Taking A Surprise Trip
It's harder than it seems...and so much fun if you can pull it off. I was worried. Madison is pretty sneaky and could have easily discovered our plans. There were several times that it almost slipped out. It kind of felt like we were International Spies, tasked with carrying sensitive information. We found ourselves talking in code around the kids.
But if you're looking at a map, trying to find a nice place to go for a week in the summer, well, there are other places that would serve you better.
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Do it. You will not find a cooler hotel than this anywhere. Seriously, if the pool didn't convince you, there are giraffes outside your window. Giraffes!
I would have stopped writing trip reports long ago if it hadn't been for you! Thank you so much for spending your time with me. It really means a lot to me!
Thanks Kathy, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and you're right, we never would have met otherwise.Barry, I thoroughly enjoyed this report and am so looking forward to the new one (I've already subscribed). And becuase I've read your reports, I got to meet you and Mark and the boys.
And you don't have to tell me twice...23 days and I'll be at the AKL sitting on my balcony with my coffee and watching those giraffes.
Thanks for the kind words. Usually when I'm compared to horse poop, it's a bad thing. It's feels good to turn it around for once!Thanks for sharing Mr. B!
You are a very gifted writer and I've enjoyed this report more than a June bug in a pile of horse droppins' ! If y'all are ever down this way again, give me a heads-up!
Best wishes for the (ever-expanding) family!
Thanks! Feel free to live vicariously as much as you want! Theres plenty of room for everyone in our virtual family!I thoroughly enjoyed your TR and was sad to see it come to an end.
Until I saw that you have a 2 week (!) TR in the works!
(I don't have any trips planned and plan to live vicariously through you )
And last but not least, congratulations to you and Bambi on the new baby!
Thanks Glenn! I'm glad you enjoyed it!Great job Barry! It was a lot of fun following along on the adventures of such a nice family.
Great! The more the merrier over there!This was such a fun ride.
Thanks and I am heading over to the new one.
It's like this one never ended - we just took a break at home for a little while.I don't like trip reports ending but yay starting a new one... This one was great so hopping over there now
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I'll try to have the next one be at least close to as fun. Maybe more.I thoroughly enjoyed reading your trip report. You have a lovely family and a new Disney baby on the way! I'll be following along on your next adventure.
I hope to start it soon. I think I've got 3 pages of people subscribing. That's a lot of pressure!Thanks for writing such an entertaining TR Barry! I have thoroughly enjoyed it. You have a beautiful family, love seeing all those pictures, and I can't wait to start in reading your next report!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip & family. Can't wait to read the next one.
You can always get one of those dog collars that shock you when you start making noise.Julie has already pegged me on this one. It will be much easier for her to keep a secret than me. I'm terrible at it. I can never resist dropping hints. She's going to have to get a taser of her own.
Yes, but Houston is kind of out of the way for a road trip if it's not your destination.Sounds like the kind of place you stop in for a day on a road trip.
I highly recommend it!And....squirrel! I really, really hope we get to stay there someday.
I guess I can't argue with that logic, can I.You can't stop writing trip reports. Your trip reports are awesome. Besides, if you hadn't written trip reports, I'd never have gotten to know you or your family, and we'd never have met...
I have to warn you, though. After 4 reports, I think I'm going to have to start recycling some jokes. And most of the weren't that funny the first time.Well, besides that hiccup, I'd say they only produce positive results. Your writing is hilarious. Your pictures are terrific. You provide a lot of great tips, and you have an awesome family. I'm already looking forward to the next one.
It's pretty easy to get hooked on Disney, isn't it? Glad you enjoyed the report and the nice words!Just finished reading... LOVED it! We're fellow Wisconsinites... went to Disney in May for our first time ever and we are hooked! Headed back next May Thanks for the pictures. Your children are BEAUTIFUL!
