I Just Had to Watch Glee Last Night

Monday Night - Feb 7th

So very tired. I blame Glee. Or I guess I could blame the Super Bowl. Without the Super Bowl, it would have been a normal Sunday night. But because of the Super Bowl, Glee was on. Late. Apparently, FOX did not get the memo that I had to get up at 4a to get ready for the day. And I couldn't NOT watch Glee. That's almost un-American. So I did. I watched. I loved. Then I tried desperately to sleep. I don't know about other people, but when you try desperately to sleep, you never will. Ever. So I didn't. Or at least not well.

My biggest concern was getting to the office in the morning. A big suitcase. A crowded train. Snowy streets. These aren't things that go well together. So I tried to take a super early train in the hopes it wouldn't be as crowded. And it wasn't!! Yay!! I also decided that walking the 1.5 miles to the office with rolling luggage was not the best choice. Cab Time!!

The day itself was non-eventful. Just counting down until I was ready to hit the road. Sure, I probably left the office a little early. I probably didn't have to check my luggage. But there are 45 minutes left before boarding. I feel more relaxed than I have been in a while and I don't care. Sigh...vacation...Florida...warmth...sun...Sigh...

Nun Cookies of Madrid

Image
September 1st, 2015 Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a religious person.  I'm not going to crap all over anyone's religion, because to each their own.  It's just something that for me is not a thing.  But there was something in Madrid that caught my eye from the beginning. Nun Cookies. So picture this, cloistered Nuns bake cookies and people buy them.  But you don't actually see the Nuns.  You hit a button on a random door and hope they let you in.  Then, you buy the cookies by saying which one you want (or getting the ones you are given) and pay by way of a Lazy Susan. Something about this whole thing intrigued me from the start.  We knew this was on our list. We tried in the morning to find the cookies.  Directions are a bit sketchy, but the actual address is Calle del Codo 3.  Once you find the Mercado de San Miguel (that is a story for another day...when I get the time to write it up), walk on the street running parallel to the rig...

The Epic Summer Road Trip - Dorney Park and a British Pub: Day 4

Image
Wednesday, July 8th It is well known that Elias and I are amusement park people.  We may not go on the super thrilling rides, but we like going on twirly rides and eating all of the funnel cake.  So when we were planning out our trip in Philadelphia, we knew we'd have to make a visit to Dorney Park. Dorney Park is located just outside of Allentown, PA, less than an hour from Philadelphia.  It opened in the late 1800's when Solomon Dorney would fish for trout on his property.  Trout was abundant on his property, so he began selling his catch to people who were passing through.  As the years went on, people would come from far and wide to buy Dorney's trout and make a day of it.  Dorney began updating his property to give visitors something else to do.  By the 1880's, Dorney's park had added a small zoo, mechanical rides, and a park.  I don't know if it was the first amusement park, but it had to be one of them. We left Philadelphia a l...

A Mighty Big Deal in Panama - The Panama Canal

Image
Friday, June 2nd "Are you going to the canal??" That was the first question anyone asked when we announced we were going to Panama.  It makes sense, really.  Panama is really known for the canal. Except for me.  I knew the Panama Canal was a thing .  But I didn't entirely understand what kind of a thing it actually was. The day before our cruise, we spent a day in Panama City.  It rained and we honestly didn't get a full feel for the city.  As much as I will say we can have a great day despite the rain, it's always a lie.  Rain changes everything and makes you hate the world.  But you put on a brave face as long as you can and you try to duck into buildings and take long lunches to wait out mother nature. You might also have to wear a poncho. We ducked out of the rain and into the Panama Canal Museum in the Old Town district of San Felipe of Panama City.  Adele and I had scoped this out a few days earlier as we Ubered it to m...
