CKCK 45 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I am in. I have to disagree on the Sam Cherry Wheat though. It is one of my favorite beers. Bring on the Reds!! Weird. I still think it tastes like medicine. I'm in. Great! I'm in. Great! I love your TR style. I love your comment style. Kind of redundant, but effective. I'm in too!Loving your descriptions of the food.I agree with you about the Cherry Wheat beer in fact that is exactly how I described it to my husband. I said it tasted like Robitussin.I'll keep reading even though you don't have the Reds with you.How could you do that to us?Don't you like us anymore? And I don't like Robitussin either. Glad you agree. The reds will be here soon. Yes I like most of you... I'm in! Note to self, beware cherry wheat beer. (In my best Clint Eastwood imitation) Same for avoiding the blueberry flavored beers that are about to show up on shelves for summer. Just gimme a man's beer or a man's coffee; straight up without flowers. Looking forward to more, and hoping there will be more about the tent camping. Despite having a trailer with a kitchen and bathroom, I have spent more nights flat on my back in a two man tent these past three years while my son is in Boy Scouts. Lots more planning and more ibuprofen! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Cherry and wheat. See, that just doesn't even look appetizing. And blueberry...that's not beer in my opinion. Man beer. That's what I'm talking about. I'm in, even if this will be redless but yeah for a no kid trip! Did the reds know where you were going? Cuz heads would roll in this house if we went to Disney without our 5 yr old. Yes, the reds knew. They got to spend the weekend with the grandparents, so it was all good. Plus, we just told them that we were going down to get everything ready for our Thanksgiving trip. It worked. Better late than never! Glad you're back.I'm in, but I need some pics of the reds. Thanks! Chill on the reds, be patient! I'm a little slow...but I'm learning that page 1 is a big deal so.. did I make it? :) Yes. Congratulations. Love the food pics, tent camping, and adult trip!!! I mean kids are cute and all, but you were married before you had kids!!! That's right! Most people forget that! I will say a WDW trip without the girls is tough. Everything we do we talk about if the girls were there. I'm just a softy when it comes to them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CKCK 45 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'm in! Hey, we were there that weekend, I'll have to look for us in the background of your pictures (if you have more than just food, that is, haha). Crazy! It was such a quick trip for us we barely even paid attention to if anyone else was there. Not sure I have many pics of anything other than food though... I am in I am glad. I'm in. Your descriptions are great. Food & Wine Fest is what I want to do next. Adults only. Maybe in a year or 2. F&W is great. We did it with the girls one year on a Friday night and quickly realized it was not the best of ideas! I'm in! Great! I'm in also !!!! Great also! Top of page 2! Well this is awkward... I hate to tell you this, but that's page 1. I will say that at one point you were on page 2. Someone vanished. Not sure who. Still awkward. We missed you and your eloquent descriptions... Bring on the reds... ( and it is good to see you again ) Yeah, I'm here too, right?!? Wow, CK2 is back! With those eloquent descriptions of the dishes you tried at the Food and Wine Festival, I think you ought to apply for a position with the Disney Dining Blog. Funny stuff! Bring it on! TCD See, you get me. I'm totally in the wrong business. I love the food descriptions. So much better than the wordy word stuff they put on their menus. Awe man I miss those red heads. They are going to be as well known as the TCD Twins. I suggest you take a trademark out on them and sell t-shirts. Who needs menus anyway? Yeah, SOMEONE broke my cover on our Thanksgiving trip because of the reds! We'll get to that one soon! I'm in. We're going for F&W for the first time this year, so I'm looking forward to hearing more. Bam! That means you'll be writing a TR in the fall! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CKCK 45 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Day 2: Sunday, Oct. 13 DHS Since this was a non-red trip it meant we could ride some things we normally don’t get to. Namely R&R. No pics, but we rode it. It also meant we didn’t have to share any food that we got. Like this: Carrot cake cookie. One of my jams. We sat here and ate it. That’s our carrot cake cookie eating place. In the shade. Benches. Squirrels frolicking. Good times. We had three missions at DHS today. Ride R&R. Get a carrot cake cookie. And do this: Mine was the top one, Mrs. CK the bottom. It was cool we got Donald, because we already had a Daisy. If you haven’t ever done the animation class... do it. Relaxing, air conditioning, dim