Time sure can fly

Even when nothing major is going on, time seems to pass so quickly. Over a month and a half ago I was asked to update my blog since I hadn't for a while. I was away on vacation at the time, so I've been saying to myself since I got back I need to go and update my blog. So finally, here I am. :-)

Since my last post, I've been to Orlando for ShowEast (theatre convention), California to visit family, and Las Vegas for ShoWest (another theatre convention). I've also had several weekends of traveling to Pittsburgh to see my sister-in-law and her family or up to Franklin to see my family. It seems like lately we've been getting no more than one weekend at home alone in a row.

Orlando was a lot of fun. We got to see I think 9 movies (including Earth, Soloist, Bolt and Soul Men). Met with some vendors and saw some new products coming out too. That's always interesting. After the convention was over we switched from the Marriott where the convention was to Port Orleans French Quarter (a Disney hotel). We went to Epcot one day and met up with one of my husband's co-workers and his family who were also on vacation. We were there during the International Food and Wine Festival. That was rather interesting we got to try out some new food, but probably not quite as many as we would have liked. The portion size was rather small and the price was $2 and up for each item. So we didn't do a whole lot of that. Although I did try some ginger ice cream (I think that's what it was) and that was really good. We had been to all four Disney parks in 2007 but we had a two day parkhopper pass and went to two parks each day. Epcot was the last one we went to, so we were really tired by that time and we didn't even really get to the world showcase.

The next day we went to MGM - which by that point was renamed Hollywood Studios. The only things I really remember us doing there this year were going to the Lights, Camera, Action stunt show and the Sci-fi Drive-in theatre restaurant. The Sci-fi restaurant was really interesting, it had cars with tables in them and a big movie screen which showed previews for cheesy sci-fi movies, and of course my husband recognized a few of them.

The next day we had a relaxing morning at the hotel, lounging around the pool. Then at two we went to Walt Disney World for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween party. We had so much fun there. You got goody bags and got to go trick or treating all around the park. There were a lot more characters out and about for photo ops during the party including more of the villains you don't usually get to see. We had started a Disney photopass card at Epcot so we got all kinds of pictures taken. When we tried to get our picture taken with Donald Duck in Frontierland he pretty much pushed Isaac away and was just hugging me and kissing my hand things like that. At first I couldn't figure out why. Then I remembered that when we packed for the trip we had assumed we would get t-shirts at the convention. We didn't get any though so we had to buy some while we were there. So in Epcot Isaac picked up at least one and so did I. Mine was a Three Caballeros shirt. The Three Caballeros shirt with Donald and pals on it is the one I was wearing when we went to Frontierland. We had a lot of fun at the Halloween party and I'm hoping we can go to the Christmas party sometime.

After that we had to come home.

I believe November was really uneventful, so in my next post (because I'm at work, and this one is already kind of long) I will start up with December. I'll also try to post some pictures from Disney. Blogger is acting weird today and I can't add pictures.
