As promised, we celebrated Robin's "birtday" big time today... AT HONG KONG DISNEYLAND!!!By way of background, one of the many things that Robin and Huey share in common is a love of all things Disney that borders on excessive (particularly for two educated, professional "grown folks"). In addition, Robin has an obsession with Tigger (ironically, Huey has a beloved "Bounce Around Tigger" toy that has been a fixture in his office for nearly 10 years). So in planning a celebration of Robin's special day, Huey thought what better place than the newest Disney theme park!
In truth, today was a treat for BOTH of us, as we laughed and played and grinned like children... much older, employed children who can buy themselves (and their loved ones) all of the ice cream and toys and Mouseketeer hats and junk and more ice cream for which younger kids have to nag their parents. Yes, it was a sweet day, perhaps best captured by the following pictures and videos.
Sadly, as spectacular as our day was, we did not see Tigger (other than on the Pooh ride), which likely would have made Robin giggle like a schoolgirl and smile until her face ached. On a brighter note, we ended the long, full day with a shopping spree - so many of you reading this will get to share in the joy of the day with us - and a brilliant fireworks display that was the ultimate exclamation point on a day chock full of them.
Exhausted, but happy, we taxied back to the hotel, bought some postcards at a shop across the street, showered, and went to bed. We're thinking tomorrow we may just take it easy.
