Oh my goodness..your trip is right around the corner!! How can you stand it!!!!!!!????? I think i am just a WEEE bit excited to hear about it myself

I am loving all the "memory lane" pics too..and that cake looks great..nice work!

It't nice having other people excited about my trip too.

I'm dancing for you too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy SDD

Thanks for the dance Jackie. So cute.

I'm reading New Moon right now too!! I'm more than half way done. I'm not reading this one like a super speed demon like I did Twilight!

Yes!! You have a little over a week left!! Are you sooo excited!!?? I'm excited for you!!!

I finished New Moon last night & started on Eclipse this morning. I am determined to get as far as I can with this story before we leave.

Whoo hoo for single digits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, in March while we are there for the Ladies Only Trip. One of the ladies going knows a member and she was able to get a reservation for 8 for Sunday brunch. She invited me as a way to say thank you for planning and organizing the trip.

Yippe for single digits!!!!!!!
I cannot wait to read all about Club 33 courtesy of your wonderful trippie.

Yeah for single digits!!!!

It's hard to believe how close it is getting after waiting for it so long.

Ohh, I love your WDW pics. I bet it is so fun to just BE there. You know... just BE.
Too funny, you two!
New Moon: the All Jacob All the time channel!
I know you miss him!

It is really fun to just BE at WDW. I hope you get to visit sometime. I will send some your way that one day your wish will come true.
I did miss Edward in New Moon, but I kinda got to like Jacob too. Although I think my heart will ultimately belong to Edward though!

I cannot believe I have let myself get sucked in to this Twilight madness. My DH is getting great fun out of pestering me about it.

It has been perfect weather for reading about vampires the last couple of days......rainy, overcast, grey & cold.

Half marathon trip memories....

In January 2006 we headed to WDW for a quick trip. DH was going to run in the 1/2 marathon. We had our very first Welcome Home as DVCer's & stayed at the Boardwalk & got a great Boardwalk view.

We explored the Boardwalk. Had dinner at Spoodles. We had a drink in the Bellevue room & played a game of Scrabble.

Then we headed back to our room to watch Illuminations from our balcony.

Eric had to be up really early the next day & be at the start by 4am. I stayed all warm & cozy in the room, but was awoken by the fireworks that I could hear going off to start the 1/2 marathon. He came back all smiles & then proceeded to take a nap while I went to MGM to wander around for a few hours. I wanted to see the Narnia walk through exhibit. It was pretty neat to see the props from the movie.

I spent most of my time in One Man's Dream where I could just browse for hours.
We spent the afternoon at Downtown Disney & then had dinner at the California Grill where we watched the fireworks over the Magic Kingdom.

Oh, I am sooo jealous! I woke up this morning and opened my blinds. It was bright, sunny and blue skies. Ugh, awful. I promptly shut them again.

I try to tell people that and they just squint their eyebrows at me like I'm crazy!

Good weather can be VERY BORING!

Half marathon trip memories....

Good for you guys!

I spent most of my time in One Man's Dream where I could just browse for hours.

I love time alone doing what I want. I get it so infrequently that it is a big ole luxury. Of course, I also like the infrequency of it.

We spent the afternoon at Downtown Disney & then had dinner at the California Grill where we watched the fireworks over the Magic Kingdom.

Yummy! I hear the cheese plate there is very good.

Pakced yet, or are you still reading Eclipse??


I read them all really close together so I have a hard time remember what's what anymore! I want to re-read so I can join you. LOL

 

[Golfing Goofy]

I am so glad that I found your TR. I am so excited for you and cannot wait to hear all about your trip.

Have fun!!!

Seems weird huh????? I am looking forward to the warmer weather in Cali.

I am over the moon excited Sarah. Thanks for dancing with me.

I am not packed yet......but am determined to finish the books before we leave. I have about 1/3 of Eclipse left. Going to see Twilight today with my brother. We will pack on Sunday probably-I have a list, but usually don't pack until the day before we leave. I can't believe I will be in Cali next Monday.

I am so glad that I found your TR. I am so excited for you and cannot wait to hear all about your trip.

Have fun!!!

Golfing Goofy. Glad you found me too!!!!!!!!!

A couple more memories from the Jan 2006 1/2 marathon trip....

The next morning they were running the full marathon. We had breakfast planned at Cape May at the Beach Club & saw runners on the way to breakfast. They were in their final bit & looked tired, but happy as they made their way toward the international gateway into EPCOT. It was cool being able to cheer them on.

We had a wonderful breakfast with Minnie & friends.

We then headed to Vero Beach for a relaxing couple of days for DH to recuperate after the 1/2 marathon.

We had a beautiful view of the ocean from our room & really enjoyed just relaxing at this very cool resort before heading back home. I really want to go back there soon.

It was warm enough to get in the pool & splash around on our last day.

We really enjoyed this quick trip & Eric enjoyed doing his first race. I would love to get myself in good enough shape to walk the 1/2 as he said it was really cool to be able to run through the castle & down Main Street with people cheering you on. Maybe 2010!!!!!!!!!!

That would be cool.

Did I hear you say you are at DL on another thread??? Are you gone already???

Snuck out without saying goodbye! LOL I can't keep up with all those tickers!

WOoo hoo you!!

Very good Dan!!!!!! Are you about ready to go???????

That would be cool.

Yes it would. I was going to do it that year with him, but just wasn't able to get the training in I needed to.

WOoo hoo you!!

Nope, I'm still here..........I don't leave until next Monday. 6 more days!!!!!!!!!!!

I was gone.......but just to see Twilight with my brother. Which, I thought was pretty good all things considered (having to fit it all in under 2 hrs).

Here's what it did at my house while I was gone........I know this is a tiny, tiny, pitiful amount of snow.......but here it is exciting because we don't get much at all.

Love your rocking chairs they would look lovely outside mine

[wendylady36]

[travelmel]

Love your snow pic! Cute house, BTW! After seeing your "giving thanks" pic I imagine you in the woods.. is that true?

Thanks Jackie.......they are nice to sit in on a day when the weather is nice. My Mom gave us those rocking chairs as a wedding gift.
We may be taking a lap top so DH can check his work email (ugh) but if we do then I might be able to do a live update or two.

Your puppy is SO cute!!!!

So where are we meeting again?

Thanks........she is spoiled rotten, but I love her.
Let's see......wanna meet in front of the castle???????

Love your snow pic! Cute house, BTW! After seeing your "giving thanks" pic I imagine you in the woods.. is that true?

Thanks Melissa. It was just a tiny bit of snow, but exciting none the less. As I was driving to meet my brother to see Twilight yesterday it was so weird, because it would snow like crazy then stop & the sun would come out. Did that off & on all day. We still have the same amout of snow left this morning. There are woods behind the house & the lot next to ours that we bought as well is all woods.

December 2006 trip.
So I am going to post a few of my scrapbook pages from this trip to kind of change it up a bit.
I love to scrapbook........especially my Disney memories.

This trip was us & my Mom & Dad. We flew down the day before our 4 day Disney Wonder cruise was to start & stayed at the Boardwalk. We enjoyed a day in Epcot with a wonderful dinner at Le Cellier. My Dad (who is not a Disney person) even enjoyed himself. He loved the cruise too by the way.......I was amazed.

Christmas decorations.........

Up next......aboard the Wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[wendylady36]

What great scrapbook pages! I'm still trying to find the time to put my Disneyland trip photos together from a trip 3 years ago.

You better come home with tons of photos and sit on your computer for as long as it takes, uploading them and posting them!
