The Fourth of July (035/365)

Day 35 Happy: The Fourth of July!

Today was amazing. I didn't get to see many fireworks, but I did see a lot of the back of my eyelids, and that's just as good!

Marc and I slept in, watched Independence Day and Live Free or Die Hard and bummed around on the futon all day. It was rainy and gross most of the afternoon, so we decided to skip the fireworks and hang out at home instead. Last year when we went to watch fireworks at Vinoy Park, it was crowded and hot and it tooks us forever to find our car afterwards. Staying at home was really nice, and we saw a couple fireworks over the building across the parking lot.

I also made veggie chili, which was absolutely delicious. I took a picture of it as the very first picture for Project 365 that I am doing on Flickr. Marc has been doing his Project 365 for almost two months, and it seems fun, so I will be taking a picture every day. We'll see how that goes... it's not like I'm not too busy already! Haha.

Veggie Chili = Love!

How did you guys spend your Fourth of July?

Harry Potter World! (026/365)

Day 026 Happy: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (again!)

Redundancy!

Marc and I went back to Harry Potter World (which I call it, as it is easier to say than "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter"... such a mouthful!). This time, he let me use his camera the whole time so that I could get some fun pictures of the theme park. It was awesome to be behind the camera instead of sitting around waiting for Marc to take all the pictures!



It was way less crowded than the last time we went (on opening day) and we actually got to go into all of the shops, eat at the Three Broomsticks, and ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. The ride was awesome, one of those simulated ones. And, it was exactly the perfect length... I'm afraid if it would have gone on any longer, I would have vomited! I tend to have a very sensitive tummy when it comes to that sort of ride, you see.

At the Three Broomsticks, Marc had shepherd's pie (which he claimed wasn't nearly as good as mine) with a salad, and I had a kids meal with mac n' cheese, potato wedges and grapes, since they had next to no vegetarian options. We finally got to try Pumpkin Fizz (like Pumpkin Juice, but carbonated) and Butterbeer, which tastes a lot like cream soda, with thick, foamy whipped cream on top.

I'm exhausted, so I'll leave you with some of the pictures that I took from the day.

Rain, Rain (022/365)

Day 22 Happy: Rain!

It has been raining for the past two hours. I love this part about Florida summers (not happy for the day... today is the first day of summer, which means it is only going to get hotter. ICK). It is so nice to read my book for homework (The Chocolate War... it is pretty good so far!), all curled up in my PJs on my futon with a cup of hot chai, listening to the rain outside. If only I had a cozy fireplace, the scene would be complete!

Another happy for today... Marc has gotten an insane amount of views and comments on his flickr since posting the pictures from Harry Potter world. It makes him happy to have so many other people enjoy the photos he has taken, and when he is happy, I am happy! Check out his pictures from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (and others) here!
