, and cast members get half off (only 90 instead of 180), so why not!?
Only one week til I fly back to Tennessee for Bonnaroo! I'm volunteering this year with my brother. He is picking me up at the Nashville airport on his way to Manchester. For those who are unaware Bonnaroo is apparently a modern Woodstock (rockin' music festival). I was told by a guy I met scuba diving to bring battery-operated fans since it will be hella hot, make sure the car is filled with gas because traffic getting in is bad plus car chargers are the only way to charge your phone, and a cot or air mattress since the dew gets pretty bad. So anyone headed that way take note I guess.
Much love!
