Yay! I am caught up here, just in time to head over for a little shin dig for our little Maddox turning three today!
As you know, I love love love AK! It seems my companions and I are always on the move when we are there. So I have never had a chance to just sit and listen to the music, although we did steal a few moments this last trip. A Bloody Mary mid morning while enjoying the performers sounds great!
Rafiki's teain to nowhere does not, however we firmly believe they trap you back there and don't send the return train to keep the crowds thinner back in the real park.
Oh, and I would love to join you for that drink, but the Texas kids have requested a DLR trip for Christmas 2016 so I don't think Oct will be happening unless I get better about saving
Happy birthday, Little Maddox!!! 3 is so full of wonder and excitment! No school yet, play all day, naps.... man! I'd love to be 3 again!
Yes, AK is a place where both being busy AND just sitting are all win situations. It really has the best of both worlds. Haha! That's funny about Rafiki's. We had a GREAT experience there and no issues with trains, but I CAN see that happening. Hmmm.... I think it's worth it if you have several trips into AK, but for a single morning or day into AK, not so much.
Tammie... DO think about a Ladies' Tripp in 2017. I think it would be fabulous to get 4 like-minded women together to share the cost of a resort room, get 6 day PH's and just explore together. Can you imagine the shenanigans?????
I'm glad Mike is back home, safe. That's unreal about the sinkhole at the Corvette museum. What a shame. I missed that somehow. I got to tour the Saturn plant that was in Wilmington, DE back in 2002 or so. It was really neat to see. Not quite as cool a product at the end as a Corvette plant, but I'm sure the process was similar.
Thanks Glenn!! He is pretty sure he'd go out again if called up. $4,000 in a week is nothing to sneeze at. 16 hour days of sitting in the 100 degree heat, running to and from the fire, camping in a tent, etc... yeah, I think they deserve it.
You should Google the security camera video!! It's unreal. You can see the cars simply disappear! Fwooop!
Yes, I"m sure the processes were quite similar. A lot of noise, people, busy-ness, etc.... I found it fascinating.
Hi Glenn! When you mentioned Saturn it reminded me of when we bought a new Saturn. It wasn't at the factory but when they gave us the keys they had the whole dealership come out and sing and cheer for us.
Not quite the Corvette factory, but it was exciting at the time.
That's actually even more cool! They didn't sing at the Corvette "Nursery".
