Teresa got the ball rolling in it.  The road trip started off on a good note.  &lt;br /&gt;The cheapest gas was $1.96/gallon.  That's AWESOME!  Becka and I drove to C-Bus and we carpooled it with Joe and Lisa &lt;br /&gt;to Cincinnati.  We tried to surprise Gary with Tom-Tom at the front door... only to find that Teresa opened the door and Gary &lt;br /&gt;was sleeping HAHAHAA.  He had tons of fun celebrating Gary and Teresa's BDays.  We played Boggle and other board&lt;br /&gt;games.  And what Seto gather doesn't have TONS of food.  We went to great tapas place for dinner.  I still haven't stopped &lt;br /&gt;thinking about the ox tail with foie gras.  Gary had to roll to Jacksonville Sunday afternoon, so we had to call it short after &lt;br /&gt;brunch.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We mad sure to stop off at the outlet mall on the way back home.  The Coach store was BANANAS!  There were soooooo &lt;br /&gt;many people.  Almost everything was 50% off.  The best deal were the polo shirts @ Aeropostale for 99 cents!?!?! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the fun and tasty pics&lt;br /&gt;-Garvin (^_^)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC05241" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/grybdysurprise_1.jpg" width="247" height="185"/&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC05228" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/grybdysurprise_2.jpg" width="247" height="185"/&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC05243" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/grybdysurprise_3.jpg" width="247" height="185"/&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC05235" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/grybdysurprise_4.jpg" width="247" height="185"/&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC05249" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/grybdysurprise_5.jpg" width="247" height="185"/&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC05251" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/grybdysurprise_6.jpg" width="247" height="185"/&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8661636135047062346-3655585368958462592?l=digidreamerz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=3655585368958462592' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8661636135047062346&amp;postID=3655585368958462592' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=3655585368958462592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=3655585368958462592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=3655585368958462592' title='Gary BDay Surprise!'/><author><name>Fam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12689536034356445880</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.loghound.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07115086970473454871'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661636135047062346.post-1538469734022069907</id><published>2008-10-29T17:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-31T18:40:41.209-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fam_News'/><title type='text'>Jay-Z Concert</title><content type='html'>Oh WOW!

Good Road trip.  A part of Becka's birthday present was that I surprised her with a mystery road trip.  It took her a bit &lt;br /&gt;to figure out where we were.  The present was to go to Washington DC and see the new Ocean Hall in the Smithsonian, &lt;br /&gt;that just opened a month ago.  The Smithsonian is my favorite thing about DC.  You can nerd out there and spend DAYS &lt;br /&gt;in each museum.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The running theme for the trip was "winging it", since it was hard to judge just how much time we would be spending at &lt;br /&gt;each place.  We left for DC on Friday around 10pm and rolled into the hotel around 4am-ish.  We spent pretty much the &lt;br /&gt;entire Saturday geeking around the Smithsonian Natural History Museum.  The newly added Ocean Hall was AMAZING.  &lt;br /&gt;They did a real good job with it.  We also made sure to check out the Hope Diamond too.  After they kicked us out of the &lt;br /&gt;Smithsonian, we hiked it to the Washington Monument and then the Lincoln Memorial.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In keeping with our theme, we walked back to the hotel looking for a good place to eat.  We found McCormick &amp; Schmick, &lt;br /&gt;which oddly enough was a place I was going to make a reservation for.  Dinner was great!  The food was super-tastey and &lt;br /&gt;we had an awesome waiter.  He was definitely not B-Team... in fact... not even A-Team... more like All-Star-Hall-of-Fame &lt;br /&gt;Team.  Later out waiter found outit was Becka's birthday and didn't charge us for dessert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday was fun too.  The day before, I had found out that twice a year the White House opens it's garden to the public.  &lt;br /&gt;After we got pass security we got to see all the trees that the presidents planted.  We made sure to grab some pics by the &lt;br /&gt;rose garden.  It was pretty cool to get sooo close to the White House.  After the garden tour, we zipped through a few more &lt;br /&gt;museums to check out there gift stores.  We made sure to shove off in the afternoon, so that we didn't get back too late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the way back home, we stopped off at a Prime Outlets, did some quick shopping, and grabbed some grub.  When we &lt;br /&gt;dropped Bill off in PA, his dad got the jump on us in a hairy-ghouly costume.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Birthday Becka!  Enjoy the pics.&lt;br /&gt;-Garvin (^_^)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s. Will definitely need to go back for the Cherry Blossom Festival.&lt;br /&gt;p.p.s. A special thanks goes out to Starbucks for keeping me awake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC04942" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/becksurprisebdydcrodtri_1.jpg" width="247" height="185"/&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC04852" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/becksurprisebdydcrodtri_2.jpg" width="247" height="185"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC04869_rotate" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/becksurprisebdydcrodtri_3.jpg" width="369" height="492"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8661636135047062346-5449261745237231232?l=digidreamerz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=5449261745237231232' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8661636135047062346&amp;postID=5449261745237231232' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=5449261745237231232'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=5449261745237231232'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=5449261745237231232' title='Becka Surprise BDay DC Road-Trip'/><author><name>Fam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12689536034356445880</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.loghound.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07115086970473454871'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661636135047062346.post-8389379699933853642</id><published>2008-10-16T17:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-20T17:44:47.381-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fam_News'/><title type='text'>Sweetest Day</title><content type='html'>I surprised Becka with a little Sweetest Day present while we were on out DC trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy&lt;br /&gt;-Garvin (^_^)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s.

