OK...I am really enjoying your TR and I'm now up to page 22 but I had to stop and comment on a couple of things before I forget...
I love your photos and description of your meal at FF-when we go for Alice's 16th next year-we'll actually be there for our anniversary too... 6th, 7th -her bd 8th-our anniverary, 9th, 10th 11th...
FF was great! Really loved it! How cool that you will be there for Alice's birthday and your anniversary. That is so cool. You will all have buttons, well almost all of you!
I had been thinking of Eric and I doing a dinner at either Narcooses or Flying Fish...(since I think we'll do CG or Brown Derby for the 16th BD) and I'm guessing you'd recommend...FF over Narcooses...
..plus I think I'd rather have a nice quiet dinner with just the two of us...no third party on the plate staring at us...
...love seafood...and boardwalk is so pretty and night...
For the food....definately the FF. For the view and the romantic ambiance - Narcoosees. I really think that may favorite, all-around dinner was Artist Point. The restaurant was the prettiest, the service was the best, and the food was really good. I liked the food slightly better at FF, but I just didn't care for the way the restaurant was decorated. It looked a little too casual for me. Anyway - you have a difficult choice in front of you.
Oh....and I love BD adn the CG, too. That's a tough decision, too. I think I would probably pick CG, if you haven't been there before. I loved the food and the wait staff there and the view.....well simply amazing.
Your poor feet...
...it's amazing how uncomfortable and unhappy such relatively small parts of your body can make you feel...I truly admire your will power to go run the next morning...
...I am inspired-I've been wanting to get started running (since my long term goal is to run a half marathon someday...
if you can go out with your feet like that...I can get my butt up and run or at least walk-run a bit tommorrow morning...
( I even have a heart monitor...)
My feet really, really hurt on Monday night. And they were actually starting to hurt by the time we left AK, but not as bad as Monday night.
I am loving your photos of AK and all I have to say is that you look like you are having such a blast on EE---I just tried it in August...and I did love it...
but sadly whereas you look like you are brave and screaming in victory...I look like I am screaming from terror...(which I partially was-but in a fun way...
) Also those are some pretty great photos up there on EE...I think your DH has a really steady hand and pretty calm nerves to be taking such awesome, detailed photos during that ride...
I did have a blast on EE. I remember that ride in TR. You were a bit nervous, shall we say!
I do best on the first ride of EE. I tend to get dizzy on subsequent rides, so that always make me a little less brave.
My DH did do a great job with those pictures, didn't he? I was so proud!
I love all the Tree of Life photos.... the owl is incredible! Photographing the TOL was one of my must do's in August but unfortunately we didn't get there.
Must-MUST do now!
Must - MUST do......
I like that! I'm going to use that for my next trip. I will have a list of "must-do's" and "must - MUST do's". Maybe that will help me prioritize better.
Beautiful Tree of Life pics!
But all your AK pics have been awesome!
Thanks......and......THANKS! I think I am definately improving in terms of getting better subject matter!
Another smiling picture! I love it
Mary Ellen, that was a great picture of you and Denny! Love the smile!
Can you believe it!
It looks a little forced, but I still think its acceptable!
Next trip I think I will have a contest and have people guess how many pictures I smile in! Gotta luv it!
Gosh, for 6 months out you wouldn't think so! I'll be watching yours, so far the 6 month out people have been getting what they want, hope that's true for us. Assuming we don't have to change dates....
I hear ya'. I'm worried about that, too except we really can't change dates. I'm worried more about the park hours changing. I am planning everything, EVERYTHING, I tell you, around the AK late EMH.
I have heard it! That is how I know you are a musician! A very sad occasion, but a good song!
Thanks! I like the song, but I really want to learn how to take it up a notch and compose more sophisticated things. I just don't have the right theory background to do that. Oh well. I regret that I never took piano lessons. My mother was an excellent piano player. When I was growing up I remember thinking, "I'll never be that good, so why try". Ah, the adolescent mind - so sophisticated. Funny story - My mother was taught by someone who used to hit her fingers with a ruler when her finger positioning was incorrect. Can you imagine?
But, since we are still off topic......One more question.....Do you have a specific notation software that you recommend? I had a bootleg version of Encore, which finally quit when I installed a new printer. I liked Encore, but it costs about $400 to buy new. I'm obviously not elgible for an upgrade, since someone gave the original version to me. I would like to get something less expensive. It clearly doesn't need all the bells and whistles, because the most sophisticated I get is soprano, alto, and a flute descant. I just noticed that I was writing more when I had software to write the music. I need to get back to that. And the only copy I had of John's Song was sent away for copyrighting. Shortly after that my Encore died!
I went on line today just to do a trial run and see waht's available. for some reason it was impossible to get a Sanaa ADR. I wonder, do you have to call for that one??????
