Shrek is a Good Kisser

I know it has been a few days, I have been having too much fun (read: staying up too late) to post. The last few days have been awesome. I will share with you the highlights.

• I got kissed by Shrek in the Everglades section of my hotel (he is a cheek kisser for those you wondering)
• I saw a private Shamu show with some of my new friends (well there were 1800 of us total and it was sweet being in Sea World after hours)
• I realized my air hockey skills are still present and accounted for
• It is amazing how much I learned about computer software all while having fun!
• I did not realize that the fridge in my hotel room was disguised as a dresser and I missed out on two bottles of water a day that were included in my resort fee!
• I rode a Dr. Suess ride with a Tampa Bay Buccaneer 
• I rode a roller coaster for the first time again in years and hated every minute of it! But it was the Harry Potter ride and I had to say that I did it. 
• Hogwarts and Hogsmeade are now imprinted on my brain for all of time, that is me with a butter beer and Hogwarts. No big deal. 

I am not ashamed to admit that I was throwing elbows to get to the back of the park to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I am not sure what I would have done before S.P. (this is before Smart Phone in my life) if I had visited this place. I would not have been able to take as many pictures of myself, that is for sure. It is just as cool as I imagined. I had lunch at the Three Broomsticks and enjoyed a Hogsmeade Brew. They checked my ID three times, I think that confirms that I am going to look young forever! It was nice. After lunch I went through the rest of the park, I saw a dinosaur egg being hatched in Jurassic Park, I missed the Sinbad show but I did take a guided tour of a haunted cave with Poseidon, and met Popeye and Olive Oyl. Oh and I saw some X-Men and X-Women ride off on scooters with Spiderman and Captain America.

It was pretty awesome, ok,  the last week has been SENSATIONAL! I have met lots of new friends and learned more than I thought possible about how to work better in our work software system all while being on vacation.  Remind me of this in January- because right now- life. is. good.
