OK, you two love birds. Next year you need to come to Richmond and see Maymont -- I recommend May or April if we have a warm spring. It's a Victorian estate that was left to the city to be a park, and many of the gardens are preserved as they were a century ago. Also, there's a barn area (because the Dooleys had a working dairy farm on their property) so if you come in April or May, you can see baby pygmy goats and other, equally adorable small creatures. (Ash will probably be one of them.)

We do also have a few nice restaurants and places to dance. Just a suggestion!

As much as I dislike most of the state of VA (red state), a trip to Richmond is a distinct possiblity. I will keep you posted. Maymont sounds like our kind of place!

[interfecta]

I think you'd like it a lot.

My best friend from High School got married at Maymont, but I didn't get to see much of it. I'd love to go back. The wisteria covered gazebo and trellis were beautiful.

Oooh, oooh

Space Mountain!

And Green Bananas (I love my banans, well, slightly green).

Those are some awesome pictures, and now I wanna go! I've never been to the MGM park, only to disney, but damn that Aerosmith coaster looks fun.

How much do you have to pay to get your "screaming" picture?

and I was laughing reading about the diner. You almost made it :) I'll try to remember that if I manage to get down there.

Yeah, the only thing I was sad about not going to the Magic Kingdom for was Space Mountain. But the rock n' roller coaster really blows it out of the water.

I think the "screaming" picture is just under $20. Take a picture of the picture = priceless.

I was wondering if that's what you did. ROCK! :D

Hehehehe.

And I love space mountain (used to hate it when I was wittle)! If you say the rock and roller is better, now I'm really curious :D

I love when you go on trips. You take the best pictures and always jounral everything so it feels as if Im right along for the ride! :O) Thanks for the trip! ;O) hehehe
The Garden pictures were great. Ive never been to MGM..I think thats the only one I havent gone to there. Next time! And I meant to tell you I have a cousin that lives in Kissimmee and she visits that big lake all the time for the festivities (seems they always have something going on there) all the time! :O)

[marymoon]

typo much?!? hahahahahahaha

[weered1]

I'm glad you enjoy reading and looking at the pix :) The Orlando/Kissimmee area is definitely nice to visit...lots of stuff to do. This past 5 day trip was the most time we had spent there in a while and I was afraid we wouldn't find enough to do, but was proven wrong! You should definitely check out MGM next time. Do you like thrill rides?

[marymoon]

haha nope Im a big sissy..wont ride anything that leaves the ground or makes me dizzy. Which isnt much :b Nik however LOVES to be afraid..its just not for me..the whole thrill thing Ive never enjoyed that feeling. Odd huh?

Oo! A Buddha's hand! They used one of those on Iron Chef America once. Apparently it's a citrus fruit like a lemon. Just odder looking. :D

[weered1]

The only reason we even knew what it was was because of Iron Chef. Otherwise, our reactions would've been shocked. It's just so WEIRD!

I'm trying to remember which episode I saw it in. Was it challange Honey? (That one was very cool, BTW).

[weered1]

Yes, challenge honey rings a bell and was pretty recent....at least, I saw it pretty recently.

[theblackdog2071]

I think I know where I need to visit.

[weered1]

Definitely. And try to do it during Gay Days.
