I'm not much of a person for midnight releases... of anything; movies, black Friday stuff, etc. But when I heard that every Toys "R" Us was going to be doing a midnight release event for the new Star Wars Force Awakens toys, I was intrigued.
All in Outings & Events
Disney Star Wars Race Weekend
I'm not a great runner. Honestly, I still haven't found that thing about running that many people love. However, I do love Star Wars, and to an only slightly lesser degree I love Disney. So when they announced the inaugural race weekend in Disneyland, I didn't figure I'd have too much trouble convincing Dani to agree to sign up for it.
Smiling Hill Farm with the Gilligans
his past weekend, Dani and I took a trip up to Portland to visit our good friends the Gilligans. First stop Saturday morning was to Smiling Hill Farm to pet some animals, ride a tractor and pick a pumpkin.
Chicago and C2E2 2014
I just got back from a much needed vacation to Chicago. For the third time since 2011 , I attended the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo. C2E2, as it's called, has become one of my favorite comic events to attend.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Signing
To this day, my favorite, and arguably the best, comic book / cartoon / movie / toy lines is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I still have vivid memories of being a young kid in the toy aisle of this store called Roses, seeing those first toys on the pegs.
Baby Joanna's First Birthday
A little over a year ago, our friends Sarah and Brandon brought this beautiful little girl into the world. Dani and I are fortunate enough to get to spend time and be a part of her life. Below are some photos from her first birthday party. As you can see, she loved playing with Molly, Laney, and her birthday cupcake!
2013 Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo
This post is quite a bit late in coming, but I wanted to revisit my awesome weekend in Chicago. I had originally planned on going to this show's sister show, the New York Comic Con this past October. But due to having my place to stay fall through and it being absurdly expensive to get a motel room in Manhattan, I had to call it off.
Running through Disney
Well it's been almost two weeks since we've been back. I guess it's finally time that I blogged about it. I think once Dani heard about the Run Disney races, there was little chance that we would not be doing them. Right away we decided to take part in the 2013 Disney World Half Marathon, which coincidentally was the 20th anniversary of the race.
