Can someone tell people to stay home. OMG the traffic! I drove through Providence for four years and it wasn't this bad. Maybe it's the earthquakes fault. And I'm nowhere near the city. Well, technically the town I work in is called a city but it only has 25,000 people, smaller than my town.

Sympathy like that everything wasn't perfect. So sorry about the fighting. You were missed. Have fun catching up. No rush for the TR when you're ready.

Awww, thanks - it's nice to be missed! And I was just thinking that even though I've only known all of you for a brief period I probably would've had a lot more fun on this trip with you guys.

I thought it was so sweet to check in with us. Me I'm not that nice, I go totally off line on vacation, even my mother has to pick up a phone to call me! And it better be urgent LOL

I definitely went totally offline from work - usually I have the need to at least check my emails periodically so that when I get back into the office I don't have to deal with a gazillion of them! But I still have from now until Monday to take a peek at them…maybe.

I was going to say the only Marvel movie and then I remembered about the Avengers 2. I'll see both someday. I liked Iron Man 1 and 2. Iron Man 3, not so much. Surprisingly, I loved both Captain America 1 and 2.

I watched Avengers 2 on the plane ride home - it was good, but very similar to the first one, which isn't saying much. I love James Spader, though, so Ultron was very entertaining to me. Haven't seen Iron Man 3 yet, but also suspect I won't like it as much as the first 2. Still need to see both Captain America's! And now with Cesar's endorsement, I plan to see Ant Man, but will probably wait until it comes out on Netflix. I rarely go to the theater anymore to see movies.

Same here. I can get Bass and Guinness (as well as plenty of other UK/Irish brands like Harp - also brewed by Guinness - Belhaven, Newcastle, etc.) right around the corner. I'd be tryin' the different stuff, too...!

Yum, yum, yum, and yummy!! I love me some ales and stout!

DTD always gets more crowded in the evening but that was kinda early for so many people. Maybe 'cause it was Saturday night? Locals adding to the mix?

Yep, I'm guessing it was due to being the weekend and locals - a very different vibe than at the Disney parks. When I was there for lunch earlier in the week, it was much less crowded.

In other news.. I just read this news and its soo silly.

Telsa delivers "Ludicrous Speed" to your car.

The hilarity is.. that they will offer "Maximum Plaid" speed in the next one in 4 years (all jokes related to the movie SPACE BALLS)

One of my favorite movies!

A few time today it said I had to wait X seconds to post even if I hadn't posted anything in a while

I having the same trouble, being told I have to wait so many seconds.

Hello everyone, we just returned from our day trip. Lots of fun. My first time on an old steam train. Got to see a deer, on the way down. It was too fast and I couldn't get a picture. I will post a couple pictures tomorrow. I'm going to read and play catch up.

 

[catmom46]

It's usually a mob scene down there; and with the rehab of the area, I'm thinking that even more people may come to check it out. Hope you have fun in the stores and find a good place to eat!

We only checked out a few stores - Lego was absolutely insane! Then we stopped at LittleMisMatched and gawked at the prices. Final stop was Goofy's Candy Company where I got to use up more snack credits for souvenirs - woohoo!

We had dinner at Fulton's, which was pretty good. We both ordered the Maine Lobster Boil, since we had the Deluxe DP. So…Much…Food…But I ate it all, plus my husband's clams & mussels (they were pretty small, though). I'll post pics in my TR.

Night night sweet Disney dreams, lots to do here!

 

[catmom46]

How was DTD looking?

We didn't make it past the Boathouse, and I've never been there before, so I don't have a frame of reference. But it's definitely still a work in progress.

Is it the Durango and Silverton train? I've been on that; it was a blast and we went to an old mining town!

No, it's about 8 hours to Durango. But, this was only 1 1/2 hours away. Still a lot of fun. Now, I have the Durango and Silverton train to do, and the Royal Gorge Train to do. I fell in love with riding on the train. So restful and peaceful!

Bacon to the Square?

 

[betty rose]

Our ages are different and that let me tell ya makes a difference. It was that real high dew point over the heat that was getting to me. Now today mid 80's and lower humidity and dew points I was in heaven.

I was listening to the weather report from the gentleman I have deep respect for and he said tonight that we are half way through the warm weather months. It made me sad since we have had so little warm so far. Now rain, rain we've had.

Sorry about all the rain and cool weather. Colorado has never been so green. Plants are growing in the foothills, I've never seen before. And it's been cool here too. It was only in the low 70's today, we are supposed to be 90.

I know the answer to that bacon squared equals a visit to the cardiologist!

I'd better book my appt. pronto!!

You did it again, beautiful!

I'm sorry to hear that! I can totally relate, though. We just got back last night and already fighting this morning. There were definitely a few snags during our trip, so not as magical as we'd hoped, but overall it was good. I could've used more alone time, though.

I'm going to try to catch up on the thread a bit before posting a TR. I need some decompression time and reading what y'all been up to is the perfect solution!

Welcome back! Take your time posting your TR. I'll keep an eye out on the TR forum to watch for yours in due course. You just relax for now. Good things are worth waiting for.
