Legs starting to feel stronger and get the itch in them, but I need to take at least a week off. So in the mean time here are a few pics from our trip to universal Orlando - specifically HP World. Oh and one last pic of my poor toes at the end of the marathon. 

 

The Castle was amazing as you can see, the details were very impressive.

 

 

Sirius was one of my favorites

 

Fun gag shop :)

 

This stuff was YUM-O. I made some before of my own, but they have me beat. After tasting it I know what to tweak now to make it the same.

 

You would not believe how much cash we spent there.

 

Buckbeat, this is actually right before you go up the hill on the coaster.

 

Inside the Boar's head... more butter beer!  And now for my toes haha...

AHHH!!! You could have warned me about the last picture. OUCHIE!!! Your poor toes look like they were attacked by a basilisk! However, very cool Hogwarts pictures. I am going to start saving my cookie money!

Great pictures, looks like a ton of fun. I admit I just see visions of piles of cash burning into thin air when I look at them! I refuse to take the kids there until the little one is at least 5 or 6 though, so they will remember the trip. Cool bloody foot pic as well.

yikes! is that white carpet you have those bloody toes resting on?

cool pics, dan. looks like you are having a fun trip. nice job taking it easy this week. i think i am going to need the whole week off as well -- i only made it one block today and before my calves gave up.

Ouch on the toes! I posted a picture of my feet a while back, I lost 5 toenails all together. They weren't bloody but they looked pretty nasty.

Wow! Serious toe damage. Hope they heal up quick. Enjoy the week off!

Hey Dan,

I just noticed...you almost had a perfect 3:16 marathon...! That would have been cool :-)