I've been pretty swamped at work.  With the end of the year &lt;br /&gt;looming, we had to make our yearly trek.  I finally had a free weekend to do a quick road trip.... Sooooo Becka and I &lt;br /&gt;quickly booked it to Pittsburgh before something else came up.  It was a good road trip.  Only one hiccup... where 4 &lt;br /&gt;lanes got squeezed down to 1, which added 30 minutes to the trip.  Lucky, we left super-early.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The food of course was AWESOME!  Becka had ahi tuna sashimi style.  I had a jumbo tiger prawn, stuffed with lobster, &lt;br /&gt;and wrapped in bacon! Mmmmmmm!

You'll notice we&lt;br /&gt;did a lot of eating... which is another thing both Gary and I are good at too ;) lol.  Speaking about food throughout the&lt;br /&gt;outline, I'll tag items with "[FOOD]", seeing how it was a big theme this weekend.  Overall Gary and I got a small tasting of &lt;br /&gt;what London as to offer.  We hit all the big places pretty quickly.  Some of the places you could easily spend more than a &lt;br /&gt;day at. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy... or what they say in London CHEERS! &lt;br /&gt;-Garvin (^_^)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Friday/Saturday:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;We did a LOT of walking today.  We walk every where.  Gary and I bumped into each other in the immigration line.  Thank &lt;br /&gt;goodness... cause my cell phone didn't work there.  We did some the big touristy attractions.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;+ 8 hr flight flight.&lt;br /&gt;+ Met gary in the immigratin line and hit the ground running.&lt;br /&gt;+ Took the Gatwick Express to Victoria Station... kinda like Times Sq. Station in NYC, where you get get too a lot of trains.  &lt;br /&gt;	Lots of good food to be eaten there (Explained further below).&lt;br /&gt;+ Checked into St. George's Hotel.  A little hotel, but it served it's purposes.  One bed, one shower, and a tv... what more &lt;br /&gt;	can you ask for (notice I did not say air conditioning).&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] @ Cafe Panini.  I got a waffle with maple syrup and Gary got a panini sandwich. &lt;br /&gt;+ Buckingham Palace was nice.  We tried to stay for the "Changing of the Gaurd", but it got rained out.  There was a &lt;br /&gt;torrential downpour, and it seemed like Gary and I were the only ones that didn't bring and umbrella-el-la-el-al (Yeah &lt;br /&gt;	listening to Rihanna right now).  Getting rained on sure works up and appetite ;) (Oh man that was a good segue). &lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] While getting lost (Hey it happens when you wingin it... Especially in a country that you've never been in).  We &lt;br /&gt;	passed a sushi shop called Wasabi.  We each picked up a rice triangle snack with spicy chicken.  Mmmm these are the &lt;br /&gt;	same ones that I hoard up on when I go in Japan for Codonics.&lt;br /&gt;+ V and A (Victoria and Albert) Museum: In short it's like of the Smithsonian, but with TONS of ART.  The place was very &lt;br /&gt;	cool and free.  You can easily spend more than a full day there, just looking at the pieces that you wanted to see.&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] The cafeteria to the V and A, was equally spectacular.  We had Honey salmon, chips and coke.  Sidenote: Looks &lt;br /&gt;	like Coka-Cola owns all of London.&lt;br /&gt;+ Harrods was Nordstroms, but for very very rich people.  OMG!  All the super name brands that you read about (for those &lt;br /&gt;	who read fashion mags) are all out and displayed like in a regular mall.  We saw A pair of socks that was $30 (US).&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] Of course rich people get hungry too.  They had a AMAZING food market.  Typically, travel books will show the &lt;br /&gt;	market, because it's so lavish. Gary and I bought some tastey food curry samosas, and a duck srping roll.  Sidenote: &lt;br /&gt;	Need to tell Dad about our findings. Mmmm-Good.&lt;br /&gt;+ Walked to Hyde Park: Saw the Princess Dian Memorial fountain.  The fountain was cool.  It was a circular ring of water that &lt;br /&gt;	flowed down hill.&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] Apple juice and OJ was needed from all the walking... looking back at it we should have prolly had water as well.&lt;br /&gt;+ Big Ben: Not much, but a large clock tower.  We heard it chime.&lt;br /&gt;+ British Airways Millennium Eye: loooooong line for it, so we fast passed it (Disney-style). And by fast pass, I mean we &lt;br /&gt;	paid double to jump the line.  Paying twice as much for everything became an obvious for the week.  