DH did the Goofy at WDW Marathon Weekend for the first time this year. He had decided to do his half marathon at his usual pace but to take his time on the marathon course. (We had a good friend, too, who was doing her first Goofy–and her first marathon! …
I did quite a bit of gaming in the time between returning from our pre-Christmas cruise and now. I’d received several games from my wish list for the holidays. I figured I’d share my thoughts on the titles I’ve been playing lately. Fallout: New Vegas – It’s really an expansion …
DH and I rounded up a group of our friends to join us for a mega WDW Wine & Dine group trip. DH and T* ran the Wine & Dine half-marathon, while Moo, B*, BAD, and I enjoyed the Wine & Dine festival race party. We also toured WDW in …

About three weeks before graduation, I was stressing. I had family coming from all over the place. I’d had to change the menu for my graduation picnic twice. The weather alternated between predictions of thunderstorms all weekend to predictions of blistering heat. Work was frantic, and some of the people …
This past Thursday, 24 Feb 2011, we went on the Wild Africa Trek tour at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We’ve never done any of the Disney tours, but we had heard really good things about the Wild Africa Trek on AllEars.net and on our podcasts. As soon as I heard about …
