2025 Disneyland Half Marathon - 2025/02/02

It's so early... The Disneyland Half Marathon starts before the world wakes up to ensure the parks and roads are cleared before guests arrive for their day of fun. 

I had my alarm set for 3am, but was awake and not going back to sleep at 2:15am. Despite that, this year I'm not feeling nervous at all. My training has been solid for a year now. I'm healthy and I don't have any nagging injuries to speak of. 13.1 miles, especially 13.1 Disney miles, should be a walk in the park! 

Like the sweatshirt? I visited Goodwill a week before to pick up some clothes I could wear to keep warm and then toss before the race begins. All those clothes get collected and donated again. 

By 3:20am, I was out the door with all my gear.

Preparing for the 2025 Disneyland Half Marathon - 2025/01/30

It's that time of year again! The beginning of January and it's time for the Disneyland Half Marathon! I've run it all the years they've held it, so of course I'll be running it again this year. One small problem is that when I started running it back in 2006, I lived in California. Now, we've moved all the way across the country to Florida! It's a bit of travel to get back!

But, bright and early on Thursday morning, we headed to the Orlando Airport.

Lay's Honey Butter Chips taste test comparison - from Canada - flavours from Korea

During our trip to Canada earlier this year, I found so many fun things I wanted to bring back home for a taste test. When I saw these chips, I knew we'd have to give them a try. Who doesn't love Honey Butter? 


And what does Honey Butter go great on? Definitely fresh bread rolls. We're excited to try these all today!

A Cabot Popcorn Taste Test - Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese Popcorn, Pepper Jack Popcorn, Maple Cheddar Popcorn, and Sea Salt Caramel Cheddar Popcorn

On our recent travels to Vermont, we visited Enticement Alley, a section in Waterbury Vermont that's filled with lots of fun, food themed shops to visit. One of those shops is the Cabot Creamery, where the Cabot Cheese company sells a whole bunch of their different cheeses and cheese products! 

We've previously done a sharp cheddar cheese taste test that included 9 of their cheeses, so on this visit, I was looking for something a little different. And I think I found something that we'll all love! Popcorn!  


There's 4 different popcorn flavors to choose from: 2 savory and 2 sweet! 
Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese Popcorn, based on their best selling cheddar cheese. 
Pepper Jack Seasoned Cheese Popcorn, a spicier alternative. 
Maple Cheddar Popcorn. Combine sweet and savory? Oh yes, definitely looking forward to this one. 
Sea Salt Caramel Cheddar Popcorn. Caramel and cheese? Let's try it!

2024 Summer Road Trip - New Jersey Pt 1 - 2024/08/08

It's been a lot of fun hanging out in Connecticut (and going to the nearby Six Flags New England in Massachusetts) but it's time to go to the next stop. We're just missing a few more states before we will have traveled to all of the 48 lower states! Our next stop is... New Jersey. Hmm. 


Theresa told me that my drive that morning would take us through New York, and I'd be driving the RV through the Bronx. Lovely.

A Giant Doritos Taste Test - 23 Unique Flavors including International Flavors

It's time for a Mega Doritos Taste Test! 

"Another one?" I hear you say. Yes, another one. I was a little disappointed with the first one, only having 11 different flavors when I knew there were a whole lot more! 

So today, I have found 23 different Doritos flavors for all of us to try including unique flavors from Japan and Mexico!  


With the whole family together, it's a great time to have these giant taste tests to get lots of different opinions on all the flavors. 

That's a whole lot of chips.
