since nate and i get the benefits of being cast members, we never feel pressured to get our 'money's worth' out of the parks. if we're tired- we go home! if we're hungry- we leave, and eat! but today we headed out to universal studios, our first time paying to head to a theme park in orlando since we've moved here. it was fun :) but nate definitely turned into the 'superdad' variety that paid to get in and now wants to make sure we eek every experience we can :) he packed his cargo pants with granola bars and every time i whined that i was getting hungry, he handed me a granola bar and told me to buck up - lots to do before the parks close at 6! he finally let me have a hot dog around 3 pm- whew!
:) our favorite ride? (we had the same favorite) the first one we rode, the hulk, at islands of adventure! it was awesome :) full on rollercoaster fun and a whole lot of screaming loops. we also really liked the mummy (dark themed rollercoaster) and the simpsons (brand new vitrual fun).
and now? i'm home, collapsed on the couch- that was a whole lot of walking and a really long day for just being 9 to 5! we had some kraut burgers and settled in to watch the penn state game (key feature for me? the couch!).
oh... kraut burgers? one of the weirdest things i make for dinner, recipe courtesy of my mother. i'll post that recipe sometime soon- it's not too complicated ;)

Based on our experience with you two as guides in the evening tour-du-epcot, I can picture Nate making sure you take it all in. We've enjoyed seeing Nate on his work travels, but it's not the same without you around as well.
ha- perfect! and he thought no one would believe me :)
i'm sad to have missed out on all the visits, but i get to live vicariously through all the stories (particularly about malayna!)
dude, i think that recipe actually stems from mr. shultz... get your facts straight damnit!
bri-you're not alone with your amusement park boot camp blues. when we went to universal some years ago, kim was lucky she got a bathroom break! :)
btw, my favorite ride was hulk, too. could be the best i've been on.
So, how about that Shultz, mom's, whoever thought it up, crazy recipe. I'm a little scared, but always willing to try friends recipes.
