Away

We've been away...visiting the happiest place on Earth! If you've been around this blog for a while you may remember that we had planned a 10 day cruise around the Greek isles. We got a little uneasy about leaving the little man for that long, so we cancelled it. I told John he could choose anywhere he wanted to go for his graduation trip (even though he graduated in December, summer is a better time for me to travel). He of course chose Disney...I knew he would and I was totally okay with it! We are not beach people. I mean I can lay on the beach and read a book ALL day, but John cannot so the beach is not a great choice for just us by ourselves. Disney was just as magical as the last time we were there and not much changed...

Disney World-March 2007

Disney World - June 2010
The day before, he actually ate a Mickey Ears (John is obsessed with them) and had on the same Auburn shirt that he is wearing in the '07 pic. I was so mad I didn't think to snap a picture the day before....some things never change.

We had a blast catching up with some of our old friends, and Will's friends alike...

While this picture is not flattering of me in the least bit, I had to post it because it was so funny. We were at Hollywood Studios and turned a corner and there stood Handy Manny. Will loves the show so I convinced John that we should get in line to have our picture made with him. We were walking up to him and Handy Manny just grabbed my hand and started dancing with me. I didn't know what else to do but just crack up!

We had some fun acting like goof balls....

Woody and Buzz were right outside of our hotel room... that is me on Buzz's shoe...they were enormous!

This was a kid free trip, which was so nice to just have some one on one time with each other. This is really how we act most of the time, like goof balls. But sometimes life can get so hectic and crazy that you forget how to be that way with each other.

Foggy and not a great shot, but pretty much the only one we have of the 2 of us...Am I the only one that wishes a ZAP person could follow me around on vacation so I wouldn't have to worry about taking the pictures, but also so I could be in them :)

I will leave you with what I feel is the funniest picture from the whole trip. We flew into Orlando on Sunday and had park hopper tickets for Monday-Wednesday. Monday morning we woke up at 6am (5am Bham time), got ready, and were on the bus at 7am headed to Animal Kingdom. It opened at 8am for guests who stayed on resort, so we wanted to take full advantage of the early open time. When we got there, there were maybe 10 other people waiting...we should have been so tired, but we were too excited!! This is the first picture we took-John just outside of Animal Kingdom acting like he is looking at a watch because it was so dang early :)
