Mike and Karen Online

We spend last weekend at Disney, a celebration of Karen’s birthday.  And my belated one since we kind of skipped over it in all the wedding prep stuff.  We stayed at Disney’s Pop Century this time.  Not the best experiance, there were just too many people there.  Too many people at the one spot to eat so we had to fight the crowd to get our breakfast from the ala cart setup and then hunt for a spot to eat.  Too many people waiting for the bus from Pop Century to the attractions so we either had to be at the front of the line or we ended up standing.  Too many people waiting on the bus to go from the attractions back to Pop Century.

We stayed Friday night and Saturday night, coming back home Sunday morning.  Friday night we spent wondering around Epcot.  Karen brought her new camera along and took a bunch of pictures as she tried to figure out all the settings.  We had some trouble finding a spot to eat, Mexico was all booked and Japan had the sit down meal place closed for renovations.  We ended up eating at the octoberfest buffet in Germany which was good for me, plenty of meat to eat!

Saturday we hung out around the resort most of the day.  We tried the pool but spent most of the time hudled under the eave at the bar as the rain came down.  I think we managed about five minutes of swim time at one point before the thunder started and the lifeguards chased us all off.   Saturday night we spent at Downtown Disney.  We ate at the House of Blues since we got there a bit early and all of the really nice sit down dinner spots weren’t serving dinner yet.  As the rain began to trickle down again we ducked into the movie theater and watched Tropic Thunder.  It was pretty good, definitely a laugh or too.

Back from the honeymoon, will get some pics and a trip report up once we decompress. In the meantime, here are some pictures that Moji and Jordan took.

OMG, I am a dumbass. I thought since we will be hanging around the pool after the wedding and being outside a lot on the honeymoon, I should get a little bit of sun. The plan was to mow the yard with my shirt off, about 20 minutes of sun. But there are three small trees in my yard and the branches are hanging a bit low and where in the way. So I stopped the mower, got out the branch cutters and cleaned up the lower branches. Well then my neighbor walked over and I haven’t talked to him since I was in the hospital so he got the full scoop. Then as I was mowing past the tomatoes, I decided I really, really needed to clean up all the dead leaves in there so the tomato hornworms don’t have anywhere to hide when I spray them.

Testing permalinks.  It didn’t seem to work with older posts, checking to see if it will work with a newer one.  May have issues with mod_security again.

okay lets try this
