Vacay

Stick a fork in me. Five days of theme parks...three at Disney, two at Universal. Harry Potter, Spiderman, Minnie and Mickey Mouse, the Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 and Thing 2, Goofy, Daffy Duck, Millificent (she was creepy witch cool), Captain America, Buckbeak the Hippogriff, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Hulk. If I made a list of the top ten ideal vacations I could take, this one might not have cracked it (save Hogwarts, probably). But as a testament to open-mindedness and to a theory my friend Stacey calls "putting your cruise ship face on", I had way more fun than I ever thought I would have and wouldn't have missed it for anything. More stories to come later, I'm sure...but for now, it's late, I have a crazy early pick-up for the airport, and frankly, I'm just tired. Moral of the story: be open to new locations and experiences that might not be an obvious choice for you, always keep your cruise ship face on, and whatever you do, do not misplace your express pass for the rides.
