endless_musingsGood Bye Halloween! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I am so sad to see it go this year. It was kind of bittersweet due to Covid. Halloween Horror nights was cancelled though I was able to take my son to see the two haunted houses that were offered this year at Universal Studios. They were so good. I think our favorite was the Bride of Frankenstein. Though we did also enjoy the tooth fairy house as well. This time of year we would also have made it out to Seaworld for their holiday events but again with Covid we decided to save the limited spots for the little kids. We also have not reactivated our Annual passes for Seaworld since Covid. Maybe for the holidays but it also depends on what are true holiday budget allows.
For Halloween we went to the Science Center to check out the Traveling Pompeii: The Immortal City Exhibit. Orlando is one of only three sites in the United States to host this Exhibit so we feel very lucky even if we were the last trip on the tour. We were able to see a lot of authentic artifacts and a 360 view presentation at the beginning for the exhibit which was very thrilling. At the end of the exhibit they had a room that had castings of two people that were killed from to volcano. It was so emotional to see. One day I think I would like to go to Pompeii in person.
The last part of the day I had one of my dear friends to enjoy the Johnny Depp version of Sleep Hollow on the projector. We enjoyed pizza and halloween candy and was a relaxing night with good conversation. I miss hanging out with friends so much. This night was definitely good for my mental health.
My son also had a nice surprise on Sunday night one of his best friends who is in the Navy and currently stationed overseas surprised him with a text that stated he was out on the porch. My son got a little emotional but was very happy to see his pal. I think he too needed to hangout with a friend.
Here’s hoping for a Nice November and a reminder to be thankful for those that we have in our lives.
