Hi folks.
Recovering from my surgery on Tuesday. It was not fun but it went well so now it's just rest and relaxation (and good drugs) for a week or so and hopefully I'll be back as close to normal as I can get. They went ahead and did the procedure even though I had a cold and cough and I think it is definitely impacting the time it is taking me to feel better. Well it's only been 3 days, but I'm impatient.

Hope everyone here is ready for a good weekend. East Coasters, I hope that the hurricane doesn't have a big impact on any of you.

Jeff

Impact here is that tomorrow's soccer games have already been cancelled.... calling for 5" of rain here along with winds of 45+ MPH... had to store all of our outside stuff, etc.

Glad to hear your surgery went well.

Hey Ed, It has started here tooo!!!!!!!! Headed down to Foxwoods tonight for a concert.. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the rain and all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nikkistevej]

Hello all!! It's been raining all day! We were supposed to be at a cookout- but it was postponed until tomorrow. So we took Jordan to ballet, and did a Wal Mart run, and went to lunch. We got soaked going to lunch though.

 

[caitlinsdad]

I did all my erands early and filled up the car before the rain started here.

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Hey, I hope all of you getting rained on don't get too wet!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Wow,

I go away for a few days and you close the old thread AND get up to 5 pages on the new one! LOL!

Its nice to see everyone had a great weekend and the cute back to school photos. I receive the bad mommy award, I didn't get any photos of DS yet. He just started 3rd grade I'll maybe try tomorrow...

We took an extended weekend trip down to Disneyland. Strangely familiar, but unfamiliar at the same time. (It is much closer to us than WDW, but we have spent more time at WDW than at DL). Finally on our last day, got to ride the new Toy Story Ride. Oh that is fun! So much fun. I hope they plan to take it to WDW too. Also saw the Aladdin theater production. It was great too. I'd watch that again. Took DD on The Matterhorn - think we may have scarred her for life. The ride itself is fun, but she is not into the theming! Only took 640 photos over the 6 days, so just a few of them to sort through! I'll get more next time, we plan to go back over winter break next year.

Have a good weekend everyone!

-Kay

Kay-

Your trip sounds nice!

Don't feel too bad about the bad mommy award. I haven't taken any either, and we are going in to week 3 of school. DS started 3rd grade and DD started 1st.

Last day of summer vacation here..... the boys are bummed! All the talk here is about all the tropical weather.... makes for some good bouncing on the ship!!

Don't you wish you were on one right now?!

Isn't it good timing for the Magic to be in dry dock right now?

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Hey Abby!!! it went amazing. it was great seeing my friends again and well the only bad thing is that i really wished i danced over the summer cause i am very very sore right now. LOL but im excited for the rest of this year

 

[nikkistevej]

Hey Abby, good to see you're keeping in touch!! How are the kids doing in school?

 

[nikkistevej]

Good afternoon all!! Did you guys see the ports that the Magicis going in 2010- supposed to be the Baltic(St. Petersburg, Amsterdam?, Denmark- interesting itineraries)- they have been speculating on the other threads- they are like private detectives.

Ed, Kristen and Harry (and anyone else close to NYC)

We are planning a trip to NYC for my daughter's 10th birthday. It's all that she wants as she has never been there. I know how to plan a trip for my wife and I but not with the kids (we also have a 4 year old). It started as her wanting to do the whole american girl thing but since her first asking for the trip she has pretty much lost interest in American Girl. Would like to see American Girl Place but doesn't want to do the tea or any of the other activities. She DOES want to go to Toys R Us in Times Square as I have told her about it many times. We are planning to buy advance seats for one show (her choice among Little Mermaid, Mary Poppins, Lion King and Wicked) and then try to score TIX booth for something else if possible.

We will likely do one "touristy" thing like the Statue of Liberty too.

What else should we be planning?

And re restaurants. I know where to go when it's just me and my wife as we have many favorite places but what about with kids.

We are likely staying at Jumeriah (the old Westin) Essex House on Central Park South.

I'm sure that once I hear some great ideas, I'll say, "of course..." but I'm just at a loss in planning.

Also, has Serendipity reopened? I heard they were closed down several months ago.

Thanks in advance to all who can help!
