I spent the night car camping at a Pilot truck stop and I ended up getting at least 6 hours straight of sleep, woke briefly and then continued my surprisingly restful nights slumber.

I took my time in the morning and throughout my drive, but still managed to get to my planned destination an hour early. On my way, I stopped at Universal Studios to pick up a park pass. The visit is for mixed reasons. I am not the ultimate Harry Potter fan, but I do enjoy the books and the films. I am interested experiencing the attractions. I went a few years back and was extremely impressed with the technology used to create these experiences. I plan to ask around to find out if I can connect with anyone for more detailed information on what it took. I don't have high expectations of getting anywhere, but it never hurts to ask.

I must also admit that I had other motives as well. There is a Voodoo Doughnuts there and I needed to get my vegan doughnut fix. This is the only place I know of that makes raised yeast ones. It took about 5 hours, but I managed to consume three of them. Thankfully I put over 7 miles on my feet today, so I feel I earned it.

The gallery is a bit sparse at the moment, but it should start getting populated over the next couple of weeks as I will be visiting many new places. It will take a lot of effort, but I am going to attempt to only select a maximum of 10 images per day to upload. We expect our students to do this, so I will force myself to do so as well.
