Hooray Disney!!

Thursday night after chillaxin in the pool we headed to the Black Angus for some BEEF! With stomachs full, we headed over to Old Town. The last time we were there they had classic cars cruising...this time it was a swarm of 2-wheelers...and some 3-wheelers. Lots and lots of pretty bikes and trikes. After walking off the meal, we stopped at what is possibly the best go-kart track we have ever been on. This was like a triple decker track that looped around and around climbing higher and higher until it straightens out you pick up speed on a huge decline that banks around into another decline back to the ground floor. Sweet ride.

We could have taken 2 2-day passes to Universal or 2 1-day passes to any Disney theme park. We were at Universal a couple of years ago, so we choose to go with Disney. Looking at the parks, the Disney-MGM Studios had the Star Wars attraction "Star Tours" and the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride, so we went with that park. Disney-MGM did not disappoint...except for the Drew Carey "Sounds Dangerous" attraction. Don't ever waste your time on this one...unless you just need a 15-minute power nap. Star Tours was alright, the AT-AT outside the ride was sweet. Muppets 3-D was neato. Best ride was the Tower of Terror...2 thumbs up! The only disappointment was passing the Star Tours attraction and seeing Darth Vader out posing for pictures, but the line was closed before I could get in to get my picture taken with him. :(
The live shows for Indiana Jones and the Extreme Stunt Show were really cool. Around 5:30ish we left the park and headed to Cracker Barrel for some dinner. On the way to the car, we passed a car that had the driver's side window busted out...eek. Glad it wasn't our car. After enjoying a fine "home cooked" meal, we headed back to the park to catch the 8pm show of Fantasmic! Left the park for the last time and headed to Downtown Disney and strolled the shops there. Ended our walk at the Haagen-Dasz and got ourselves a ice cold tasty treat. A great close to the magical world of Disney and our Friday in Orlando.

Saturday we slept in, grabbed some lunch, another nap and then headed to Cocoa Beach. We nixed the Space Center plans, just too worn out. Weather wasn't so great, so we didn't even get in the water. Just cruised the beach and the pier and then went back home and relaxed in the pool. Finally packed everything up and tried to get some sleep before heading out to Miami to catch the RRRAIDERS!!!

Taking the Plunge

Well, it finally happened, my famous streak of saying no to timeshares is now over. But don't cry for me Argentina. We are now proud owners of a cute little week every other year. Which doesn't sound like much, but we also get 12 getaways a year. Woo-hoo.

They put us up in a fabulous two bedroom two bath condo. We are having so much fun here in our little house we don't venture out much except to eat, I'm sure thats not a surprise. We are having a blast here in cloudy/sunny/rainy/sunny Florida. Today we did the timeshare thing, had lunch, worked out, played some 1-on-1 basketball (Holly won on a last second shot...pure luck) and then just relaxed in the pool.


Who know whats for diner!? Tomorrow we get to go to Disney-MGM Studios and then Saturday we're off to Cape Canaveral and then play time at Cocoa Beach. All that is just the appetizer for the huge feast on Sunday. We leave early Sunday morning and head down to Miami for the RRRAIDER game!! Welcome to Miami, Bienvenido a Miami. Joey Porter has guaranteed a win this weekend....so we can't wait for this game! Especially since we get to go there riding a one game win streak! :P

We will be taking a lot more vacations...ones that we can take friends on, so I encourage all y'all to start buttering us up. Just kidding, but not really...


GO RRRAIDERS!!!- Frank and Holly

Hooray Football!!

Yea! Football is finally here. Luckily I'm not in the hospital getting my stomach pumped...had some week old melon again this week. The veggie lady is on crack man, it still tasted good, smelled good and had good texture. Whatever. So yeah, football is back! I am stinking up the place in my Pick'em League, lost 2 of my 3 fantasy football league games and I got knocked out of my Survivor league in the first week. Hooray football!!

And yes...I picked Oakland in week 1 for my survivor league. If I was going down, I was going down in blaze of loyalty. Plus, I really thought they could win. I hadn't counted on our defense not doing so well. The offense at least had some life. Detroit did a good job of double team D.Burgess pretty much the whole game and Kitna had time to pick our secondary (which has no depth) apart. It was still a great game for us...nice to see them fight back and try to win for once. Plus, the brisket, mashed taters, nacho cheese and all that good stuff makes any game great.

Theres hope for the Raiders though....can't wait for our new rookie QB to step on to the field. Here he is...just look at his vertical!! That alone gives him a competitive edge over any defensive player on the field. He'll just be jumping over peeps Mario style yo!
