Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Thought you had got your dates mixed up there Chuckers.......I wish it was such a short time!


Hasn't brightened up the whole day here........waiting for DH to be dropped off after a day of meetings with the Saudis........prosecco time!

Going to try and watch Pirates of the Caribbean again tonight.........I don't get Johnny Depp at all.........saw him many years ago in one of our visits to Paris. He reeked of cigarettes and looked like he needed a good wash. So, not really a fan.......but DH likes those movies, so will try..........I'm good like that..... just keep the prosecco flowing and it'll be fine.......

Really need some sunshine though..........fed up with these grey skies.........

VB looks good! Water flowing down the volcano. It's like a war zone when you get off I4 though. I'll try to get over and get some pics.

Yes please. Not surprised about the traffic. Glad to see you at the Dark Side.

Keep hearing how bad it is around that area..........have fun!



Loved PoTC..........I see the attraction of Capt Jack Sparrow.........johnny Depp not so much.........

Bottle of prosecco down and nearly ready for bed over here.......weekend all ahead

Another spring day in midwest, another Tornado warning. Got gazebo canopy down, chickens locked in coops. Oldest and friend were at mall and got home just before storm hit. Of course she comes in all excited about the "shelf" cloud they saw-living with a science geek is never dull. Strong winds/rain but no damage to us so far.

Yay for those on or soon to be on vacations!

Sometimes procrastination pays off-August flights went down for us for SW!! Guess I'd better actually buy those tickets now LOL. Waiting on Allegiant to come out with schedule for Thanksgiving-I bet we will extend a day before and day after for cheaper flights (like >$200 pp cheaper-love vacation math).

Pot of bolognese sauce simmering on stove. With salad (romaine and radish from garden) and fresh bread...

Springfield basebal cardinals game last night-saw a friend I haven't physically seen (talked to but haven't seen her in a
couple years since she moved out of town) and she got offered a job in Germany!! Leaving later this summer-big move for her and her family but they are excited.

Better go check my sauce. Debating we want to go out tonight or not-friend sings with a popular local band and have been getting texts from friends who are going...

Can't wait to hear reports on Volcano Bay!

Front tower next to VB. This is right after I turned on to Adventure Way.

Where did you and the boys eat at tonight ?

 

[macraven]

Looking at oct flights

$315 for sw rt

No way Jose
Last few years paid under $159 out the door

Less nonstop flights and icky times

Might as well and bite the bullet with Delta

AA and Unites also possible but cheaper than delta and less desirable flight times

Aggravating

Night owls have dropped like flies now

 

[schumigirl]

Early shift is here.......

Tom is grilling bacon mac, pancakes are ready, fruit is chopped.........get your skates on and join us........

That tower does look nice........much more appealing to me than original CBay look......thnaks for the pic pc.......

Can you guess?

 

[pcstang]

We checked in around 10 am yesterday. Check in was packed all day.

 

[pcstang]

I haven't stayed at Royal in a while so I don't know when these were installed. There are several throughout the property.

Agree. I was waiting in traffic when I took the pic. The have the security huts setup too on the SF side on the walking path that takes you to the underpass of adventure way. I'll try to get over there in the next day or two and attempt to get good pics.

A rainy good morning. Early crew is here. Older one is dog sitting again, so I am letting little one sleep. DH left, and came right back in to get his raincoat. He is like, it is raining out there. Oh, must not be hard, as did not hear it. Guess I should have. No clucking heard so far.

Last night, the shore got a severe thunderstorm with nickel sized hail. We got muggy.

Ah, the start of the summer travel. Week before our Memorial Day is prime vacation week, as you get it capped with a long weekend. Then the week of is also busy, as you get a free day. Us, not anything busy. My Dsis did open her pool yesterday, so if the weather is nice, our first swim of the year. Lucky, she does have a heater for the pool.


Aw, that is sad to hear Mac. I feel like the airfare has been higher, and SW offering less desirable flights this year. SW's Anniversary is coming up soon, hopefully you see better prices for October. Either way, it will be nice to see ya again.

Hehe, PC doing investigations. Love the picture of the pretzel kid. At NBC Grill? Did not know how big their pretzels are.

MonyK, hope your weather improved, and no damage from the storms rolling through your area.

It is Saturday, and time to make breakfast. Yes, bacon. Hmm, maybe French toast. Little one is not an egg fan. Over easy, and she may eat it. Me, scrambled or if I have toast, sunny side up is fine.

Time for tea. Little one will have water. She is not a tea fan either. I wonder where she came from. LOL

 

[Lynne G]

Rain is gone, but temperature is 30 degrees less. Jacket needed.

Watching giant food, and now I am hungry.

Seems everyone is busy this Saturday. Hope it means all the homies are having fun.

 

[Robo56]

Yeah! We arrived about 3:30. One night at SF then over to our home away from home PBH. It is busy here for sure. Nice view from the room

 

[macraven]

Lovely view !!!!!



Know you will have oodles of fun

Well, the oldest has been hit with a triple whammy...just getting out of the Emergency Room...already knew about strep, but he also has mono and an enlarged spleen.

We are supposed to be heading out in nine hours, but we will see how he is doing. Doctor was not concerned with him going...not in the park until Tuesday...just wants him to take it easy on rides that push on abdomen.

 

[Lynne G]

Sorry to hear about your oldest, Wag. Hope a good antibiotic and he gets lots of rest.
