Project 365 – Day 93
Flashback... 1999
No cool pics for April 3rd 2009, so a flashback to 10 years ago. This was taken in Orlando, Florida while vacationing in Disney World with the family. This was also around shot number 200-something taken with my first digital camera. I shot it at 640×480, but could’ve (and should’ve) shot everything at 1600×1200 (the full 2 MegaPixels). I didn’t know any better. LOL.
Shot with a Nikon Coolpix 950 and post-processed in Adobe Lightroom 2.3.

Lunch at Arvads
Ironically, one of my favorite pics from our “leaf peeping” weekend in Vermont doesn’t have any leaves in it.

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.
