I really feel like I am shirking my TR. I just can't seem to get my updates in with the frequency I want too. I apologize. I will try to do better, but probably can't, at least until soccer season in over.
So....when we left off last, Denny and I were leaving the AK to go back and take a pool break. We only spent a little over 4 hrs in AK and we didn't do a ton of things. What did we do? Well.....just to recap we did EE twice, saw Nemo, rode Primeval whirl, ate lunch at Tusker House, and explored Discovery Island. On paper it doesn't look too productive, does it? But it was really fun, relaxing and a blast, all at once. My "taking time to smell the roses" approach to AK really paid off. I found a new appreciation for the beauty of infinite details that punctuate the AK. Put in simpler terms, I learned how to effective channel my "inner CP".
Back at Pop I considered lying down and taking a nap, but the call of the great outdoors was just too much. So off we went for our second dip in the computer pool. Of course, it was time for more pictures.....
Denny and I seem to have a penchant for bringing on the rain anytime we go for a swim. As was true to form, it started to pour about 10 minutes after we arrivied. I am not one of those people who "freak" with the first rain drop. But it rained pretty hard, so we spent a good deal of time under this umbrella......
But I knew the rain would stop, and my patience was rewarded about 10 minutes into the wait. When the rain first stopped I decided to go in search of the ever elusive Pop picture that I had seened posted once of twice on the boards. Always posted by someone "in the know" and Since I was also "in the know", I set off to prove it.
There is was.....the Rubics cube on the corner of the 80's building.....
So, up inside I ventured......
It was a little slippery inside that cube given the rain and my blistery feet. Ignored my pain and climbed higher until I finally emerged on the 4th floor.
(note.......there is a non Disney structure in the background of this picture).
And there it was.........the Welcome sign I missed photographing on my arrival.....
Here's another one.....just in care you missed the first one.......
This sign is the reason I was hoping to stay in the 80's building facing the parking lot. I thought it was be a great thing to see every morning.
When I got back down the sun had started to come out and we enjoyed our swim in the computer pool. A nice little boy came up and started having a conversation with me. He wanted me to watch him "jump" into the pool. He did a variety of fancy jumps and asked me for a commentary on each. It brought back memories, because my boys used to do the same thing. The strange thing was, I could not find a parent for this kid for the longest time and it was starting to make me nervous. Finally, the elusive dad appeared. But the fine young sir kept talking up a storm anyway. I was eventually reprived when some other young swimmers destracted my new found friend.
We probably spent close to an hour at the pool. It was just what I need to wind down and recharge. I took some more pictures as we headed back to the room.
I can't really remember what POP pictures I already posted, so I hope you will forgive me for double posting some of them.
Up Next.....Kona Dinner and
MNSSHP
I'm sitting here hungry, just thinking about them! 
5 times in a row! I can't do that. I start to get dizzy after the second ride. I guess the fluid in my inner ear gets stuck or something. You'd have to carry me out after the fifth ride. Ahhhhh.....face it....I'm just getting old! 
...but I'm happy for other who can...so have a great time-and take pictures...
I will need to restock some Basin by May!
