Glad you're following along! Are you doing a TR
That picture is just adorable!
Fingers crossed you get to book it this year. A solo trip to POFQ sounds like great fun
Driving to the airport the night before is smart. My family is terrible and we never plan our travel day(s) that well.
Smart thinking on the fly!
I'm here!!!
Part 1 of travelling seemed to go very smoothly! I love all the pics of the boys in the hotel, they seemed to be having such fun. Little did they know what was to come!
I'm here! I"m probably just going to forget about trying to go back and catch up on your PTR and start fresh here.
Great start and I can't wait to see the reveal!
The boys look just happy as can be with their mini-vacation hotel trip I love Jake in the tray playing!! Hotel picnic dinners are some of my favs Can't wait to hear about the big reveal!!!!
Great trip so far!! Can't wait to hear about the reveal! I find it so funny though how kids seem to love staying in hotels so much that even if they really were just going to check into a hotel for the night that would have been awesome lol
I am! Bonus Holiday 2015 Would love to have you join me over there too !
I am so excited to see how the surprise went!!!
Here! I'd even love a one day getaway at this point in the Christmas season!
Woohoo! secret Disney night one looks good!!
Can't wait to see those sweet little grins for the reveal!
Travel Day 0 sounded like fun. I take my kids to Portland (closest city with major airport) all the time for shopping weekends. I might be able to spring a surprise trip on them. I did that a couple of years ago to Disneyland (but we were driving). Told them we were going to the cabin. They were kind of upset that they weren't going to the cabin, although they love Disneyland. Last summer, we couldn't go to Disney, but did a vacation to Seattle. I think the kids got a little excited every time I ended up driving near the airport. Nope, not a surprise trip to Disney kids.
Can't wait to hear how the surprise went.
I can't wait to read about the surprise! This trip sounds great, Christmas is my favorite time to go to Disney so I'm glad you were able to sneak in a quick trip to experience it. Can't wait to read more.
I see one of your cute new bows! I so need to do those for my next trip!
Oy vey.If you remember events from previous vacations with my in-laws, last minute plans and changes don't exactly thrill me...so more on this later.
ONLY 6.5 months in advance. You're SO SPONTANEOUS.This trip was somewhat "last minute" in that I only planned it 6.5 months in advance.
That is a child after my own nap-loving heart.
Seems legit. I mean, if you think about it, disposable coffee cups are nothing but sippie cups for grown-ups anyhow.That's chocolate milk in those disposable coffee ups. I was worried about spills with open bottles (thus the towel) and I didn't have cups in our overnight bag so this is what it was!
Kids are so weird.Jake found a comfortable spot, obviously.
Hey Jamie. Followed you over from Billie's thread and subbing in. Looks like the mini vacation was a great start to your vacation. Can't wait to see how the surprise goes and see all the Christmas beauty.
By the way gotta ask if you all went to VT? My hubby and I both did and I wasn't sure if you're just "hokie" or a "hokie." Love it either way ; )
I'm here, I'm here!

I called them out to the living room and Nate found the note right away. I told him to read it aloud and when he got to the end...nothing. Jim and I had to literally break it down for them but when they finally got it...pure magic! They were so excited! Here is the video link if you want to see the big moment!
GO HOKIES!!!!! Though I graduated a bit earlier than you, like ten years earlier, but graduated none the less ; ) I miss it too, it's been way too long (aka since my daughter was born) since we've been down there.YES! GO HOKIES! Both my husband and I went to VT. I graduated in 2006 with my BA and 2007 with my MAEd. My husband graduated in 2008. I miss Blacksburg! So good to meet another Hokie on here!!
Eye punch aside, this is an awesome video. Surprises are so much fun.f you watch to the end, you'll hear Nate say, "I'm so excited that I punched my eye out by accident!", and see him holding his hand over his eye. I have no idea how it happened, but he must have someone hit himself in the eye when he was jumping around. It was actually really red and he said things looked blurry. I was worried that we would need to visit an urgent care place but it cleared up and he said things looked normal on our drive to the airport. No eye trauma before a Disney trip!
What a great thing to have at the airport. Ours has nothing for kids.Soon, we were on the mini monorail of Pittsburgh and over to the terminal. We headed straight over to the play area to let the boys run off some energy!
Gets me every time and my daughter always has to take a photo with it ; )Does seeing this sign make anyone else just smile?
