Orlando Fun
My birthday weekend was awesome. Kelle took me to Orlando for water slides and roller coasters. Ever since we'd moved to Tallahassee three years ago, I'd been complaining about not having been to Orlando, so this made me very happy. Islands Of Adventure was awesome, especially Seuss Landing and The Lost Continent. The best ride there, though, was The Hulk, even though it gave us shaken baby syndrome. Wet N' Wild rocked, too. They have a slide called Disco H2O, where riders swirl around an enclosed room full of flashing disco lights and disco music. Very discoey. At night, we went to the City Walk outside of the Universal parks. We thought about dining at Emeril's, but the reservation situation and price tag made us change our minds. We ended up hanging out at Pat O' Brien's both nights, the second night for their "Halfway To St. Patty's Day" event. It was oddly similar to the New Orleans piano bar of the same name, although it was missing that quaint stench of rancid hedonism. We still managed to get blitzed on hurricanes, though.
Horror Film Night tonight at our house. Tonight's showing: Shaun Of The Dead.
