It’s cute!!! Do we know the price yet?

There was a media/blogger event today, merchandise to collectible and of course food and topiaries galore. Orange bird was out on a table with just this sign next to him. No price. Rumor is $14 beverage included.

Late to the party and doing it backwards:

Been to all of the States except: Alaska, HI, OR, WA, ND, SD, Minnesota, ID, Montana, Wyoming.

Well you get around Sir! My niece had hit all 50 states and DC by age nine. She had a goal. Then it was Europe. Currently almost done with South America, Central done and started tackling Asia the last 2 years. Last year she threw in Iceland, hated that. She is now 21.

It looks like my kind of place except for the ice slide.

I love slides. My favorite part of waterparks.

My BFF has two kids that build ice castles like these in Canada every year. So awesome. I really want to visit the one in Orlando.

The like is for the headphones. Homemade cranberry sauce with orange in it. I hid some for today

I love/hate you hide food. My DD makes a fresh Cranberry Sauce with fresh Orange and a tad bit of fresh orange juice. Love Love Love it.

I actually really love my own homemade ones. Cheaper too.

Exactly!

You have a point, I may actually like them in Orlando

Oh yeah.....I forgot Nevada and Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is a very long state....with a LOT of trucks! I don't feel the need to go back there.

NY, NJ and PA can all seem like that at times but if you get off the highways there are some beautiful small towns, historical landmarks, beaches(ok Pa's are lakes) museums, farms, and even nature

No crab feast for me. I can't stand any seafood. My husband would like it though.

Same for me....crab feast is a hard pass.

We were just trying to get through Pennsylvania as fast as we could. We were on our way to New York City where my choir was singing in Carnegie Hall. We made a whole trip out of it. We stopped in Illinois to see the family, we went to Washington DC for a day, we went to New jersey to meet some friends of my brother's and stayed one night there, and then we stayed with cousins in Connecticut....well, my brother and my mom stayed with the cousins. By that time, I had met up with the choir and stayed in NYC, but we did drop the car in CT and then we took the train into NYC. But it was raining cats and dogs while we were driving through Penn, and my mom loved driving, but even she was white-knuckled on the interstate with all those semis in the pouring rain. We couldn't get out of there fast enough!

But, but...everyone must at some point experience a steamed crab feast, preferably in Annapolis.

No crab feast for me. I can't stand any seafood. My husband would like it though.

A crab feast would be my worst food nightmare, I won't eat anything out of the sea.

It it sad I've been to all states in the Northeast but not Vermont?

Not sad at all, just something on your list you haven't gotten to.

Is it sad I've been to all states in the Northeast but not Vermont?

It's a nice state with some picturesque farmlands, mountains (skiing, hiking), and interesting towns and cities. Another thing I like is the Burlington area and north of there -- because there's a few places where you can take a ferry (with or without a car) across Lake Champlain to New York. The ride across the lake is pleasant on a sunny day.

Honestly not a lot of the US is not my bucket list haha. I never been west of the Mississippi and other than Hawaii, Texas, Colorado and the national parks, I really have no desire to.

Europe on the other hand is a different story. London and Bern are my top cities (well, anywhere really but those are my favorite) I would go to or live . If I got a offered a job, I'm on the next plane.
