Long Weekend

As I was driving home from the airport last night from my long weekend in Walt Disney World, my youngest child called me on the phone and said,  "Mom I'm hungry, what's for dinner, where are you?".  Do you think they missed me? My girlfriend and I went to WDW for the opening weekend of the annual Food & Wine Festival at Epcot.  We had a really good time, the food was good and so were the spirits. I'm not a wine drinker, but at each country they had a beer option.  My favorite was the Sam Adams Festival Brew (available only there at F&W).  
While there, I was sure to ride all the rides that I wanted and especially visit the China Pavilion.  I had never viewed the Circle-Vision film "Land of Beauty, Land of Time" there at the pavilion.  You stand in the center of this theatre when the movie starts and it is played on all the large screens at the top of the theatre in a circle.  As I was watching and admiring the scenery and thinking "This is so cool, I'm going to see this in real life!", the scene shifted to Suzhou, yes Suzhou.  Suzhou is actually part of the movie ~ weird but true!  I said out loud, "I'm moving there!"  I think the people around me thought that I had to much of the "festival".  



There is much to be said of a weekend of fun, but it is also good to be home.
