Universal Studios today so I woke up a bit late and did fewer miles. Just past one mile I saw loads of hot air balloons nearby - turns out they were landing in a field just near the run. It was fun to see them come in and land and deflate. I realized that riding in a hot air balloon is on my bucket list, as is skydiving, and riding in a helicopter. Deep sea fishing is probably in there as well. Marathon, check, now on to those other ones. But checking those off the list is soooo much easier than a marathon! I don't need to prep for months and months - just pay a large sum of money and go do it then check it off. I like that idea.

Universal was a blast. Harry Potter land was excellent and The Hulk roller coaster was awesome. We had a great time. Now I need to figure out a way to save up thousands of dollars and bring my family to Orlando for a full week of Disney, Universal, and the beach. Hopefully in a couple years. Only one more day of warmth, then it's back to Montana. It's been nice.

Russ - I'm hoping to get my clan out there next year. We went to Euro Disney this year and that's given them the appetite for the real deal. Like you, I've just got to find a way to finance it. Hope you enjoyed your last day in the sun.
