The Most Magical Place on Earth...

Well, I'm happy to report that we have officially "dried" out from our most recent trip to Disney World - aka the most "magical place on earth" and made it home, safe and sound! :) As our luck would have it, Florida was experiencing horrible flood-like rains the entire time we were there - go figure! (We should have known that something was in store for us considering that our luck seemed to be headed south (no pun intended) 10 hours before we took off for the sunshine state when Justin came home from his Wednesday night hockey league (code for beer league!) holding his side and in severe pain! Little did we know, he had broken 2 ribs...but of course, we wouldn't find this out until the week AFTER we arrived home! Poor guy!)

Anyway, back to our luck...so we land at Orlando airport and head to the luggage carousel to get our bags. Ann's bag - check. Brad's bag - check. Justin's bag - check. Amie's bag...NADA. Strike #2!! My bag was held at Detroit Metro by TSA (which we later learn is NOT the case but Spirit Airlines!) and will arrive later that night, after they have had a chance to go through it! Who would have known that my smuggling maternity clothes would have made me a target? LOL!! Thankfully, the next morning, my bag arrived, disheveled...but unharmed!!!

The next 3 days were spent dodging rains storms at the theme parks, all while uncovering the newest fashions in Florida (see poncho photo to the right!) However, the entire trip wasn't a complete washout - we did manage to catch a few rays in the early part of each day and had a great time taking in the sites!
I was a little nervous that I would get tired easily (it happened!) and that the heat would be too much (also happened!) but thankfully, it gave us an excuse to stop and sample appetizers in just about every location possible! Ha! We had some amazing food @ an Irish pub in Downtown Disney, in Germany, Mexico & Morocco (@ Epcot), and this great little Italian place in Hollywood Studios.
Needless to say we had a FABULOUS time on our last "adult only" trip and are looking forward to taking our little munchkin back once he can enjoy it!!