Some part was &lt;br /&gt;	due to the fact the US dollar is getting its butt kicked.&lt;br /&gt;+ McDonald's has fish sticks here oooooooo.&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] The Pasty Shop: After much searching for din din , we settled for some meat pies around Victoria Station.  They &lt;br /&gt;	were extra tasty.  &lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] Still a bit hungry after our gigantic meat pies, we went to Wasabi in Victoria Station to get individually wrapped sushi.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hit the markets today.  We saw a lot of cool stuff and did a lot of shopping. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] B-fast of champs Latte with a croissant.&lt;br /&gt;+ Spitalfields Market and other un-named-shady markets:  On our way to Spitalfields Market, we ran into another market.  &lt;br /&gt;	This had a lot of cheap knock off stuff.  Did some good souvenir shopping there ;)  Once we got to Spitalfailds, we saw a &lt;br /&gt;	lot of cools stuff.  It was exactly how our books described it.  It is an open Market with a lot of designers selling one of a &lt;br /&gt;	kind kick-nacks and wheres.  &lt;br /&gt;+ Bricklane and even more of a shadier market: Right after Spatalfields we went to Bricklane, which was know for all their &lt;br /&gt;	street vendors.  The shady part comes from when we went towards the end it became obvious that these people were &lt;br /&gt;	selling stolen stuff, for example, a guy was not only selling a suit case and clothes, but even the shampoo and soap. &lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] Canteen:  A high recommended place from our books, and now we know why.  The food was fresh and really &lt;br /&gt;	really good.  We had roast duck, and fish and chips and roast duck.&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] BIG meat on a stick.  On our way to one of the markets, we saw a long (4.5 feet) skewer that was roasting a hug &lt;br /&gt;	pig.  When I took a picture of the of it, they gave us a sampler for our interest.&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] Kansars Indian Food: We had to have curry, considering that Lodon is known to have a huge Indian population. &lt;br /&gt;	We ate curry chicken, curry samosas, garlic nan and rice.  Of course it was good.&lt;br /&gt;+ Tower of London: We did a quick walk around.  I like the Traitor's Gate.  Next time we might go inside of it ;)&lt;br /&gt;+ Tower Bridge: What we see in more London postcards.&lt;br /&gt;+ London Bridge: not as cool as the Tower Bridge, as Gary called it "Disappointment #2".  Sidenote: Disappointment #1 &lt;br /&gt;	was something that happened when he was on business.&lt;br /&gt;+ Chinatown: More shopping of course.  There is a lot of food to be eaten there. Chinatown is right smack in the middle of &lt;br /&gt;	London's theater district.  We ended up finding  a multi-story arcade..... of course in Chinatown ;)  Got played to Mario cart.  &lt;br /&gt;	We found a Royal Dragon in London.  Sidenote: Royal Dragon was the name of one our parents restaurants.&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] Random Chinese restaurant (sorry don't remember the name):  We had shark fin soup with crab meat, peking &lt;br /&gt;	duck, sweet and sour sour ribs (which Gary ordered in Chinese... insta-street-cred), and  fried eel with  chili and salt.  Yum!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;+ [FOOD] Starbucks b-fast.  We had a lot of writing ahead of us.   &lt;br /&gt;+ Post Office:  We sent over 20 postcards.  The ones that I wrote are prolly ALL illegible.&lt;br /&gt;+ Tate Museum:  Was interesting...  Gary and I started at the wrong exhibit.  Instead of working up to the weird-borderline-&lt;br /&gt;	masochistic stuff we walked right into the hardcore stuff.  I've seen some hard stuff before, but that stuff took the cake.  Of &lt;br /&gt;	course, Gary and I ran outta that exhibit real quick.  The other exhibits were really cool.  The had some pieces that I've only &lt;br /&gt;	seen in books before.  &lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] Vanilla and honey smoothe&lt;br /&gt;+ St. Paul Cathedral: Very decked out.  Did a quick walk by for it.&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] Moshi Moshi Sushi: This was a conveyor-belt sushi joint.  Seeing how Gary and I missed a conveyor-belt place in &lt;br /&gt;	Japan, We had to do it.  It was fun collecting up all the dishes.&lt;br /&gt;+ Comic book store: What do nerds do on vacation... you guessed it go to the comic book store.  lol.  We ran into it on &lt;br /&gt;	accident on the way to the British Museum.  The good thing was they had a comic that I've been trying to find for the pass 2 &lt;br /&gt;	months.  