Free Stuff!

 What grown-up person goes to the library? A friend was going on a road trip, and their jam is to check out some audio book novels and binge them on the trip. That's a little out of my taste, but I'll tag along to the library to wander around while they look for some book CDs.

Check out the size of that sun in this photo! It was a Saturday, but we checked the Internet, they were still open. Funny that we used the Internet to check, in a way.

Merry Christmas Town!

 Merry Christmas! One more batch of pictures we took when we visited for Thanksgiving. We were there for Thanksgiving, but the park was set up for Xmas. So posting these pictures for Xmas is not strange at all. 

We left off while we were leaving the Festhaus show. Outside was this giant tree which looks like Glow-y Spider-Man thwip'd all over it. 

Busch Gardens Xmastown '22

 Busch Gardens... again? Wasn't I just here? Well, we went again, so we'll get some pictures... again.

This trip was over the Thanksgiving week, so it was full-blown Christmas Town decorations. Last year, we went after Xmas, and it really put us in the Xmas mood. So it was nice to get that effect before the holiday, this time. Um, that wasn't confusing, was it?

Not-Vacation Pics

 Another round of random pics from our not-technically-a-vacation for Thanksgiving.

The night we got down there we were taken out to Outback for a nice steak. One of my friends got their order messed up which was kind of a bummer, but they wound up not charging us for it, so I guess it all worked out. Nobody likes having a bad restaurant experience. It's hard to enjoy your own meal when someone else is just sitting there waiting to get a re-do.

Not a Vacation Technically

 Pics from our Thanksgiving trip down to Virginia Beach. My friend is currently unemployed, so I don't think we can technically call this a "vacation". Hey, at least he's getting a sense of humor about the situation.

Technically we took this picture when we were leaving the beach, not when we just go there. But it's such a cool picture I wanted to post it up front. This is like, the city's entrance to "The Beach". There's probably some kind of story to what this scultpture represents. Is that the reason it's not obvious? To make you curious enough to investigate what it's supposed to be? Is it going to work on me? Did they count on me being soooo lazy? Hey, it looks cool, that's enough for me.

Toy Graffiti

 Here's a bunch of pics from a while ago. Not that you'd notice, I guess. Why would I even need to mention that? Anyway, enjoy the fun comments.

I wonder if this is real graffiti from real trains. You think they are giving credit to the artist? Could you imagine how cool that would be, to be the person who did this, and they ripped off your art to put on a toy? Nah, I'm sure it's made-up for the toy, but it's fun to think that could happen.
