If you’re like me a movie captured your heart in 2001 loosely based off of the 1990’s book with the same title. With a ton of witty banter, well-written puns and masterfully woven stories that led to a lengthy series and multiple spin offs. Give up yet…It’s none other than the big Ogre himself, Shrek! Yes, who would have thought 20+ years later there is still huge fanfare for the green guy. I’m not sure if this is a carefully timed ploy for another sequel to the franchise from Dreamworks. While I’m excited to hear about a possible film, I’m more thrilled to experience it for myself at the swamp with a Shrek inspired Airbnb.