Yay London.&lt;br /&gt;+ British Museum: The building was cool but very confusing.  It's easy to get lost in the building.  Gary and I hit some of the &lt;br /&gt;	bigger highlights, like the Rosetta Stone.&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD]: Water and chocolate mousse.  &lt;br /&gt;+ Hamleys:  It's a huge toy store, much like FAO Shwartz in NYC.  &lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD]: Went to McDonald's to plan our next move, so we had a cheese burger and an apple pie.  Apparently in Europe, &lt;br /&gt;	McDonald's deep fries their apple pies.  This makes it more crispity and tasty, than what we do in the STATES.&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD]: Dog and Duck: We had to hit up a pub while in London.  This was on a list of top 10 pubs to visit.&lt;br /&gt;+ Now what do 2 Chinese kids do after a pub... you guessed it back to the huge arcade in China town to lay down some &lt;br /&gt;	records on machines.  We played some super-fun arcade games.  There's one where you need to pound on the screen with &lt;br /&gt;	a hammer.... great stress reliever.  In the hammer game, we got some #1 rankings in some of the sub-games.  Over all we &lt;br /&gt;	got 2nd place.&lt;br /&gt;+ Crystal Rooms: Not done with spending money we hit the casino... conveniently located very close to Chinatown.&lt;br /&gt;+ [FOOD] Pig's Ear:  Yet another pub, but with really really good food.  The book recommends reservations.  We came late, &lt;br /&gt;	but luckily they gave us a table.  Gary had Beef belly salad, and the rib eye.  I had a spicy crab salad, and pork tenderloin.  &lt;br /&gt;	For desert, we had some ice cream.  Should have took more pics, but it was too dark and I didn't want the flash to be going &lt;br /&gt;	off.  Oh well, next time.&lt;br /&gt;+ Pack like crazy and try to get 4-5 hours of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuesday: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Woke up at 6am (London-time... which was 1am EST).  Checked out super quickly and headed for the Gatwick Express.  &lt;br /&gt;Gary's Delta line was nuts.  Didn't know that Delta was huge in London.  Luckily for Gary he's a Silver/Maroon member, so &lt;br /&gt;he got to check in the business elite section.  If Gary didn't he would have come close to missing his flight.  My check in was &lt;br /&gt;super easy.  They even made it super easy for me cause I was flying business class.  We ate at a place called "Eat.".  We &lt;br /&gt;had English muffins stuffed with scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage.  After I walked Gary to his gate, I headed off to my &lt;br /&gt;gate.  Of course they had to search me.  I felt a bit bad for the guy, cause my bag was super messy.  I must have had +10 &lt;br /&gt;cables  crammed in my rolly bag.  I did get to board first because of business class, which was nice.  It was nice to have &lt;br /&gt;enough leg room to stretch out.  The next to me was free, so I sprawled my tech across to first class seats.  The food was &lt;br /&gt;good.  I made sure to take pics of the menu.  They even had a dessert sunday. Mmmmm.  'm working on this blog as I fly &lt;br /&gt;back to Cleveland.  It'll be interesting to see if I can make my 3 o'clock meeting.  Yes, I'm going in to work today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC03157" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/bcktothesttes_1.jpg" width="492" height="369"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC03248" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/bcktothesttes_2.jpg" width="492" height="369"/&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8661636135047062346-9149953449870606220?l=digidreamerz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=9149953449870606220' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8661636135047062346&amp;postID=9149953449870606220' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=9149953449870606220'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=9149953449870606220'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=9149953449870606220' title='Back to the STATES'/><author><name>Fam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12689536034356445880</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.loghound.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07115086970473454871'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661636135047062346.post-843579673968458784</id><published>2008-07-12T10:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-23T03:35:05.442-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Seto Bros Invade London</title><content type='html'>Off I go.

