Kobe Steakhouse and a Room for the Night
A new day has dawned (and then some) and we try to forget about Saturday’s misfortunes and move on. We start with break-lunch (it was 3pm) at Bojangles. A southern fast food chain that caught my attention because they have pork chop sandwiches! It was actually quite tasty for fast food. The biscuit was fresh and the pork chop was juicy and seasoned nicely. Not pictured is the awful drink mixup that was not helping my confidence in the day. I ordered a cherry soda of some sort, put in the straw, take a big swig and get SWEET TEA! Ugh, ptooie, ew ew. I get Chris to run in…

Road Trip to Orlando – Through Mountains and Mayhem
I had a last minute work item that kept me downtown late, and so we didn’t get the early start we had wanted on our drive. In fact, it was nearly 2 in the afternoon when we finally got rolling. Most of the evening before and early morning spent doing this: Finally though we had everything packed, in the car, all the cats were accounted for, the house/cat sitter had all they needed, and we were ready to get on our way. We decided to take I-77 south so we could get the pretty mountain view with the fall colors, and figured on stopping somewhere around Charlotte, NC for the…

Disney World 2014: A Halloween Road Trip
It seems like we’re creating a habit of last minute trip plans to Disney World. While 2011 was booked about 6 months in advance this time it was just three. This year marked our 5th wedding anniversary, and 15 years being together. Such a milestone deserved an awesome celebration and so after some budget wrangling, deliberation, discussion, and angsty hand-wringing we got a hold of a TA and put down the deposit. Our first option had been for Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to get it booked in time and the last room sold. Mind you – we were trying for a popular time (Halloween, October), and…

WDW 2011 – Florida Day 14
1/22/2011 We awake early (around 5:30 am); after a fitful night’s sleep knowing we were to be leaving; and quietly pack the car and check out. Most of the process is in darkness still, and fairly boring and uneventful. I grab a few snaps once in the airport: Sorry Harry… I just wasn’t that into you this trip. See? Told you it was damned early.

WDW 2011 Day 13 – Epcot and Magic Kingdom (last day)
1/21/2011 Our last day in the parks. Today was the least structured. By now coordinating 4 adults with different thoughts on how to tackle / see each park and rides was getting to everyone just a tad. We were all still on speaking terms however – so it wasn’t a complete meltdown. We headed to the Magic Kingdom parking lot and took the tram to Epcot first. I love these billboards around Disney. Our last time passing this sign.

WDW 2011 Day 12 – Hollywood Studios
Friday 1/21/2011 Day 12 finds the weather a bit grey and drizzly. We decide to do Hollywood Studios one last time – but we don’t even spend too much time there. This park really needs to be looked at for their next major expansion. I’d love to see more movie related stuff – like a theatre that runs some of the old Disney cartoons or a studio where you get to mix your own short (how to cut scenes, simple fade transition, drop in some music and maybe record yourself over an animation). Anyone with any power reading this? I want a commission! Because of the weather and the fact…
