Went down to O-Town to visit my CM sister last weekend. Tried some new things, tried some old things. Good trip all in all....here are the highlights:
WED 9/28 -- Was supposed to get to town about 10:30p. Due to storms in Dallas, the plane left 2 1/2 hours late. After getting the bags, getting the car and getting myself to All Star Sports it was 2:30a and time for bed.
THU 9/29 -- Morning came way too early. Poor sissy had to work and was up at 6:15. We went to breakfast at Whispering Canyon Cafe in WL. I love the breakfast skillet. They changed thier potates though and nixed the coffee cake. Otherwise, a quite entertaining experience. We achieved a new personal record of 36 bottles of ketchup on the table at once.
After breakfast, I played golf at Eagle Pines. What a fun course! It's one of those where you have to use every shot in your bag.
Then it was nap time until dinner at Cape May Cafe for the long anticipated clam bake. I must say that I was kind of disappointed. The salads were good, the clam chowder was excellent, and fried cod, baked salmon and prime rib all quite tasty. I just don't get the whole steamed clam bit. Too much work for little reward.
After dinner, sissy and I went back to Epcot for Illuminations and EHM. I totally forgot about the inferno barge. That's how good the rest of the show is. Watched the show by Norway, which is a very good vantage since the Italy bridge was closed for a party. May have to see it there more often.
After some rides, we left Epcot and went to PI. I like how you can now get on the Island without paying admission. You only need pay when you go into a club. So, we went down to the beach club and got a bucket from one of the outside bars. The bucket is the best deal on PI. $9.00 for the first, $7.00 for refills. We hung out for the "new years" celebration and listened to thier stage band (Caliente) for a while. By now, it was 1:00 and time for sleep
More to Come...
