My family and I just got back from a six day trip down to Walt Disney World.  I'll be posting my thoughts, as well as my families on a number of rides and restauraunts that we checked out while we were down there. We went down on Monday 1/26 on the 6 AM flight out of Manchester.  It was kind of brutal, and I'm not sure I'd do it again.  My kids were troopers though.  I tried to put their sneakers on them without waking them.  Hoping they would just sleep right through th

My family and I just got back from a six day trip down to Walt Disney World.  I'll be posting my thoughts, as well as my So we stayed at Saratoga Springs.  I have to admit I was a little nervous.  My wife and I stayed in that area for our Honeymoon back when it was the Disney Institute.  We had a great time (its what kicked off our whole love fest for Disney), and it worked great for a young couple.  We could walk to Downtown Disney when we wanted to, the busses were no

We checked in about 10 or so, but our room wasn't ready.  So we stored the bags and decided to hit the Hollywood Studios.  The kids were excited (as were my wife and I).  By the time we got our park passes and into the park it was around 11 or so.  Studios was a lot busier than we expected it to be, very busy in fact, lots of tour groups.  Ok, what to do first.  Toy Story Mania was the overwhelming choice from my son.  So we headed back there to check out the l

So our first day of our trip we spent at Hollywood studios, and ended up there in some capactity on more than half of the other days.  Why do we do it so much? Well its a great park for the kids.  Sure it has some great adult rides like the Rockin Roller Coaster and of course the Tower of Terror.  It also has things like the Voyage of the Little Mermaid (great for Catie), Playhouse Disney (still enjoyed by Eric and loved by Catie), Star Tours (one of Eric's favorites), Beauty

Ok, the next park we wanted to go to was the Magic Kingdom.  Like I said in my Hollywood Studios post this park has the most for the entire family.  From the kid stuff in ToownTown in Fantasy Land, to the tweener stuff like Pirates, Buzz, and Monster's Inc, to the thrill stuff like Space, Splash, and Thunder Mountain. My kids really love this park, Eric loves TomorrowLand, Catie loves FantasyLand, makes sense for their age groups if you think about it (6 and 3 respectively). Tomorrow L

Liberty Square Oddly enough, for all that its not a major land in thie park I've always liked Liberty Square.  Something about the buildings there, the bridge, and the Liberty Belle just makes for a nice area.  Sleepy Hollow For a long time the Sleepy Hollow bakery was a bit unknown, it just was never that busy unless people were waiting for a parade.  Couple that with the fact that it was one of two places where you could get ice cream cookie sandwiches (on the big chocolate chip

Ok, so I was browsing ESPN this morning and I saw this . Wow! I honestly didn't expect to see an article commenting about how the Bruins are Stanley Cup contenders. Sure, they're playing great this year. But to be honest, back when in the beginning of the season (say late October, early November) when they first started to string together a lot of wins. I said to myself "Yeah, they do this every year early, then they barely make the playoffs when its all said and done." Well, I was wrong, dead w

It's been three years since Joe Thornton last played a game in Boston The Boston crowd didn't get much of a chance to react to the game since Joe got ejected, but I'm sure they'll make up for lost time tonight. Back when the B's first got Thornton I really liked him. Sure he only had something like 7 points his rookie season, but you could tell by watching that he could be really good. I told everyone that complained about his performance that if you go to a game just watch him. He was smooth, h

Okay, so the B's lost last night.  My prediction was that they would win 5 - 3, and going into the third period with the B's leading 2 - 1 I felt pretty good about that. Then, well everything just fell apart.  In the span of 5 or 6 minutes the Sharks rattled off some goals and before you knew it, the score was 5 -2 in favor of the Sharks (hey at least I got the winning teams goal total right). How did Joe Thornton do?  Well, personally I think I was dead on with him.  He

So I start my blogging, all excited about writing about the Bruins, and as soon as I start to get into it the B's aren't doing so well. So they only have a single win in their last six games if I'm not mistaken (1 - 3 - 2). Their power play hasn't been effective in that span, the one game that it was effective was in their win against the Hurricanes. Now they were getting some offensive chances, they outshot the Panthers 41 - 29. Is it that they're getting too cute? Are their injuries starting t
