Who Cares?

So we were driving down the highway system to Disney...which is nicer than the highways in Arkansas...go figure...and I decided to ask a question.

Me: Who pays for these roads...The state of FLORIDA OR DISNEY?


4 yr old in Back Seat: WHO CARES?


That ended that conversation because we were laughing so hard!

Day 1-Magic Kingdom

Can I just say...I'm tired!!!!!!!!!!!

We started the day at MAGIC KINGDOM. I think the kids were excited. We started in Fantasy Land and hit the Dumbo ride, then Snow White's Scary Adventure (which Addison cried and didn't want to go on), we went to Mickey's PhillarMagic Show which Addison cried some more and covered her ears...it was a great show. We went in the Haunted Mansion and didn't even try to take Addison. She cried in line for It's a Small World but then like it when she got on...I think that FIRE IN THE HOLE has tainted her view of rides. They rode the carousel also. When then ate lunch and headed on over to Liberty Square and rode the Riverboat. We were disappointed because the HALL of PRESIDENTS was closed for refurbishment.

We went on over to FRONTIERLAND...this may be one of my favs. Mom, Dad and Addison went to see the Country Bear show and we went on over to get in line for Splash Mountain. The line was long and we didn't have the tickets to do FASTPASS so we just waited in line. We met some great people who had a little boy that talked more than Logan...that made time go by a little faster. Logan absolutely LOVED it! We got off and there was no line so Eric went to go find Addison and my parents and Logan and I got in line again...it went much faster....He wanted to go again but I told him we would do Big Thunder Mountain. Addison got to watch the parade while we were in line the first time and she loved it! We got a FASTPASS this time for Big THunder Mountain and headed over to Tom Sawyer's Island. Addison didn't really care for the cave go figure even though she did great in the one in Branson. We finished up there and went back to BIG THUNDER MOUNTAIN RAILROAD. Dad, Logan and I walked right on in to this ride and had a great time. Great little rollercoaster!

We found Eric, Mom and Addison under some shade on a bench...we were all completely exhausted so we decided to go get ice cream and sit in some air conditioning but there were no seats so we headed to the car...the car that we can't help but find!

We came back went swimming and then went to eat at TGIFriday's. Came back, planned our next day and CRASHED. We are going to Animal Kingdom today.

We're having technical difficulties with pics...Our camera decided to die on us :( and mom's battery died on hers. Eric used his phone to take some pics so I'm going to try to get them on here but if I don't I'll get some later. Guess we might be getting that Rebel sooner than we thought.


Logan and I on Splash Mountain...



Mom, Addison and I on the train.

Are we There Yet?

Wow!!! What a day we have had. It started about 7:15 this morning when we headed to Little Rock to meet my parents. We then headed to Memphis to catch our flight…you all may think we are crazy to drive to Memphis to catch our flight but it was well worth it having a non-stop flight with 2 kids.

I don’t know how many times we heard…when are we going to be there?

When are we getting on the plane?

When will we be in Florida?

We ate lunch at the airport and finally were able to board the plane….the kids were super excited…they have never flown and I was super excited to see their reaction…It was priceless!

We arrived in Orlando and picked up our LUXURIOUS rental car…hehe…at least we won’t be able to miss it in the parking lot it’s BURNT ORANGE if you can’t tell from the picture.

Our resort is great…it’s even better when we figured out how close we are to Disney. We could stay here and never leave the resort except to get food. It has so really neat amenities I’m sure I’ll get to sometime this week.

We went to Wal-Mart to pick up breakfast, snacks, water, stroller, etc. Oh my goodness….I’m so glad I live in a small town…this was Wal-Mart gone mad….but I do know where to go to get cheap Disney souvenirs.

I’m off to hit the sack…looks like we are getting up early to work out….I can’t let vacation get me out of wack.

Logan thinks we are already at Disney…boy is he going to be surprised…Tomorrow we are off to the MAGIC KINGDOM.

Nashville Day 2 & 3

I got to sleep in...late...10:40. I probably would have slept later if it wasn't for Amber's text asking if I was up. We got up and went down for breakfast. I will say I got my money's worth at the buffet...my plate was full of eggs, bacon, hashbrown and more eggs. I could eat eggs with every meal.

We then decided to go to downtown Nashville since CMA Fest was going on. We saw some interesting things including this guy...



Notice the tent behind Kirk and Wes...




We also decided to stop at Panera's...I so wish I would have gotten something to eat but after eating my buffet breakfast I just couldn't go there.

We headed back to the hotel to get ready for the wedding. (The whole point in the trip). The bride was beautiful and the groom was pretty spiffy himself.





Our guys looked pretty good themselves.





We even got to dance...we don't get to do that very often!


We then headed back to Nashville, changed again and went down to see about getting a cab. There weren't any cabs but we could get a limo for $10 more...who wouldn't take the limo. It was fun. I haven't been in a limo since Senior Prom. Our poor limo driver...I hope we didn't traumatize him too much.

We headed to the Wild Horse and listened to some good music...did the YMCA and had a great time!

Day 3---Pretty much boring. We dropped Amber and Kirk off at the airport for their Super Fun rest of the week as we headed back home. Amber and Kirk we have decided are the life of the party!

Can't wait for our next couples trip!

My own little Scooby!

My son was comparing himself this morning to Scooby and Shaggy...he decided he was more like Scooby.

Reason #1: He likes to eat a lot and so do Scooby and Shaggy!

Reason#2: He can talk like Scooby!

Gotta love this boy!

Music City Fun! Day 1

So if you remember from our Branson trip, Amber beat me to the punch blogging about it so I just linked to her. So here it is... OUR TRIP DAY 1 by Amber.

My commentary...

Loads and Loads and Loads of Fun!!!! I don't think I have heard the hubby laugh so much in a long time!

Emerson Drive is HOT!!!! Collin Raye's guitarist is HOT!!!! There is just something about Cowboys!!! Was disappointed that Diamond Rio didn't show!

The Aquarium had the most awesome steak and mashed potatoes!

We were driving around looking for someplace and found the "Florist and Casket Shop". It's a all in one stop. We didn't think of taking a pic until after the fact and the men folks wouldn't turn around and take us back just for a picture.

Learned a lot and learned a lot more about our PEEPS...FO SHIZZLE!

Hold on just a minute.....

OK I'm back .... in less than 2 minutes.... give me a high five on that one!

Heart you Amber and Lisa and men! Had a blast!

My fun new purchase

Look what just came in the mail...I'm so excited about my purchase!!! I bought it off Amazon for $60 that included shipping. I said I would never get one but the others just don't work like a CHI...and for 1/2 the normal price...I couldn't pass it up!
