I was down in the Old Town this weekend and I figured I would stop and visit. They have 2 new attraction near the Skycoaster called the Extreme Bike and Screamtower. They are $3 each to ride. The concept with the bike is to pedal on the forward swing to get the momentum to get all the way around. Easier said than done. Enjoy the pics. We got about 3 full revolutions in about 3min. It was a lot of fun! It is very hard to pedal when you are hanging upside down! Up and Over!! The Upswing, time to pedal!!! Extreme Bike, Strap In

So my father in law is visiting from NJ on his annual trip. Usually we go to 3 or 4 baseball games, this year, we only got to one. We went to good ol Kissimmee to see the Houston Astro's play the Detroit Tigers. Our seats were located right behind home plate. Pretty awesome. We got there a bit late, top of the second, and we got up to walk around the top of the seventh. We left the game at the top of the 9th. At that time the score was 3-2 Tigers. One of the Detroit players hit a ball backwards out of the park into the parking lot, and we happened to snag it!! So we got ourselves a baseball too!! Final score of the game...5-2 Detroit. Hope you enjoy the pics. Astro's team bus. Not sure where they were headed next, but hopefully they won. Ahh the glory of playing the outfield! Hey Fat Beerman!!! This guy was about out of breath by the bottom of the 7th! The dirty Tigers dugout. They seem so thrilled I am taking this. Warming up, Astro's Style Great Day, Great Seats!! Who will win? A Great Day for Baseball

I am going to try and make a visit this weekend...I have always wanted to go...just to say I have been there...I see it being a 2hr-3hr visit at best...If I do manage to go...a TPR will follow of course

Welcome to Orlando Soren....You have gotten here during a nice dry spell..LOL... When do you start work? Well I hope you are enjoying yourself so far. Looking forward to your reports.

Have you been to Walmart too many times if you can identify the Walmart by the pictures?

I am trying to book my CP leg of my trip, and while I could stay at Breakers, I really dont have the need to leave midway through the day and dont like the idea of sleeping in a 100yr old hotel. I have found great rates on Holiday Holidome...but get mixed reviews...Anyone here provide any insight?

Yeah, the Walmart on 535 is a lot better, even though it does not carry Leann's favorite chip dip. It is closer to WDW and not nearly as crowded as the other one. There is also one US 27 also...just off of US 192 that is pretty easy to get to, I go there a lot. I believe there is a Super Target up the road on HWY 50 also

I think it looks cute Welcome to Florida Soren...You will love it here...And the weather here couldnt be better!!

Well I have Sirius...Cant say I have a complaint yet. I am a Stern fan. Cant stand O&A. I also enjoy Martha Stewart Channel and the music selection they offer. Currently one channel is doing Pink Floyd week in honor of David Gilmour's Birthday on Tuesday. I have no complaints.

Here is the article from my local paper, The Ledger I rode the Triple Hurricane almost EXACTLY one week after this accident occured. The ride op who was working was almost joking over this incident, saying that the kid was at fault not the park. Cypress Gardens does not need this

I sent you an email...

Poor Buddy needs a Belly Band...I just had to order one for my male pug who likes to whizz on everything in my house...It basically prevents him from peeing on anything

Those are 2 cute little bunnies!!! Is Buddy still Wizzing on the carpet?

One of the reasons why I like Cypress Gardens....just a nice break from the crowds of people and tourists. Actually plan to go on Saturday

Last night I had a nice large piece of steak cooked up nice on the grill...with some Roasted Garlic A1 Steak Sauce topper. Also added some Kraft Sponge Bob Mac&Cheese to go with it!! YUM!!!

I saw Scarface for the first time ever... Interesting..I give it a 7/10. Hubby seemed to enjoy it. Not really my kind of flick though. I enjoyed the Godfather series more.

I think we need a Soren packing for WDW Trip report... Let us view the chaos of preparing for the College program first hand.

With my coaster trips and theme park travel lifestyle, plus the fact I sleep late, kids just arent in the future for me. I will stick with my 4-legged variety of children

I plan to come to the Flower and Garden Festival and I will stop by and try to see you...I always enjoy your reports and have been enjoying reading about your upcoming trip to the states. It will be intersting to see it from your point of view.

Just saw this this morning while going through my news stories... Can Disney's luck get any worse...it just never seems to end.

Just actually finished a book called Marley and Me which I enjoyed a lot... I am now starting the Chronicles of Narnia.

Erik I cant believe you endured that NASTY!!!! cold at Universal yesterday...it came in quick too. I was at Universal Cineplex and also took a quick walk through IOA to kill some time before my movies, and the weather was just horrid. Did see something funny at IOA though and wish I had a camera. Was crossing the bridge from JP to LC, and looked in the water and there was a giant Spiderman in the water. The way it was laying there it looked like a dead body It was so funny, and so lifelike. I really wish I had a camera. Children must have been freaked out!..LOL. Thanks for the great P-TPR. I know I left Univeresal compund around 9pm, and it was pouring rain, and Universal was just letting out, so not sure if Hall and Oats even went on.

A Double Feature Movie weekend for me... Final Destination3: Ok, wrapped up the trilogy for me. Of the 3, this one was the weakest. I do want to ride the coaster seen in the beginning though. As a coaster rider, the opening scene was a bit tough, and a lesson as to why we dont bring loose articles on rides . Otherwise, a VERY GORY movie I must add. Keeps in tone with the others. Of the 3, I prefered 2 the best though. Husband kept saying all the actors were supposed to be in highschool, but looked like they were 30.. ..LOL. Also saw, When A Stranger Calls. I saw the original. It scared the CRAP out of me as I was a babysitter when I was "of age". I had really low expectations of this one. This movie was good. I really enjoyed it. Lots of little jumps..Every time that phone rang, I almost was freaked out all over again. Some dumbass in the theater had the EXACT ringtone of the phone in the movie, and her cell phone went off, and she didnt notice it was her phone at first. Solid movie though, and most of the theater goers werent even born for the for the first one!

Ok I didnt watch it...I DVR'd it though...so what happened...as I am sure I will read about it elsewhere...

Let me just say Coinstar is a good idea, but a HUGE ripoff.. Kudos to BankAtlantic for 1. Being open to midnight and 2. Offering it for free.
