The World of Darth C
« on: August 03, 2008, 07:42:09 AM »
Well, yesterday was a packed busy day.  Dropped the kids off at my parents for the night, pick them up later this morning.  So Barb and I had a busy day yesterday by ourselves, you need that every once in awhile.  Started off going to the Star Wars exhibit in St Paul.  That was alot of fun, really wasn't what I thought it was going to be, but did get to see alot of props, costumes and models for the movies.  Left there and hit a bunch of targets looking for closeout toys, found an rebel pilot evol set, so I picked that up.  Went out to lunch and were palnning on seeing Mama Mia, great chick flick, but our 2 free tickets we had weren't valid on Saturdays.  Cancelled that, went home worked on my dio and did some cleaning.  At around 4pm went to our favorite restuarant and dinner and then headed over to another movie theater to is Batman in imax, well got there to buy our 7pm tickets ans she said they sold out about an our ago, so we didn't want to wait for the 11pm show, so we just went to walmart and brought groceries for home and camping next weekend.  Worked on the dio and finsihed it last night, pics are posted in the thread.  Watched a disney trip planning dvd, we are hoping to go sometime early next spring and finally went to bed around midnight.

Buddy, you have got to squeeze in the Universal parks and Tamer won't forgive you if you don't go to Disney MGM to see the big walker outside of Star Tours.

MGM is a disney park but not on the same grounds as the magic kingdom. If you get a park hopper pass, It will allow you to go to Animal Kingdom, MGM, the Magic kingdom, and the Disney city walk which is a boardwalk waterfront bar hopping type of place. Star Tours is just one of the cooler attractions in MGM and happens to have a life-sizeish AT-AT walker mocked up in front of it.
  The universals are a competing set of parks that you must also go see. there is Universal studios Hollywood and Universal's islands of adventure. I am sure that there is a ticket deal that will allow you to go back and forth to both of those parks, also.

I will have to dig around and find a pic of that walker. Tamer, when you see it, you will swear that you need one in your yard. The chin guns on this thing reciprocate and shoot out smoke like mist while the chin gun sound effect is played.

Well today I was in the shop skinning birds.  My plan was to get 2 pheasants, 1 grouse and 2 wood duck done today.  Got the 2 pheasants done, went to work on the other 3 and they were bad.  What had happened was I had them in the freezerrefrig in the garage last winter and I guess when its cold out they basically stop working, well to birds spoiled and feathers were falling out, so no point going on with them.  Went to the travel agent to start the process of figuring out our disney trip, its not going to be cheap that's for sure.  Spent the afternoon cleaning out our storage area in the basement, getting rid of stuff and reorganizing.  Did make some head way there.  Now my day off is coming to an end as I got to go pick up the girls from daycare.

three years ago, My trip with the wife and myself cost roughly $1200 for 4-5 days including air fare, tickets to the disneys and the universals, and hotel. the hotel provided transportation to and from the parks and to and from the airport. I would bet that it's more now.
