A Hot Time in Disney

Disney World, they say, is a magical place. Yes, it is unless it is in the mid 90's and there is people everywhere. We used the last of our seasonal passes on an extended weekend. It was nice to be able to camp and use our trailer at Fort Wilderness, but the time we spent in the parks was very HOT !!! The only good thing for us was that we were in no rush and we were not trying to do all the parks in X amount of days. We spent Friday at Disney's Animal Kingdom because that was the park that we had been to the least. We rode the river rapids ride and got totally soaked and we were wet most of the day from that. We did both of the shows there, Lion King and Finding Nemo. We both thought that Finding Nemo was the best show that we have seen at any of the Disney Parks. Of course we did all of the firework shows over the 4 nights we were there. Terri's favorite is Fantasmic, at Hollywood Studios and mine is the Illuminations at Epcot. Our last night we did the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom. The fire works were good, but we really enjoyed meeting this couple there that has been married for 50 years. They were a neat couple from Maryland. Of course they couldn't believe the heat either. We talked to them for about 30 minutes after the show while we waited for the crowds to thin out. Terri and I both said that we hope to be able to spend our 50th wedding anniversary at Disney. We shall have to wait and see. We are only close to being half way there. Well our next camping trip will be Halloween - our youngest will be 18 and wants to go camping for his birthday !!!! Imagine that !!!!

Happy New Year !!!

Wow, the start of another year and another decade. My Mom always said that the older I get the faster the time will go by. I can't believe that it is 2010 already. Seems like Yesterday that I was a kid and amazed at the start of the Bicentennial New Year in 1976. I remember thinking that the year 2000 was so far away. Then the year 2000 came along with all the worries of the new millennium (so much worry and fuss for nothing). Now here we are 10 years later. Right now it is hard for Terri and I not to wish the time would go faster as we have the worst case of Hitch Itch. Yet we know that you can not wish your life away and that you really need to enjoy each day, one day at a time. Our chance will be here before we know it. So with that said, my wife and I would like to wish all of you a very Happy New Year. May 2010 be great to you and yours. This is the year of preparations for us. Our time will be here before we know it.

Weekend At Myakka State Park and New Friends

Wow, what a great weekend. We camped at Myakka State Park this past weekend and had a great trip. Let me start from the beginning. I took off both Friday and Monday, unfortunately Terri had to work both of those days but Joined Cinnamon and I after work on Friday )more on that later). I arrived on Friday just after noon. I found my spot, which was a little tight and close to our neighbors, but I made due. I met our neighbors, Ed and his wife Susan and Ed helped me get backed in. We chatted for a couple of minutes and then they let me get set up. After I got most everything set up I called Terri and let her know the exit and site number for when she came down after work. So with the afternoon to our selves Cinnamon and I went for a walk and then came back and we chatted with Ed a little more. Ed and Susan are from Newnan, Georgia and have been at the cap ground for about 3 weeks now. This was their 4th year of coming to Myakka and they really like this campground. We had a good convers...
