It was really cool how the teams entered through the corn rows. I was getting emotion with Kevin Costner's speech. Eric is watching the game. I was more interested in the pregame show. I'm rooting for the Sox to win! They used over 11,000 rods to keep the corn straight. It is a beautiful field. I told DH he needs to start mowing the acreage to look like that. LOL. Go Sox! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had damaged stocks from a wind storm so the farmer straightened them all up with zip ties for the MLB over a few days. That’s pride.

Jimbo Posted August 13, 2021 #25928 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Yankees 8-7 unreal !! They just interviewed that Bull Pen pitcher for the Sox too, I guess he wasn't in the right frame of mind to pitch .. I never did like those in-game interviews. I know , I know it's for TV . 4-run top of the 9th inning for Yankees Edited August 13, 2021 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryfat1 Posted August 13, 2021 #25934 Share Posted August 13, 2021 There were few questions on what was the name of the food from my day 2 hotel stay: Here's the official name: This is available everyday we've been here, but the ingredients are somewhat different daily. I didn't take picture of the ingredients for day 2, but I think it's similar as day 6 of this picture. Given my hectic vacation schedule (up daily before 7 AM to reserve space for the virtual queue of Disney parks) and spending all day there , I'm running 4 days behind in my trip report compared to real time. I'll probably be at day 3 of the report by time I return home so there's a lag. But if there are any questions on the hotel, just let me know. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryfat1 Posted August 13, 2021 #25935 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Continuing with day 2 - After breakfast at hotel, we went to Costco to get food for the rest of the vacation. Wait, did he say Costco? Why would he go to Costco while on vacation at Disneyland? The question will be answered later on. Anyway, this particular Costco had the food court outside instead of inside like the design of the more modern Costco. That tells me this was probably once upon a time a Price Club before Costco bought them. Price Club used to have their food courts outside such that anyone can buy the $1.50 hot dog/drink without going inside or even being a member. I was a legacy Price Club member pre merger and had my membership moved over to Costco post merger. Anyway, while there, we adopted a new member of the family. If you never watched Mandalorian show, then never mind as this has no significance to you. But to all the people that were snatching this baby up in their carts that day, many people love the Child just like us. Also got this as I have never seen this being sold at the bay area Costco: 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keksie Posted August 13, 2021 #25939 Share Posted August 13, 2021 An FYI to all the Florida people here. Get water, gas and food now. Check your generators. Hopefully Fred will just be rainy and fizzle away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted August 13, 2021 #25940 Share Posted August 13, 2021 As I finish packing for our car trip to WDW in Florida, I have been watching the weather channel and hoping Fred behaves. Years ago I used to date a man called Fred. That did not work out. After him I met the man of my dreams and this past Tuesday we celebrated our 30th. wedding anniversary. Yup it was fun driving home from Columbus in a car on our anniversary. We originally planned to be on the Allure starting this weekend, but cancelled with all the cruise uncertainty at that time and booked Disney. The drive this weekend could be wet and wild, but "It is what it is". We are getting up at OMG 3am. to be on the road by 4am. Hopefully make it to Georgia where we booked a room for the night. Growing up our family always did car trips, me and my brothers were the back seat drivers and Mom and Dad up front. We used to take a cooler and had water, pop and sandwiches at rest areas for lunch to save time and money. Well, reliving my childhood memories. I have ice ready to put in the cooler. Sandwiches will be made and ready to go. A snack bag of unhealthy treats. Water and pop chillin. Suitcases almost ready. If my phone behaves I will attempt to post some of our travels. Pray for safety. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pray for safety. I remember those road trips. We’d leave home in Indiana early in the morning and stop just south of Atlanta for the night. Then on to Fort Pierce where my grandparents lived. They had a 2 bedroom trailer so I got the couch. We’d usually go for thanksgiving. The trailer park had a carry in dinner for thanksgiving. Imagine 40 grandmothers making their specialty. What a great meal. Often I’d be the only child there, so I was really pampered. Great memories! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did something like that after a B2B cruises( Pacific Coastal Cruises followed by an Alaska Cruise) After getting off the ship in Vancouver we rented a car and drove to St. Helens , Oregon and stayed at the "Twilight Swan House for 3 nights. You can rent the house on AirBnB https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/28942373?source_impression_id=p3_1628820735_EIPFtHL3SclGc4JU Really neat to have slept in Bella's Room 🙂 We also drove around the different areas where the film was shot. It was an awesome way to end 18 nights on the cruises. The house went up for sale and a couple bought it(Amber and Dean)...If I remember right the cost wasn't crazy high either for when they bought the house...........They did a few repairs and when they got it ready to rent, Every month sold out, I'm sure they paid for it in full before Covid hit........I think we were there in 2017...........looks like now because of Covid it's not rentable right now though. My wife and I still talk about that vacation to this day. Actually she want to go there again someday............She is a huge Twilight fan !! Then we flew home from Portland , Oregon Airport (PDX) That sounds like an amazing trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they first started the virtual queue you had to be in Hollywood Studio park for it to work. We would get to the park at 6:15 am for a chance to get on the ride. It was nice when they made it so you can do it from your room. Do they do the virtual queue for other rides now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleyandGus Posted August 13, 2021 #25949 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I just came back from Ottawa. My daughter had a baby shower, hosted by her mother-in-law. I was a surprise addition- my daughter wanted me there, but felt that it was an unreasonable request. My husband disagreed, so about 10 days before the shower I booked tickets! My son in law and his mom knew I was coming, but we didn’t tell Amanda. Here I am with the presents!T I did a lot of laundry, washed dishes and did what I could to make it easier for her for a few days. I’ll be back next month for the birth. There also puppies- so many puppies. Amanda’s German Shepherd had 8 puppies. They are adorable, but so much work! If anyone in the Ottawa area wants a puppy…a 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
