Tuesday January 18 – We began the day at Sizzler’s breakfast buffet, again. If you are noticing a pattern, you won’t be surprised to see this in the diary for pretty much every day of the week. The prices there were great ($3.99 per adult and kids were free!), the food wasn’t bad, and it […]

Well, here we are only 2 months out from our last trip to Disney World, and I’m already wanting to go back. That’s nothing new, it’s an awesome place, but I’m also reading about many changes taking place. Ok, so I’m not exactly planning the next trip (step one would be how to fit our

Friday January 14 – We left our hometown about 4:40pm after loading the car, getting kids’ school stuff stashed for the week off, the gas tank filled up, and some snacks from the drive-thru for the kids. I noted the dashboard temp at 20°F. Around 8pm, we found a Goldstar Chili to stop at in

So, where did I leave off when I blogged about our kid-less day trip to King’s Island amusement park? I don’t remember; I got kind of side-tracked and have made a few unrelated blog posts since then… But no matter, I’ll just begin by rating the rides at King’s Island; my scale is 1-5 ♦’s,

Recently I came across an interesting article about everyone’s favorite comedians, the Muppets! I grew up watching the Muppets; whether it was on the various incarnations of their tv shows (The Muppet Show, Muppets Tonight, etc.), their feature films, Sesame Street, or even in their hilarious Muppets 3D attraction at Disney’s Hollywood (formerly MGM) Studios

It’s almost embarrassing to admit that I saw a movie called, “My Bloody Valentine 3D“. But the reason I’m writing a blog about it is because I actually liked it. A true slasher film; the grisly violence was excessive. But I actually didn’t find myself rolling my eyes at the constant gore fest, which is
