I am going to do a reply and then go back and finish reading. I have been trying to keep up but the past few weeks have been insane. Right now, I am curled up in my favorite chair with a cup of delicious coffe and my iPad. Except for the news that I have on, my house is silent. Not a creature is stirring....... I love having my weekend mornings like this. I haven't had the chance in quite a while!
Jenny - GWL was great. We love it. This was my third trip with the kids and dh's first time to go with us. It's nice because everything is contained so the kids can go ride the rides as long as they are in pairs and not everyone has to trek everywhere together. I will say, as much as I miss when my kids were little, it's nice having kids that are a bit older!
Dani - my parents got us a Vitamix last year for Christmas. I was shocked. We had fallen in love with it when we saw it at the state fair. I thought it would be a great way to eat better. I was saving up my bonus "gift cards" from work to get one. But they surprised us. I love it. The smoothies are amazing. I've also made some good soups. It's a great way to use up produce. In fact, I need to make smoothies for breakfast today. I have a great crepe recipe for crepes too. How can we find each other on Pinterest? I want to see what you have found!
Wookie - I love to cook too! I am struggling with our schedules right now because it is hard to find time before the kids' evening activities. That shrimp recipe sounds amazing. I need to make that. You make dinner every night for your whole household, right?
Pas - no trips planned? I am feeling your pain. I know we are going to do an adult trip in October but I can't figure out where to put a family trip.
Miss E - I haven't been able to justify the APs yet. I want to but now that oldest dd is starting high school, I think our trips will get shorter. Last year, we had 14 days in a calendar year. But we had
free dining both times so probably better we didn't have the APs. Dh didn't want to discuss it during the first trip so..... Well later, one if his customers told him that if we go every year, you just bump the second trip up so that they fall in the same 12 months. We went in November and then in October. So anyway, he comes home and tells me what his customer said. I just rolled my eyes. I think someone tried to tell you that......lol
Mouse mommy - your touring style sounds very similar to ours. I am an early riser but the rest of my family likes to take their time getting out of bed. I don't mind the quiet time to enjoy my coffee or take a bath! It's not worth it to me to rush them for rope drop! We do usually have 2-3 early breakfasts so we get up early those days. But still not at rope drop since we are going to a restaurant. I think there are a lot of rope droppers on the Dis. Sometimes I feel inferior. A lot of people say you shouldn't bother going if you aren't going to do rope drop. Ack!!! We have fun doing it our way!
Melissa - I need to follow you too on Pinterest. All of this cooking talk is making me hungry!
Ginny - so did you use points for your airfare - awesome!! Love your split!
Hi to Everyone! I am going to get a fresh coffee and finish reading!
