Highlights of My Vacation
I finally got some much needed R & R on my vacation this past week. Although most of the week was overshadowed by Hurricane Katrina and the relief efforts, there were a few highlights:
New York City
- American Museum of Natural History
- Central Park / Tavern on the Green
- Walking 45 blocks in the rain
Crayola Factory Store
- We didn’t get to see the factory, due to a power outage
- World’s largest crayon — 1,500 lbs.
Sturgis Pretzel Factory (America’s Oldest)
- We rolled our own pretzels, but weren’t allowed to bake them (the law)
- Best soft pretzel I’ve had in a long time
Hershey Park
- Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate
- Storm Runner roller coaster (zero to 72 MPH in 2 seconds!)
- The Train, Monorail, Train, Monorail, Train, Monorail…
- Ruby and Little Joe (a late night wrong number on my RAZR)
- Remy Martin (who kicked my ass)
Misc
- Backyard BBQ’s
- Personal battles with SATA hard disk drivers
- $3.59 per gallon for gas
- Sean Penn’s relief boat sinks
And last, but not least:
- Seeing my kid laugh and smile the whole week and early confirmation of a special package that’s due to arrive in April 2006.
