Should I be worried?

The other day I went to get in my car and this is how the person parked in front of me.

"Should I straighten it out?"

"No, you're good. You're hugging the curb nicely."





I may need to reconsider parking on the street. It does save me about $1400+/year though.

Does Kenny Like Chalk?

The weather has finally started to get better here. Heather took Kenny outside to play and draw with some driveway chalk. I think Kenny enjoyed it.







He liked it until we told him it was time to put the chalk away and go inside.

Largo/Tampa Day 1 - Recap

My Mum and Dad left for Connecticut after out Magic Kingdom excursion. Heather, Kenny, and I then went to visit Heather's Dad and Pat at their place in Largo. There place is really nice, in a great quite area, and it's close to the beach (Kenny's favorite part about it as you can see).
Lots of turtles hanging out on the banks of a creek near the park.


Kenny enjoying the slide.

Orlando Vacation Day 5 - Recap

The final day of Orlando was really fun. We all went to Magic Kingdom. Kenny was feeling better and really was excited to see some of his favorite characters.

Here is the line of people waiting to get on the tram to go to the main gate. There was just a few people there.


Welcome to the happiest street and place on earth



Kenny wearing his favorite shirt to Magic Kingdom


Here is a clydesdale that was at the enterance. Kenny said, "Horrrrsse!"


Right off the bat we saw Kenny's absolutely favorite Disney character, Daisy Duck.

Kenny Staring Down Daisey


"It's Daisy!!!!"


Kenny just stared at Daisy as we were taking pictures. But once we were leaving he went over and hugged her.

We also found another one of Kenny's favorite characters after Pirates of the Carri bean, Goofy


This was our Jungle Safari Boat (It was a little dissappointing after going on the Safari Jeep Rida at Animal Kingdom where all the animals are real and not animatronic. I found out how much they pamper the animals at Animal Kingdom. They have rocks set-up near the jeep tracks that have air conditioning in them. The lions sit on them as a way to cool down, and the tourists get to see lions.)










We then went to the Country Bear Jamboree


Then Mom and Dad went on the Riverboat while Heather and I pushed a sleeping Kenny around the park.


The haunted Mansion from the Riverboat




Heather and I went on Thunder Mountain while Mom and Dad took a turn pushing a napping Kenny around. There was a little bit of a line, it took an hour to get on the ride. It was fun though.



We also saw The Mouse during the Magic Kingdom Parade

Orlando Vacation Day 4 - Recap

Day 4 was more golf for Dad and I and more Sea World for Heather, Mum, and Kenny. The nice part about buying a Sea World ticket is that if you buy a one day ticket you can revisit for free sometime in the next 7-days.

Kenny getting excited to go to the water park portion of Sea World.


Kenny trying to decide if he wants to get wet.




He decided it was fun to play in the water.


Mom and Kenny on the Flying Tea Cups




Kenny Riding Shamoo (Can you find Heather in this picture?)


A Dolphin just lounging around the dolphin tank


Flamingos - they turn colors because of the high level of beta-carotene that is contained in the crustaceans they eat.


Dad and I played two courses on day 4 - Disney Osprey Ridge Course and then the Waldorf Astoria Golf Course (very proper/fancy course)

Look at my stellar photography of Disney Osprey Ridge






As you know I rate restrooms when I go anywhere. The Waldorf Astoria was amazing. There on-course restrooms were immaculate. Look at the decor and amenities of their on-course restroom. May I remind you most golf course restrooms are cinder block with a less than clean toilet and sink.

Let's see, if you need to shave, use mouth wash, q-tips, reapply sunscreen/lotion, or need a tissue they have you covered while you are on the course.


The artwork in the bathroom was a walnut framed photo collage of the course and resort.


OK, the course was really nice and swanky. The parking lot was full of Mercedes, Jaguars, and then our rental Ford Fiesta.







After dinner we walked around Mystic Dunes and got some interesting photos.