lights, and you get a free souvenir. Can’t beat it. We accomplished our three missions and headed to Epcot for more F&W. After all, that’s why we were here. Soup stuff: I’m thinking cheese soup or something. Probably pretty good. Cheese stuff and other thing: I remember the cheese stuff from last year. Has pistachios or something on it. Not healthy, but good. Other thing I have no idea. Kinda looks like a gyro. Salad stuff on a tortilla and some kind of alcohol: Can’t remember if it was mango margarita or what. Either way it was overpriced and not enough of it. Like everything, but for some reason I keep spending money. Okay, now here’s my jam: From China, strawberry ribbon ice cream. Crazy good. Weird, but good. I can’t even explain it, but I wanted more. Also got potstickers: Potsticker is a funny word. Sausage: Lots of comments to be had here. I’ll leave it at that. Bowl of cheese: It’s actually ravioli or something. Looks like a bowl of cheese. It’s actually pretty good. But so not healthy. Bowl of cheese. And that’s all the food and wine. Sorry. We left after our F&W lunch and hung out at the Fort for awhile. Here are some random campsite pics: Let’s talk about the elephant in the room for a minute. The minivan. We’ve had it for a year now. We traded in my wife’s Acura TL for that. It was difficult. It’s a minivan. That was a large psychological hurdle to overcome for me. But it’s flippin’ awesome. Automatic doors, no more hitting cars next to us when the reds fling open the doors. DVD entertainment system with headphones. Awesome. Lots of room. I’m over the stigma of having a minivan, because it’s flippin’ awesome. I’m pretty sure we explored the Fort for awhile then headed over to the MK. I didn’t take any pics at the park, but took some around the Fort: That’s it. Food and Wine 2013 over. We headed out the next morning. It was a quick trip, but F&W is always good. Tent camping, not so much. The main reason? Sand. I hate sand. Hate it. Tent camping just puts me closer to the sand, and that’s never a good thing. Fortunately our Thanksgiving trip was in a premium, and back to normal in our camper and GC! I’ll start that TR shortly. Until then, thanks for catching up with me on this quick one. I promise the next one will have lots of redheads! out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Short, sweet, and to the point. Thanks for bringing us along. Minivans rock!!!Before DD was born we flew out to California to visit my family and the rental car company was out of the economy car we reserved so they upgrade us to a minivan. Neither of us really thought it was much of an upgrade until we got in it and drove it. After our two hour drive to my moms house we decided DW needed a minivan before DD arrived. I surprised her with her dodge caravan a few days before we were blessed with our beautiful daughter. We've had one ever since. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And there's still room in the back for crap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 We never went the minivan route. I had an Escort Station Wagon for a long while. I put a rubber mat in the back for the dirty baseball gear, and camping gear then moved to my first Sport Trac where all the dirty baseball gear and camping gear could go in the truck bed. The best thing about the Sport Trac was vinyl floors, no carpet to get dirty!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's none of the above.... It's the MAN-VAN!! Okay Duane, you may be getting carried away here. I may dig it now, but it still is a minivan. Speaking of minivans, has everyone around here seen the swaggerwagon video from Toyota from a couple years ago? If not, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql-N3F1FhW4 Good report CKCK. Anyone who mocks minivans either doesn't have multiple small children, or prefers their life to be more difficult than it has to be. I think we've had 4 of them. Totally. Our friends without children don't get it. Dang it! I forgot all about this. This TR is making me want to go back this year for the F&W. Where was this? Did they bring the wagon out of hiding? And, they even come with central vacs now. How cool is that.... The wagon was just outside the Settlement Trading Post. I think it has been there for awhile now. We didn't get the vac. We would have had to wait a couple months for the new models to get that. I agree. I can haul so much more crap with my mini van. And while it's probably not super comfortable for them, my parents can cram in the back so we don't need 2 cars to go places. And there's still room in the back for crap. I generally don't haul crap. That would be messy. I hope you don't put your parents back where the crap was. Thanks for the reds tease and posing with princess red is bonus. Your drawings are both good. I'm impressed. About that mini van.... well, I won't make fun of you too much. Beautiful sunset picture. Bring on Thanksgiving! Thanks thanks and thanks!
