Kurt’s Blog: Adventureland’s Hidden Gem

Yesterday was our first annual “Day of Adventure” that we do with 2 other friends of ours…8 kids…6 parents…7+ hours…and it was AWESOME.

I wake up this morning sunburnt…exhausted…and craving Adventureland’s hidden gem.

ad1I had always seen the little shop…but never had actually tried it…but our friend Lora said “whatever we do today, can we make sure we get a gyro…they’re the best here”.

She was right…barring a gyro you might be able to get outside of a bar at 2am (those are always amazing)….the gyros at Adventureland are fantastic.

The little eatery is right outside the River City Food Plaza (probably not the real name, I was too caught up in gyro goodness to pay attention, sorry)….it’s right across from Raging River…right before you cross the bridge to get to Adventure Bay.

They make them on the spot…and they’re so fresh that I had to wait a few minutes for it to cool off. So…good. I want one right now.

The Tzatziki (spell-checked it) was fantastic…the lamb was great…the pita was hot and toasty…the onions were grilled up perfect. I only had one…but could have had 3. Nay…4.

Mmm…gyros.

Fresh

The summer box office is booming — but not because of the usual suspects. After three weeks of indie horror dominance at the box office, the slasher spoof "Scary Movie" topped ticket sales with $55 million over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, easily besting the far-from-mighty "Masters of the Universe."

Carolina trails Vegas in the Stanley Cup Final and has a big decision to make for Game 4

Fresh

A sequence of events in a Stanley Cup Final that has gotten crazier by the minute has put the Carolina Hurricanes at a crossroads. They blew a two-goal lead and lost Game 1, erased a two-goal deficit and won Game 2, and rallied from down four goals in Game 3, only to lose in double overtime on a fluky bounce.
