Life in exile...


It's been several weeks since I've visited the Magic Kingdom; however, in just 2 short weeks, I'll be heading back, to gorge myself on churro's, Dole-whips, frozen lemonade and the sights and sounds of Walt's dream come true...

So, in anticipation of returning to the fun park, I've selected a few images that I shot in June of this year.

Soon, the summer heat and crowds will subside and give way to cool nights and sparse attendance. Hot chocolate will replace ice-cream bars and frozen bananas, sunscreen will make way for jackets...

If you travel from out of town to visit the Mouse House, as many many people have done for many many years, consider lodging at one of the quaint Motels that sprung up to meet the tourism needs of the park visitors from the earliest days. Themed as to stand out from each other, many stand as remarkably well preserved examples of mid-century kitch.
