We decided to try a steal coaster next, they are usually smoother and because there was probably another hour wait the Advil had time to work on our headaches. The Magnum XL-2000 was our next stop, wait

The funny thing about theme park food is that they really have no competition so the food and the service is just average at best. Warren and I were waiting for our Cheeseburger/Smiley Fry baskets while

I didn't really know who Taylor Swift was until the 2009 MTV Music Video Awards. She had a fun intro on the subway up into the streets in front of Radio City Music Hall and I decided to download that

Our first coaster for the day was Raptor, with a sign out front telling us the wait was one hour. The line was ridiculous, and unlike Disney and Universal there is no Fast Pass or single rider line. The

When we pulled in to the parking area we asked where the pet check was, and they sent us to Snoopy's Dog House. We didn't get to the park early enough to get one of the larger runs for the dogs but once

We woke up a little early to take the dogs for a walk. Warren was still sleeping when we snuck out of the tent so we quietly hooked up the dogs and walked to the bathrooms. The cool thing about this park

On the road we started telling Warren about Idiocracy, one of my favorite movies. Then Sandra had a great idea... Let's watch it! I had it on my iPod (and on my iPhone in case of emergency) so we plugged

I started back on my work while Sandra and Warren walked the dogs and went to McDonald's to get breakfast. This was supposed to be a slow week but the jobs just kept coming! I guess I can't complain,

Our family is a little smaller tonight, we lost Duke this morning to what we think was the damage from the liver cancer. Late last night he came over to lay next to me and watched each of us for a

OK, I know you guys are just dying to find out what these Bacon-Wrapped Cheese-Filled Jalapeños are all about. So let me just tell you how to make them yourself so you can see how awesome these things

We just wanted to make a quick post to tell everyone Merry Christmas, if you are lucky you got some snow from that big storm that came across the country. We got some rain out of it because it's hard

I heard this song on the radio last Tuesday right after we dropped Duke off at the vet. It now sticks out in my brain as my "I miss Duke" song. He is still doing okay - not eating yet. But we are feeding

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when their right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to

I know there is no way to explain how personable Duke is as a dog but if you ever met him you would understand that he isn't just a dog, there is much more to him and because he is sick right now I wanted

We've had a crazy 7 days and I wanted to update our blog readers on what is going on with Duke. We are not sure where it all started, but the week of Thanksgiving we saw a flea on Duke and gave both

Cute lip dub of Miley Cyrus' Party in the USA!

Everyone had gone to bed before me because I was staying up to get caught up on my work. Sandra was sleeping near the back screen door because that's where the cool air was coming in. I went to sleep

My friend MJ just told me about this "Improv Everywhere" tonight and I thought this Surprise Wedding Reception mission was SO cute! This couple had no idea what was in store for them after their courthouse

We pulled up to Ernie & Karen's house and unloaded the car. This was a chance for us to do some laundry as well so we started a load and got ready for bed. The house was very warm so along with finding

After breakfast (2nd breakfast) we sat around and talked while Sandra read her Aunt Karen's Memoirs and old photos were passed around. Then it came time for us to go, we were on our way to Chicago to
