sports hats

Walking around a theme park like Disneyland or Legoland, always I’ve had a certain difficulty of looking for topics, or even how and what I would write about, and for what. I don’t know why, but it is surely difficult to get a certain image of what I’ve encountered there, for example, in the course of my family vacation in this winter, especially with my son, of course.

This is the only story I can tell with a certain image, in the theme park, Disneyland.  

It was a rainy day in this winter, which may or may not be rare in here, Orlando, Florida, but the temperature on the day was a little bit unseasonably low at the time. In the evening, I and my son were rushing to one of restaurants in the park in order to be safe from the rain, and at the time, we both wore sports hats. In the restaurant, a female staff near the entrance door kept distributing a menu-card to each customer who happened to enter. When I said “hi” to her handing me a menu, she smiled us and said, “This is second time I saw you both”. 

With a big question mark on my head, I asked her how she could know that. Actually we came to this restaurant in the morning for a coffee break, but I thought both of us did not stand out from myriad people in the park, who were so diverse and coming from literally all over the world to enjoy themselves with ones of the most famously known and manufactured characters, at least in terms of business. She smiled again and said “Because you wear sports hats with a big “Legoland” logo on the front”. 

On the day before, we enjoyed the interlocking plastic bricks theme park, Legoland Florida. 

Orlando, Florida, all I can do is just walking around the theme parks. No brainer.
