It's Wednesday!!

Mac, with Bluers enjoying the parks, I guess the camel is sleeping.

Cielei, thanks for the picture. When it gets closer, I'll PM you. My kids are a bit older. Both love all the thrill rides and like Harry Potter.

Nice storm last night. Very quick, but 50 mile an hour winds took down electric lines and large trees. Change of a storm passing through later today.

Schumi, hope you had a nice day. So far, we've had beautiful sun.

Keisha, still sending I hope all is better soon.

Lynne......hope you have no more storm damage your neck of the wood.....can be devastating! Oh and I agree with you about the menu at LC........that is not food we would order over here from a pub never mind in Orlando. Pub food is so much more than that and so much better.........don't know anyone who eats toad in the hole........although I'm sure people do!! Ice cream place looks good though



Had the best day today. For our sons birthday that was in January, he wanted another track day at a racing circuit. So as you can only do it on selected days we booked it for today, hoping weather would be better.......and it was.....it was gorgeous. Last time was April and it was quite cold.

He drove 4 super cars, Porsche, Aston Martin, Ferrari and his favourite was the Lamborghini Gallardo.........boy was he fast. And he drove a kit car called a Ginetta......it was fun. He loved every second of it. Long time to wait for a birthday gift though.........

But DH had a surprise for me.........he had booked me in for a race experience too.......I had no idea So I got to drive an Aston Martin .........it was so much fun as I had never driven one on any track days we have done before, plus it was a lovely surprise.

So Chinese tonight, bottle of wine and football.........really good day.

Hope everyone's good..........

the force is strong with this one...

summoned me back to the dark side

thank you all for the good vibes. It has finally sunk in that sometimes no matter how hard you try to make something right it's just not going to happen. Working towards accepting whatever the fates have in hand for my mom and trying to stay positive.

have missed you all, now to go back to see what I've missed here.

Dammit Janet.........just missed your post last night!

Nice to see you back posting and just for you.


After all the glorious weather we have had today is dull.....very dull! No BBQ tonight then........but supposed to pick back up again at weekend

So we all slept late today.....heard DS get up at 9.30......so thought I better get up too. DH slept another hour......think we are all a bit whooped just now.

Lazy day ahead......well just some laundry, vacuuming, dusting and popping out for some groceries later.

Avoiding all Potter stuff at the moment.........wow!

 

[schumigirl]

Keeping us on P1...........

Potter takeover.

Hi

Welcome back Janet...you were missed.

Carole...sounds like you had a perfect day yesterday. Hang on to your Tom...he's a keeper.

Spent the day doing yard work... mulched the rose garden and did a little planting/weeding. I must be getting old cause I'm one whipped puppy....nothing a hot bath and a few beers can't fix.

Hope you all have a great weekend

 

[macraven]

Nope we left the Darkside Wednesday late afternoon. We headed over to Titusville to do Kennedy Space Center. We got over to the hotel a round 5 pm. Checked in and that's when things went wrong.

We got our keys and proceeded to our room. If you know me I DO NOT bring my bags into the room until all clear, leave them in the car. We don't have anything valuable in the bags. Also I do a full inspection in the room with a flashlight.

So open the door and the room is kind of dark with all dark carpet. Not a real big deal. Mind you this is a newer hotel. Everything was good (still not like Universal) until I pulled back the sheets on bed number 2.

The mattress all the way around the edges had light brownish spots and streaks. Well that's a good sign for you know what. I searched a little more and saw no actual bugs, but that does not mean they are not there. So one bed was fine the other had issues along with the dark carpets with no tile accept a little bathroom. I looked at DW and said we cannot stay here. I will not risk that chance. Mind you we also booked this room with no refund to get a cheaper rate, planned on no issue. Trip advisor gives this pretty much the best reviews in this area.

I told DW I don't care about the money and since we live about 2 hours away we just cut the trip short. So we went to the front desk to let them know that we are not going to stay. Explained the whole thing and they knew I was serious when I showed them my flashlight. I told her I know there is no refunds but we are leaving and wanted to let them know. She went out back and told the manager, came back out and said they would check us out, cancel our reservation, and refund the hold. I told the girl that's great and really appreciate that.

So we drove home and slept great in our own beds.

Yesterday we decided to continue or vacation and went shopping at Sawgrass Mills mall. Got home late and now back up to drive to Kennedy Space Center for the day. DS is happy and so is DW. So today we tour spaceship land.


Everyone have a good day and will post later.

TGIF!

oldest spawn's BD today. Took GD on her 1st big girl coaster last weekend @ Idlewild park, where does the time go? enjoy those kiddies while they are young.

bluer ew, ew, ew & ew. Glad you are heading back north today to check out KSC, love it there, so much to see & do. Have you guys seen a shuttle launch? we were never was able to catch one despite scheduling many trips around launch dates.

mac Keep the 50 degree weather in Chicago please. The rains of the last month have finally ceased this week. we have humidity in the 70 percentile but it's sure nice to see the sunshine.

carole - I did watch the NBC tv special re gringotts, surprised it went into such depth. So many threads here on the ride. I'm resisting reading them to keep the surprise element there for next trip. surprise! there's a 2 hour+ waitlol

tink - just say no to weed(s).

 

[macraven]
