It was a nice day to visit the park. I got some great pictures and video. I got to the park early and they let a group of us park in the preferred parking, did not have to ride the tram in. While waiting in line for the gates to open they announced something new to me called QUICK QUEUE.  …

We got into Tampa about ten minutes early. My sister and brother-n-law were there to pick us up. We claimed our luggage and homeward we were:))

There is really no good reason why I'm still awake, except that, if you can even believe it -- my sleeping patterns have gotten worse. It's pitiful really, but I actually get paid a good chunck of money and I get to sleep late Monday - Friday. Fairly late on Saturday and Sunday too, actually. I thi…

Good morning, We have been planning this trip since June of this year. I thought we would be in the clear from any hurricanes this time of the year. Paloma has raised her ugly head in the south caribbean on the Cayman Islands. The outer bands of the hurricane will be affecting the Keys.&n…

Ashley, (ashsmash) had a birthday on July 31th and I looked at her profile photo and thought, I could give her a gift by changing her shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes and I hope she is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a photo…
