I grew up only 90 minutes from Block Island, Rhode Island’s summer getaway, but never went there. The excuse always was, “I can go there anytime”. While a valid excuse, it turns out anytime meant never. I took it for granted. And now that I live in Orlando, I can’t just take a day trip to Block Island. So on a recent trip home to Massachusetts, my brother and I visited this tiny island off Rhode Island’s Coast.
(not that you’d have lions in your home anyway. And if you did, you should put them back where you found them)
Isn’t that lion cub cute? Don’t you want to pick him up and cuddle with him? It’s tough to believe that soft, smiling ball of fur will grow up to be the King of the Jungle and one of the most ferocious animals on land.
Where can you Walk with Lions?
When I was in South Africa last October, I spent a few nights at the Protea Hotel The Ranch in Polokwane. For the brave adventurer, they offer a Lion Walk on their reserve.
A friend of mine on twitter, @HappyHomeStager shared an exciting event with me Friday afternoon. In honor of International Pillow Fighting Day, Orlando was organizing a giant pillow fight called Pillowlando. Who could pass this up? I immediately put out a call for friends to join me. You may have even seen my early-morning, Saturday post.
Pillow fighting was spectacular. Take a look in this YouTube video.
The event was as organic as it looked. People showed up with their pillows, stood around until the whistle blew, hit everyone they could with pillows and then stopped when it was over. Pure magic!
Hurry! There’s a Pillow Fight Happening in Downtown Orlando Today
(and possibly in your community too)
Check it out in this YouTube video!
Brian Feldman, of Brian Feldman Projects is organizing a Pillow Fight today on Wall St. Plaza. It’s part of a worldwide celebration of Pillow Fights. If you’re interested in attending, accept his Facebook Event Invitation here. The invitation has all the details, rules and directions to have a great afternoon. I’ll be there at 5 P.M. sharp. Look for me with the Zebra Pillow Case and say hi! I’d love to grab a few interviews while I’m there.
