Vacation
Well, as you all know by now I have returned from my last vacation for awhile and it was a good one! We decided, we being my mom, dad, sister, brother in law and I, to take my nephews twins that are 3 and a 2 yr old to walt disney world. For those of you who don't know my family pretty much lives there this was my 16 trip to the world according to the reservation people. I was a little worried about the trip because I wasn't sure how well the little ones would do, but they were awesome! We had such a great trip, and it was a ton of fun. So here are some highlights.
Plane trip
We flew southwest and the trip going was awesome our plane even landed early. I sat with my brother in law, and Tate(one of the twins) my mom and dad had Caden(the 2 yr old), and my sister had trey the other twin. They were very good on the plane! Which was surprising because last time we went with the twins they were 1 and Tate cried the whole way. This time they colored, watched out the window, and played with sticker books. After arriving in Orlando we had to wait for our Disney Magic Express bus to pick us up then it was off to Disney World!
Every time we go to Disney we stay on Disney Grounds, and this time we stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort, it's a nice hotel that is divided into islands, we stayed on Martinque. Each Island had their own private pool as well as the main pool so that was nice, as well as your own private beach. The boys loved the beach! Then we hit Magic Kingdom for our first park! Unfortunately it didn't start out great for Tate, as he was really scared after getting off Jungle Cruise, it was hard to convince him those plastic animals we saw weren't real. Obviously then we had to try and pick attractions that didn't have animals for Tate. Their favorite attraction at Magic Kingdom was Buzz Lightyear's space ranger ride. Where you go around and shoot Zorg! It was pretty cool, I got a score of 38,000 for my high. Not very good though :( They loved Magic Kingdom so obviously we went back many times during our stay. We also spent tons of money on Buzz Lightyear toys, Trey wanted Zorg to get his own seat on the plane ride home.
Probably the highlight of the trip for the boys anyway was at EPCOT when we did the Living Seas. They love fish and Finding Nemo, and well most of you know I have a MAJOR fear of fish, but I sucked it up and went in. After being surrounded by the enclosed aquariums, I freaked out a tad and chose to wait in the lobby haha!! The boys though loved it and we were lucky to be there right at feeding time, so they got to see how the fish were fed there. They kept saying there goes Nemo, dory, bloat, crush, etc etc. Needless to say plenty of money was spent in that gift shop as well. My mom, dad, and I went out one night on our own and hit EPCOT and did all the fun attractions, and watched illuminations which is really cool! That's the nice thing about staying at a Disney resort each night one of the parks stays open later for resort guests. We also did a character lunch at EPCOT, and Trey was in heaven because he loves the characters, we saw Chip, Dale, Pluto, and Mickey!
My brother in law, and I got a day to go to do the fun thrill rides, and obviously we hit tower of terror, and the roller coaster at MGM, as well as test track at EPCOT. I could not talk him into riding Mission Space the big wimp! He freaked me out a little on Tower of Terror, which is a free fall ride, because he was like really nervous on the ride, I have never seen him like that. We had a good time, and I think it was good for him to get a break as well. The day we hit Animal Kingdom they let us ride the new roller coaster there, and it was awesome! We got chased by a Yeti. My dad and I also caught the Lion King show there, it's so good! Going home we got stuck in a downpour and got soaked!
Plane ride home wasn't too bad. We were delayed 20 mins but it seemed to be a much quicker flight then the one going. This time I sat the with Trey, and my dad. The boys were very particular on where everyone was to sit and I had strict orders to sit with trey. It was a great trip, lots of more stuff happened but this is already too long :) Back to work for me! I totally need a vacation from my vacation.
BTW the purdue score was 60-35 Boilers win! Boiler Nation is in a state of panic though because it was too close. I hope it was just first game jitters, and I think I am glad I missed this game. Although would have been cool to see the throw back uniforms. I will be there this Sat though when we take on Miami OH! GO BOILERS! :)
Have a great Humpday!
Phats
