Aside from the fact that I had quite a lapse of judgment and accidentally put the words on the wrong side of the cranes in a few dozen, this was also the last crane of my vacation down south. I certainly recommend it for anyone thinking about doing it. I've got no other vacations on the horizon, so I had to make sure this one counted. And, by golly, it did. Now I'm back to the grind and trying to figure out local places to release some cranes and little day trips that I can go on. Hopefully you guys are as excited about the second year of crane releases as I am. It's going to be a great year, I can feel it.

I saw the mall when I had first landed and wanted to place a crane there. However, since my flight got in super early, the mall wasn't opened yet. So I vowed that if I got close to the airport with time to spare, I'd pop in. This was one nice mall that the Starbucks was in. They had those bouncy-attached-by-ginormous-rubber-bands-thing in one of the open areas. The coolest thing my childhood mall ever had in the middle was a fountain. Kids these days...

This ended up being the last crane that I made with the maps from Disney. I can't believe it's already been a month and a half since I've been back. I swear, the time seems to go by faster and faster the older that I get. Do you guys have the same feeling? I certainly hope I'm not the only one blasting through life. It's kind of funny how some moments seem to take forever to go by (namely the ones while working) but looking back on it only reminds you of how quickly time is passing.
