The CK Daily – A Stay-At-Home Summer & a Quick Stop at Disney ✨
Hello! I hope you all are having a great week!
The last time I wrote to you I noted that I planned on getting some projects done around the house, doing yardwork <<>> and a tubing trip up in Helen, GA during the summer months.
We haven’t made our tubing trip up to Helen yet, but it is in the calendar for July. It has been a stay-at-home type of summer for our family so far, but we did manage to have some fun in the sun at Margaritaville’s Lake Lanier Islands Water Park last Friday. A friend of mine and I took our kids and a few of their friends to the waterpark for the day and they had the best time! There they have waterslides, an over-the-water obstacle course, a wave pool attraction, restaurants, Jimmy Buffet playing on a mega screen all day, and so much more. If you are ever visiting the North GA area, you should check it out!
In July, I’m looking forward to traveling to Orlando for a few days with my family. I’ve previously mentioned that both of my kids play soccer year-round and will be participating in a tournament down there. I’m excited about that experience, but for those who know me well, you know that means at least one park day at Disney! The struggle is narrowing down which park to visit; my absolute favorite ride at all four parks is Guardians of the Galaxy at Epcot but my favorite park is Magic Kingdom. For my fellow Disney fans, how do you rate the parks in order and why?
Have a magical day!

Networking, ultimately, is about the communication between computerized devices. Thinking in such simple terms can help you nail design and philosophy elements when you run your own network, and that can translate to faster speeds and better reliability and security.
