2025 Christmas Season - Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra at the Della Phillips Pavillion - 2025/12/12

It's the holiday season and it's time to get into the spirit! One of the things we all love to do (but Theresa especially) is go to a holiday concert! Hearing a live orchestra play Christmas music just gives you a special feeling. 

Fortunately for us, the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra has two different concerts in two different parks leading up to Christmas!

Terry's Chocolate Orange and Terry's Chocolate Orange Snow Balls

Christmas is the time of year for Chocolate Oranges! I don't know why, but it just is! I remember a few years ago when we tried 5 different flavors of Terry's Chocolate Oranges (plus 3 filled chocolate oranges), and that was awesome! 

There's a new flavor out though and my brother Jon made sure I had one to try. 


Terry's Chocolate Orange with Snowballs! 
So today, we're trying the Original Terry's Orange along with the Terry's Orange Snowballs, which has candy coated chocolate pieces.

Hawaii Day 4 - Chuck E Cheese Kapolei and Waikiki Beach - 2025/07/05

It's Day 4 for our Hawaiian Vacation! 

Riding the elevator down to breakfast, it's always fun to get the one that is themed like a tiki room. Some of the elevators are your standard plain boxes, but a few are decorated special.

Nissin Cup Noodles Pumpkin Pie Flavor - Taste Test Comparison

I haven't been writing up as many taste tests lately because the kids wanted me to focus more on our travel stories, but this one felt timely and appropriate. 

In the fall season of years past, we've tried quite a few Pumpkin Spice flavored things. Wendy's Frostys and Cold Brews, Krispy Kreme Donuts, Soda and Popcorn, Caramels, Kit Kats and M&Ms, Jelly Bellies, Cheerios, and even Frosted Flakes cereal. But this one... This one seems like the most unique. 

Cup Noodles. But Pumpkin Pie Flavor. 


The two don't really seem like they'd go together, but we'll have to see.

Happy Thanksgiving - Extra Stuff we did in Colorado Pt2 - 2025/11/29

Time for part 2 of all the fun stuff we did while in Colorado. 

One of the holiday traditions my brother and his wife try to do each year is get over to the expensive and exclusive Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs to look at the Christmas lights. Lately the hotel has become even more exclusive, not letting the general public visit, reserving their grounds only for those staying overnight. There is however a workaround that they've found, and that's to book a reservation for one of their restaurants!

Happy Thanksgiving - Extra Stuff we did in Colorado Pt1 - 2025/11/28

We're in Colorado for Thanksgiving, but that's not the only thing happening this week. We're plenty busy while we prepare for the big day! 

Everyone loved seeing Wicked last year, so when Wicked: For Good came out this weekend, we put together a big party to go see it.
