Just a little more from Orlando...

It could be called Mmmmmythos. While dessert wasn't even the best part - it is the best looking. It might seem like faint praise considering the cafeteria-esque quality of most of the park eateries, but Mythos has been voted Best Theme Park Restaurant (worldwide I believe) five consecutive years and we're bettin' it'll soon be six.
Amy, Kim & Mike on Dr Doom's (No) Fear Fall...no really, it's them, but the zoomed version wouldn't save very well.
Recovering at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville - shortly after the volcano blew - which I'm guessing is why the camera was focused on Mike's glass rather than us. Of course, this was post margaritas so maybe we really were that blurry.

Well...in another 5 or 6 months I hope there will be another installment of Judy goes to Orlando to share with y'all...

Later!


More from the vacation trip...


Amy, Kim and yours truly in Hollywood. The makeup show in the Pantages Theater behind us was entertaining as always, especially Kim's contribution when she attempted to pull the knife from the star's chest and he scared the bejezus out of her.
You might want to think twice after asking Mike & Amy for directions...
Dodging rain brought my peeps - Mike, Kim & Amy - to the Caro-Suess-el


Yet another week flies by...





And Mardi Gras continues at Universal Studios in Orlando - if only my photography skills could convey the colors and fun of the evening parade. Then came two whole days at the parks...which I plan to share whenever I figure out how to add some more photos. Stay tuned...

And another 5 or 6 days just fly right on by...

kinda' like I feared would happen. Oh well, bygones...


Tuesday was road trip day. Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, The Yarn Harlot came to Charlotte (I've seen several poetical nods around the internets to the Harlot in Charlotte) to promote her new book and Lqisa and I went up to hear her talk and pick up a book or three. Everything I've read about her was right on the money! She's an engaging speaker, not only witty and droll but thoughtful too. And she's charming as well - makes time to speak to everyone getting books signed, takes a photo with everyone who asks, makes an appropriate fuss over the babies in attendance, takes some photos for her blog and then gets the names and appropriate links all matched up - and then actually posts to the blog without the traditional (at least it is around here) 5-7 day gap! If she comes to your town, go see her! Be sure to take your knitting, she especially likes to see first sock attempts (and FOs too) and while the whole rest of the crowd knits away the waiting time, you'll have something to do (unlike a certain couple of SC road trippers who showed up empty-handed).


The next countdown is on now for this weekend - only barely 1 day's work left and then we (Amy, Kim and I) hit the road for Orlando and until Tuesday next week it's all about margaritas, Mardi Gras (a little late) at Universal, margaritas, Universal rides and fun and - yep, you guessed it - more margaritas...

Later!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!


Battlestar Galactica is back! Well, almost, tonight at 10pm. I'm quite looking forward to it. Have you watched it? If not, I really think you don't know what you're missing...don't let the Sci Fi label keep you away. It's that and much more, a character driven, mythology building, social/political commentary, action packed science fiction super story. Lucky and Chris recommend it highly.

I figured this would happen





I'd forget to post day after day after day. And then (over)think about what to post. So, I'm gonna' go with a photo - only 10 days till my little vacation to Orlando!!!
