Well, in an effort at team-building, espirit de corps, spreading the blame around ...
I put together a "draft touring plan" for our (meaning all 9 of us ...) day at the MK on December 7, with a goal of trying to reach some consensus on what our "priorities" would be for the day ...
Well, the only consensi [?] reached were:
(1) We're gonna hit the Main Street Bakery for breakfast/snacks ...
(2) I'm crazy ...
(3) We're gonna do whatever the kids want to do (yeah - like they know what they want to do ...)
(4) I'm really crazy ...
(5) The main priority is lunch at Cindy's Castle (OK - we're covered there ...), and
(6) I'm, really, REALLY,
REALLY Crazy!!
[So - what else is new ...?]
So - in response to my effort at getting everyone involved in the planning and psyched for the trip - I get picked on by my DW, SIL, and DW's cousin ... [revenge will be soooo sweet ....
they'll never see it coming ...
... just when they think they're safe ...
]
OK - so here's what I put together for our day, in general order of priority, time and weather permitting, assuming there aren't tooo many potty breaks, figuring on at least one major line somewhere, and hoping to run into Mary Poppins!! at least three times ... :
