Short Epcot trip

     Julie was originally planned to go on an away football trip this evening with her cheerleaders. Due to some paperwork issues they were unable to actually go on the trip or hold a practice today. Giving Julie the afternoon free with which we decided to wander over to Epcot for awhile and just walk around.
     We started out with a quick walk with a destination in mind of the Lotus Blossom Cafe in China (you can read about our meal at http://agardieff.blogspot.com/). We casually took our time and then it was off on a journey around the world. Our first stop a wander through China's large gift shop. Then came the walk around the world, a quick walk through Italy and off to Japan. In Japan they recently opened a new exhibit in the gallery titled: Spirited Beasts. Which is a look at Anime and the actual Japanese myths that inspired them. It has some neat little figurines to look at, but, if your not an Anime fan you'll find yourself in and out in a matter of a couple minutes. After Japan, we just kinda strolled around (debating Napoleon's in france...didn't happen still, too full) and a wander through the shops in United Kingdom.
     Having walked World Showcase it was time for us to make our way out of the park. Having to of course go through Mouse Gear and a browse at Pin Central. Wanting to say we atleast did something at Epcot, it was decided to do the big golf ball itself Spaceship Earth. Wait...also have to go through Art of Disney and look at all the stuff we'd like to buy and then realize we can never afford half of it. Finally, we ride Spaceship Earth and make sure we have a nice silly face for the on-ride photo and a randomly selected ending in which we pick things that describe neither of us. In a quick walkthrough (to tired to write more) that was our couple hours trip to Epcot.