It was great just relaxing and running around like a big kid.  If I blogged about &lt;br /&gt;everything we did I wouldn't be able to update the site in a timely manner, sooo below is a quick summary of each day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vacation Summary:&lt;br /&gt;=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sat:&lt;/strong&gt; Woke up super-early to catch our flight.  After we landed, we hit the town and went shopping for supplies (juice, cereal,&lt;br /&gt;sun block, ...).  We chilled the night away at Downtown Disney, while Teresa and Gary went to a wedding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sun: &lt;/strong&gt;Went to Animal Kingdom.  They actually added a lot of stuff there.  You could spend an entire day there now.  The big &lt;br /&gt;things were, the Nemo Musical, Ants 4-d movie, and Everest.  Boma was pretty good, for a buffet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mon:&lt;/strong&gt; Monday was super-fun.  Epcot is my favorite park.  you can nerd out there.  We got our own dinners from around the &lt;br /&gt;world.  Never had enough time to hit everything.  The fireworks show was good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tues: &lt;/strong&gt;Free-day #001  We all opted to visit Coco Beach to chill out.  Teresa, Gary, Becka, and I signed up for some surfing &lt;br /&gt;lessons from Ron Jon's.  In the process, we lost my new Garvin-Proof camera to the ocean.  R.I.P. new digi-cam.  The kick &lt;br /&gt;in the pants was that I didn't even pull off the pics yet... soo we're missing pics from Sat. to Tues. :( oh well that's life.  Teresa &lt;br /&gt;and Gary left early to go swimming with dolphins.  While we stayed later and Leah met up with a friend.  We met up to hit the &lt;br /&gt;clubs at Downtown Disney.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wed:&lt;/strong&gt; Free-day #002  We decided to try to knock somethings off at Magic Kingdom on out second free day.  We didn't think &lt;br /&gt;we could finish off everything in just one day.  We left early to go get dressed up for our fancy din-din at the Contemporary &lt;br /&gt;hotel.  The hotel was amazing.  They even had a balcony were people could see the fireworks.  They even took it a step &lt;br /&gt;further and synced the music from the park and played it in the restaurant.  The food was very very TASTEY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thurs: &lt;/strong&gt;Thursday was the marathon day.  Funny-side story... I won a Disney Magic Moment Trivia certificate for answering a &lt;br /&gt;question in a gift store.  Jenna helped out by mentioned something about the pig in Toy Story being called ham.  The &lt;br /&gt;challenge was they girl asked me for his full name.. and I luckily guessed HAMptom.  We were hopping that I had won a &lt;br /&gt;DREAM, but no.  I'll explain the DREAM later. We finished Magic kingdom in the afternoon and headed to Epcot for dinner.  &lt;br /&gt;The fish and chips from England were Super-Tastey.  We headed back to Magic to catch the special July 4th fireworks and &lt;br /&gt;the Light show parade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fri:&lt;/strong&gt; Happy Independence Day!  4th of July... Hollywood Studios (AKA MGM Studios) was crazy.  There was a new ride, Toy &lt;br /&gt;Story Mania, that ALL the fast passes were sold out before noon and the line to wait was longer than 90 minutes.  The new &lt;br /&gt;ride just opened 3 weeks ago.  The new show "Lights, Motors, Action", was awesome.  Matt said they burn through a set of &lt;br /&gt;tires in 2 shows and they have special custom cars with 4 gears for reverse for some of their stunts.  We still had tons of fun.  &lt;br /&gt;The animation studio was great.  We did it twice in a row.  FINALLY WON A DREAM!  What is a DREAM you may ask... well &lt;br /&gt;Disney is running a sweepstakes called "A Year of a Million Dreams", where they giveaway a million random prizes &lt;br /&gt;throughout the year.  We've been watching people win DREAMS all week.  They range from cruises to fast passes.  It was &lt;br /&gt;our goal the entire week to win a dream.  We had no suck luck the entire week.  As we cut across Hollywood Studios talking &lt;br /&gt;about where it would be best to watch the fireworks, I noticed a a couple Disney workers were walking our direction so I said &lt;br /&gt;really loudly "I wish we could ask someone about that."  Of course, they bit and wanted to help out.  Not only did they help&lt;br /&gt; out, but GAVE us a DREAM by giving us a hand full of fast passes to the Rockin' Roller Coaster.  Wahoo we got to check &lt;br /&gt;that off our list.  It wasn't a cruise or a shopping extravaganza, but we still got a DREAM.  After using our DREAM we noticed &lt;br /&gt;that people were camping out 3 hours in advance for the Fantasmic show.  There were people sleeping at the gates ot the &lt;br /&gt;theater.  