A “Quick” Report on Disney

Astute readers might have noticed a lack of freshness in the last week and a half worth of posts. Probably because I wrote them all last Sunday in a binge of blog writing efficiency.

As promised, here is my update on Disney World. First, I’ll give you the journal entry TRC wrote for the trip: April 22, 2009 Let’s write my vacation. Okay. We went on a flying rhinoceroses at Dinoland, and it was very fun. And we went on Dinosaur, and it was verrrrry scarrrrrry, and it was for sure scary. And I was very scared. After, I was very happy that we were off. So, we went on the flying rhinoceroses, which was at the back of my journal, but they were very good. Next happens: I will give you a TV
