Dancing around the world~One pole at a time~~~Return of the prodigal trip reporter...

Last weekend Hunter and i went to the seattle area for a bowling tournament. It was his first one with this team. He had a blast and ranked 1st in doubles and 5th in singles, plus he won some scholorship money!:banana:

On sunday morning, before we made the 3 hour drive home we had a special treat!! We got to have breakfast with Cynthia (eandesmom) and her son Evan.

The boys hit it off and had a great time! They were laughing and joking around...

I was trying so hard to get the spoons to stay in place.:rotfl:

When we left we realized we had been there for almost 3 hours but it only felt like 1. It was so much fun to "meet"! It was like catching up with an old friend. Cynthia is as sweet and funny in person as she is on the dis.:goodvibes:goodvibes

Hunter and Evan had fun with the cameras.:rolleyes:

After we got in the car to leave Hunter asked me how soon he could see Evan again.:laughing: I guess i need another reason to visit Seattle.:rolleyes1








AWESOME for Hunter!!!!!!!!! :cheer2:

How cool that you got to meet EandEsmom!! Looks like you guys all had a great time.
 
After my relaxing nap durring the movie and some more shopping we made our way to Epcot for our dinner adr at Tuotto Italia. I love that place....mmmmm makes me drool just thinking about it.

D.jay's yummy meal

my superior plate

We had the funniest server here. His accent was so thick I would just nod and pray I wasn't asking for the seafood surprise. He reminded me of an Italian leprechaun and would pop out of no where. Seriously. It was like he was hiding around the corner and would come up behind me when I was taking a drink or just putting food in my mouth.

Imagine having Bruno tonioli, from dancing with the stars , as your waiter...just a little less fabulous.:laughing:

My favorite dessert at disneyworld is this.....

Zambiglone cream ice cream with chocolate sauce and berries.

As usual, we were waddling by the time we were done eating, the sign of a great meal.:thumbsup2

We paused on our way over to MK for a picture.

We met up with Rosie and Jordan at MK for emh....look what I caught them doing..

2009-04-27118.jpg


After they collect their dollar bills, we met Cherie and family, then we were off to Tomorrowland for a ride on buzz.

I took a picture of Rosie and Jordan just incase security would later need a wanted poster made.

next it was time for a ride on the people mover....

looks like Cherie's eyes go from blue to red at night...:eek:

2009-04-27124.jpg


look how sweet and innocent she looks
2009-04-27126.jpg


look how sweet and innocent he dosen't look

2009-04-27127.jpg


D.Jay and Rosie relaxed while Jordan, Cherie and I rode S&M.
In line we were talking about the ride and I mentioned that I hate being in front because I felt like I was going to be decapitated at any minute. When someone's in front of me I figure I'll have time to duck when I hear the scream in front.:laughing:

Just our luck we ended up with the front car and Jordan being the chivalrous gentlemen rode in front and entertained us durring the ride with his screams.:laughing:

We soon split ways with Cherie and her family and we continued on to BTMR. rosie had an oxygen break while the 3 of us rode.

We later found ourselves outside the haunted mansion....alone. I normaly think it's creepy there but at night...alone....it was C R E E P Y.
D.Jay and Rosie thought it was pretty funny that Jordan and I were creeped out. In fact, Rosie stated that she was raised in a cemetery.:laughing:

look how scared we are
2009-04-27130.jpg


After 5 minutes or so a family came up behind us and we didn't feel quite so weird, untill we were in the stretching room with only 8 people....


up next.....falafel....or f-awful...


:rotfl2: What the heck was I doing in that picture??

I believe SM= SPACE MOUNTAIN!! What was on YOUR mind when you typed S&M??? :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

With Jordan being in the front seat, then Cherie, then me.....I think the SM ride sounded something like this.... "AAAHHHH!!!!"......."EEEEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!"
Our screams always followed his and then we'd all crack up laughing. It was a fun and stressful ride.
 

:rotfl2: What the heck was I doing in that picture??

That isn't the half of the picture of you Cherie. If you take the picture, zoom in on your face, and see how a picture can really change. It's a whole new you!!!! :lmao::lmao:

... And yes, I did place those ice creams where they were. Cherie (my wife) gave me "the look" before taking the picture. I thought it was :lmao::rotfl2::happytv::rotfl::laughing: :rolleyes1

Instead of doing hand gestures showing how much I enjoyed it, I just use the food. (if you know what I mean):lmao:
 
AWESOME for Hunter!!!!!!!!! :cheer2:

How cool that you got to meet EandEsmom!! Looks like you guys all had a great time.
He made $150 in scholarships!

Oh and Winkers...Those raspberries look perfectly placed....:rolleyes1:rotfl2:
yes, d.Jay placed them just so...

well, I was listening to Oprah at the time...

That was a CRAZY ride. Next time Blue, you're in front.
:rotfl:

Ummmm......H-E-double hockey sticks...NO!!! :rotfl2: I kinda like my head thankyouverymuch! I'm sort of like.....attached to it. :thumbsup2

:lmao::lmao:
 
I have to say your food from dinner looks devine. I'll have to put it on the list for next time. We haven't been there since they changed over from Alfredos. Love the pole dancing picture and "naughty" Jordan.

Congrats to Hunter! So glad you had fun with Hunter and got in a Dis meet.

Tutto is so fabulous -- love the food and the waiters there! :laughing: I will have to remember that dessert you had -- it looks delicious!!!
