Family Road Trip

11/16/2022

0 Comments

 
We just got home from another road trip...and I uploaded the drive to Florida portion of the trip video to YouTube!
We started out in Fort Worth, drove to Mobile, Alabama for dinner, then headed the rest of the way to Orlando!

Watch the trip in the video above to see our my grand-daughter E-2 being super-freaking cute, dinner (we eat on the street not in a restaurant!) we see a few gators and we get plenty of Starbucks along the way! The video then concludes with a quick room walk thru of our Disney's Coronado Springs Resort room.

If you watch, please comment here or on YouTube and of course don't forget to LIKE & SUBSCRIBE over on YouTube!  :)

Margot The Pirate Not Happening!

I’ll be honest, I never believed this one.

Margot Robbie is great. She is a great actress, she is great at selling movie tickets, and she is great at creating headlines.

Here is the latest.

Margot Robbie Will not be leading a Pirates of the Caribbean movie for DIsney.

How does someone make the headlines for not being in a movie.

Enter Hollywood publicists and Disney bloggers. (Yes, I DO see the irony)

In a cover article for Variety, Margot Robbie recently said, ““We had an idea and we were developing it for a while, ages ago, to have more of a female-led — not totally female-led, but just a different kind of story — which we thought would’ve been really cool, but I guess they don’t want to do it.”

There is now, and in my opinion always has been a better chance of a guy named Johnny Depp starring in the next installment of The Pirates of the Caribbean. Is it a good chance, probably not. But the chance of Margot Robbie leading the way is zero.
