This was a long day. We started by getting up early for extra magic hours at Hollywood Studios and ended by closing down Animal Kingdom without having dinner. Kids finally ate around 10, John and I at Midnight. We got to Hollywood Studios right as they opened. Slinky Dog Dash is the hot attraction and…
In a perfect world, I would have done two park days and then a down day and then two more park days. However, that isn’t the way this trip was working out and we did not want any part of a Disney park on a Saturday, so today became our day of rest. Last night,…
Starting from the time we pulled in, I was struck by many of the details that Disney doesn’t let slide. For example, we pulled into Fort Wilderness and pulled to a security booth and Trista at the bench right behind me and visible to the security guard, who immediately looked up to her and said,…
Back to blogging. It has been a nice break from nightly blogging, but I am anxious to get it all caught up. So many fun stories from our time at Disney. I plan to blog these as if I had done it each night. I kept good notes and the pictures are organized that way,…
We have arrived safely in Florida! Unlike Maryland, Florida not only welcomed us… They welcomed us with free orange juice! And the tornadoiest (I made up this word, seemed appropriate) skies I have ever seen (took Meteorology in college, didn’t do so well). I will post this picture I took, you can decide for yourself.…
Don’t mean the one that the country song sings about either! Carkeet Caravan is going DISNEY! We check in today! I am not planning to blog during our time at Disney. We are driving to Orlando and checking in this afternoon. I will try to make a post that we made it. We paid for…
I realize that I did not blog yesterday, it was not one of our finer days. Five weeks on the road, together 24/7, in a confined space combined with the urgency of trying to get all of our work and school work done before Disney is starting to take its toll. I will say that…
A couple of really cool things happened today, but there isn’t a ton to write about. We packed up this morning and we heard from a lot of family members who called to wish Levi a Happy Birthday. We even got to Skype with Me-Maw and Grandpa Nanny before we headed out for the day. …
Levi is FOUR! I just don’t know where the time has gone! Our lives have been so blessed by this snuggly, kind-hearted gentleman! Happy Birthday, Bubba-Dude! (And when it is your 4th birthday and you plan to be in the RV most of the day, you get to wear your new spacesuit ALL DAY)!
So, you want to know how today went. Confession time: I have sort of been dreading this day since before I married John. He has always talked about wanting to go to Colonial Williamsburg and today was the day. Most of the time, John and I have similar taste in activities, entertainment, etc. This whole…
I know I didn’t update the blog for two whole days, but it was because we were busy, busy, as you can now read about. Today wasn’t particularly eventful. We packed up and left Cherry Hill Park and headed toward Williamsburg, VA via the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel. The most exciting bit of news…
For anyone who noticed, we were only supposed to be in DC for 4 nights. Then we extended a night for yesterday and then yesterday we decided to extend another night for today. We could spend a ton of time here, there is so much to see and do! Today we were better organized, we…