We had decided to camp out between the main street and the theater.  The Independence Day fireworks were the &lt;br /&gt;best fire works that I've seen.  WOW!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sat:&lt;/strong&gt; We were Super-fortunate to be able to cross almost everything off out list even the DREAM, except for riding the Toy &lt;br /&gt;Story Mania ride :(  All the guys woke up early to go stand in line before Hollywood Studios to opened.  This would &lt;br /&gt;guaranteed us a spot to ride/play Toy Story Mania.  We showed up almost an hour early and there were people already &lt;br /&gt;there.  Apparently we weren't the only ones with that plan. There were a few people in the very front waiting to sprint to Toy &lt;br /&gt;Story Mania.  The ride was AMAZING!  It was a mix between, a 4-d movie, and an arcade shooter.  We played it and &lt;br /&gt;busted out.  When we left the ride, the queue was already full... OMG!   We had din din at the airport and said our good &lt;br /&gt;byes. Adios Disney (Y_Y)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy ALL the pics. At last count there are over 600 pics.  Can't wait for next time.&lt;br /&gt;-Garvin (^_^)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC02769" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/bckfromdisney_1.jpg" width="492" height="369"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC02824" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/bckfromdisney_2.jpg" width="491" height="655"/&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8661636135047062346-2141688645954485950?l=digidreamerz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=2141688645954485950' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8661636135047062346&amp;postID=2141688645954485950' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=2141688645954485950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=2141688645954485950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=2141688645954485950' title='Back from Disney'/><author><name>Fam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12689536034356445880</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.loghound.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07115086970473454871'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661636135047062346.post-6981635963681078848</id><published>2008-06-26T17:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-06T21:25:37.195-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Site_News'/><title type='text'>New Album</title><content type='html'>"Jenna Visit Misc" Album has been added to "June".

While Jenna and Becka were upstairs playing a game, Bill and I decorated &lt;br /&gt;downstair, per our dastardly plan.  As soon as Alicia got to the house, we surprised Jenna and shoved off to Long John &lt;br /&gt;Silver's.  Once we stuffed our faces with deep-fried-goodness, it was time for cake and presents!  Since I had finished all &lt;br /&gt;my work for the weekend on Saturday morning, we could take an impromptu trip to Hershey World.  Yes... we would spend &lt;br /&gt;more time driving than in Hershey, but why not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hershey was AMAZING.  The drive was around 5 hours and 30 minutes.  Chocolate was in the air and the lamp posts had &lt;br /&gt;kisses on them.  We did the tour and a chocolate taste testing.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Birthday Jenna!&lt;br /&gt;-Garvin (^_^)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC02321" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/hppybirthdyjenn_1.jpg" width="247" height="185"/&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC02433" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/hppybirthdyjenn_2.jpg" width="247" height="185"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img class="imageStyle" alt="DSC02514" src="http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/files/hppybirthdyjenn_3.jpg" width="492" height="369"/&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8661636135047062346-65009868874293586?l=digidreamerz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=65009868874293586' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8661636135047062346&amp;postID=65009868874293586' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=65009868874293586'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=65009868874293586'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.digidreamerz.com/page171/page171.php?id=65009868874293586' title='Happy Birthday Jenna!'/><author><name>Fam</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12689536034356445880</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.loghound.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07115086970473454871'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
