Wednesday 29th July
Today we decided a day off from Baggage’s schooling is in order so we treated her to a visit to Disneyquest in Downtown Disney, we got there at about 11am and stayed in there until just after 6pm. Disneyquest is a computer game based indoor theme park, we managed to try out most of the games on offer, plus Baggage did the drawing classes where she learnt how to draw various Disney characters.
The photo shows Baggage and Lisa as paddles in a life sized pin ball game, they had to rock their ducks to move the pucks on a large video screen to strike the ball and win points. On one of the games Baggage actually won, though was not sure how she managed it.
On the way home we got ourselves a McDonald’s drive through, it was far too late to worry about what to cook for dinner.
Thursday 30th July
Today we really did not do much, all that computer gaming yesterday has tired us out. I did read quite a bit, am getting near to the end of my book now. Some more beer to add to the records also: Killian’s Irish Red, Lienenliugel’s Berry Weiss, Yuengling Black and Tan. The Irish Red is very good, as with the Sam Adams it is best drunk at room temperature. The Berry Weiss is very refreshing when drunk in the hot tub at the end of a long day, best served very cold. The Black and Tan is also best served cold and goes well with a few peanuts and a good television program. Tonight we all watched Adam Sandler in 50 First Dates, Lisa and I had seen it before but as it was filmed in places we visited whilst on Hawaii we wanted to watch it again out of curiosity.
Friday 31st July
Today we watched STS-127 Endeavour land (on the TV), unfortunately the approach was up to KSC from the South, sometimes when coming in to land they do so over Orlando, but not this time.
After it was down we headed up to the Orange County Convention Centre to a craft show, we did not really know what to expect, though it might be a few stalls and we may be in there for a couple of hours. We were in there from noon until it closed at 6pm. It was a fairly large hall and whilst there were stalls you could buy things at the vast majority of the show was given over to ‘Make and Take’, you could try out crafts and take your creations home, all for free. We tried out loads: painting, earring making, Photo Pearls, Christmas Decorations, Scrap booking, Cookie decoration (and eating), Duck Tape Wallet making, mini chalk board decoration. We also got loads of other free stuff to take home, I reckon between us we got well over $150 worth of stuff, all for free. It was so good that Baggage and Lisa have decided to go back again tomorrow.
For dinner we grabbed a Chinese take away.
