We left the panhandle this morning, bidding farewell to family, not looking forward to 8 hours in the car driving back to Tampa. We figured my daughter would need to burn off some energy before being stuck in the backseat for that long, so instead of going directly to I-10, we took US-98 along the gulf coast to …
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We had Thanksgiving dinner with family at the Eglin Air Force Base Officer’s Club, which was great. We’ll probably do a little shopping tomorrow over in the Destin area and then Saturday morning we hit the road for home.
We’re on our way to north Florida to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with family, but today we swung through Orlando to spend a quick day at Disney. We needed to renew our annual passes that we had purchased last November anyway in order to get the extra three months for free. Now we’re set through …
This morning we checked out of our hotel and then headed to the Holiday Inn next door to have breakfast with the happy new couple and the other wedding guests. We bade farewell to family and friends and then it was off to the airport for our flights back home. We were slightly delayed leaving …
I’m flying home to Ohio today for my brother’s wedding on Saturday. Right now I’m in the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (CLT) waiting for my connection to Cleveland. It’s been a long time since I’ve flown through Charlotte, so I had forgotten what a nice airport it is: rocking chairs, free WiFi, a nice center food …
This morning we ate breakfast over at the Contemporary and then headed out to enjoy some of the pools at the resorts. My daughter and I swam in the pool at the Contemporary for a bit while we waited for the water slide to open at 10am. Once the lifeguards arrived and the slide was …
This weekend is Labor Day Weekend, so it’s time for our annual mini (or should that be “Minnie?”) family vacation at Walt Disney World. We drove over this afternoon after picking my daughter up from school and hit no traffic going through downtown Tampa or across to Orlando on I-4, which got us to our …
A couple of weeks ago, I discovered that my trusty Garmin StreetPilot c340 wouldn’t run on battery power anymore. As soon as it was disconnected from the power cable in the car (or from the USB cable when connected to my PC) it would just turn off. When plugged in, the screen would show it …
It was Beach Week at Progessive Field, which turned out to be a little ironic since the temperature at game time Saturday night was in the low 60s and the wind blowing in from Lake Erie was downright chilly. Thank goodness the rain held off! Despite that, and the Indians’ 3-1 loss to the Mariners, …
I’m waiting in the Tampa airport for my flight to Cleveland this weekend for my little brother’s wedding shower and bachelor party. We’re going to see the Indians and Mariners baseball game tomorrow night. I can’t remember the last time I went to a game at Jacob’s, er, Progressive Field. I don’t think I’ve been …
