Pictures From Disney...

Here are a few (well, 16 to be exact) pictures of our trip to Disney World in Florida where the girls marched in The Main Street Parade with their school.

These first 2 pictures are for all the Walton's fans out there from this post. We drove down to Florida from New England. We took interstate 81 through the Shenandoah Valley. We cut through Virginia to get back on interstate 95. We didn't get to stop at the Walton's museum, because it was too far off the beaten path...we were on a Disney mission. However, I did get to snap a few pictures of these highway signs. Only a Walton's fan will get this. If you click on the first one, you'll see Waynesboro and Charlottesville. These signs cracked me up!!!




Onto Disney pics...

Cinderella's castle of course

The day of the parade was raining so hard you couldn't see. There were tornado warnings and all. Here we are under a little awning trying to stay try and keep the girls' parade hair perfect!! We were waiting for the ok from Disney that the parade was still on.


Woo Hoo...the rain stopped. Courtney and Kelsie are the first 2 in the long line on the right. They were beyond excited!




Sorry it's the back of Mickey, not fast enough with the camera.



Can't forget Minnie.





The girls on the Dumbo ride...never too old for Dumbo. This ride has a family story with it, so they really wanted to go on. Maybe I'll tell you another time...it's a long story.



It was the flower and garden show at Epcot. Beautiful flowers every where. The girls loved these because they looked like gum drops. They also had life size figures of all the Disney characters made with flower...they were beautiful.



Here is the view from our hotel balcony. We stayed at The Wilderness Lodge in Magic Kingdom.



Here's the family in the hotel lobby.




These were sculptures at the Contemporary hotel where you could take pictures.





A picture show wouldn't be complete if I didn't show you a tile walkway that could be a quilt!!




Fireworks over the castle. We had a wonderful time with great memories. I hope you enjoyed the little show and I didn't bore you too much.

Have a wonderful day,

We're Back...

Hi everyone! We made it back from Disney late Saturday night after 15 hours in the car...worst traffic ever. The girls watched 7 movies!! We were a little slap happy at times, but it was fun and we laughed alot. Sunday was spent unpacking and doing laundry. I have lots of pictures and stories to tell, but I wanted to say thank you for all the messages I've received since we've been gone. I have alot of catching up to do with emails and saying hi to some new followers to my blog. I really missed blogging and chatting with everyone! I have an easy Tool Time Tuesday for tomorrow, because my brain is still fried from the trip. I think I left it somewhere on the New Jersey Turnpike!!

Well, I'm off to work. Hope you all have a great day and see you for TTT.

Just a quick note...

Hi everyone...this is my first chance to say hi on our ride down to Florida. We'll be in Disney in an hour. We had a great ride through the Shenandoah Mountains...so beautiful. I think I've gained 5 pounds eating junk in the car. My thigh muscles, however, are rock hard trying to suspend myself over the rest area toilets. You all know that feeling!!!

We spent a relaxing day at the beach yesterday at Daytona Beach Shores. Now it's off to a busy week in Disney. The girls will march in the 2:00 Main St. Parade on Tuesday. The weather is saying 60% chance of rain...so please pray for sun.

Talk to you soon,
