The beans went on our honeymoon in September 1997. They had a blast in the Florida sun for 8 days. There are more Walt Disney World photos from 2001 online here.


Walt Disney World

Splash Mountain, The Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World. One of the greatest attractions anywhere.

The Hercules Parade at Disney-MGM Studios was a hit. I'm sure that Hades and Meg must've wondered why I was holding up a can while they went by.

You see, Popeye ate spinach, and all he got for his efforts was oversized forearms, a nasty squint, a chance to beat up the occasional drunken sailor, and a walking pencil for a girlfriend. Now, Hercules ate his black beans, and not only did he become a Greek god, he got a va-va-voom fabulous babe out of the deal. You tell me who was the smarter man...

Spaceship Earth and beans. The sign of the future.

Here they are with a wooden Mickey statue at Epcot. If I remember right, the statue was $5,000.

Universal Studios Florida

It rained cats, dogs, and other small mammals the day that we were here, so we had to work hard to keep the beans from becoming soggy. Here they are at the Bates Mansion and with the Flintstones Bedrock house.

"Norman?" "Yes, Mother." "Did you eat your black beans?" "No, Mother. I took their picture, just as you asked." "That's a good lad." See, perhaps young Mr. Bates wasn't so crazy after all...

Cocoa Beach, Florida

Nothing says "beans" like beans on the sand!
Someday I'll have to take them to see the Space Shuttle.
