I don't hold it against you. I am very much aware college basketball is a regional thing, and I grew up in one of the craziest regions. Indycar....I just know I'm in the minority.
Delaware isn't a big hotbed for college sports, because our state university is not a major school--we're in the 2nd tier of NCAA sports events. Still, the NCAA basketball tournament is always fun.
Pretty much. Except we bought DVC on our honeymoon so we lie to ourselves now and say it's "free." We just ignore that little monthly payment that auto-drafts.
Ah, yes. Free. Well, just keep telling yourselves that!
That is one of the benefits of it being just the two of us for now.
That was one of my favorite parts of Atlanta. And then we got extra lucky and the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge (that I don't think they've had since) was going on so we got to watch the agility competition. I was in doggie heaven.
That was a really nice park. I was glad we had time to walk around.
We have albino.....alligators? crocodiles? somethings at one of the NC aquariums. One of the cooler exhibits.
Closest aquariums to me are in Baltimore and Camden, NJ. Been years since I went to the one in Baltimore. I try never to go to Camden, NJ.
I could have spent days in that room. It's truly majestic.
Somehow we missed both shows I think we just decided we didn't have enough interest to try and catch one. Our main reason for visiting was I had booked a behind-the-scenes sea otter encounter.
Well, that sounds pretty cool!
Also something else we missed, but glad to hear we weren't missing much.
Yeah, I think you did just fine there.
So, I've never stayed at a Country Inn. But in my head I think they're fabulous, for the main reason that when I was a travel agent, they came by our office and in the tradition of giving out chintzy branded items...gave us a pocket knife/corkscrew/bottle opener. That thing is amazing and lives in my purse, and has saved the day more than once. So I have fond feelings towards the chain, despite never having stayed in one.
Might have to rethink that now.
The Country Inn is just fine. We've stayed at several and never had a problem. This was just a bad part of the city.
See, I don't remember it at all. I remember watching the torch come through Raleigh. Actually had to google the bombing. But, I was also 5, so probably wasn't watching a lot of the coverage.
Well, I doubt you remember a ton from age 5!
Amazing animals. They allow you to dive with them. Three friends flew up and planned to do it the 1 full day they were there. Something was wrong with one of the Whale Sharks so no diving that day. Glad I passed on that trip.
That stinks. I know swimming with the whale sharks is on @pkondz 's bucket list.
Funny. True but funny.
