DDA Chapter 22

[Steffy]

Hi DDA! I haven't read a thing. I'm waitinbg on my buddies to get dressed so we can do breakfast and head over to EPCOT.

Anyway, Sunday we got a late start, but went over to Animal Kingdom. We looked around the Oasis, took our merry time and checked out each bird.

Finally made it to Flame Tree barbeque and had the ribs. yum. Then we slowly walked over to Africia. I could not believe how empty the park was. The safari was a walk on. So we walked on! Even though it was close to 2:00, the safari was great. Lots of animals. Even the lion was sleeping on his rock. We walked out and got a frozen lemonade. Soaked in the atmosphere.

Cindy needed a nap, so we got to the bus and went home to OKW.

The heavens opened and it lightning and thundered for a couple of hours. We were hungry about 7:30 when she woke up, so we made it over to the MK. We watched Spectromagic, and then went to Peco Bills for barbeque and cheeseburgers. When we left there, Wishes (10:00pm) was starting so we didn't have a good place to watch. We finally got back to OKW close to midnight.

It was a fun and relaxing day.

Debbie - those are great pictures of Illuminations, and I love Aubrey's First Disney Bear! Did you get that this trip?

Thanks, I need to filter the noise from them, yes, I bought it while DH was napping.

Steffy glad you're having a good time!

Monday was moving day. I called bell services and asked them to take all our stuff to Saratoga Springs. We got on the bus to AK and then took the bus to AKL. Finally, after all of these trips, I finally made it to Boma's for breakfast.!! Yum!!!!

After breakfast we shopped in the store and then took the bus to Downtown Disney and the bus to SSR. We got to the resort and had the best CM ever. She made sure we got Congress Park, DTD view, close to bus, pool and hot tub. Perfect in every way! When we got to our room we didn't have time to unpack before Debbie got here! Woo!

So we took the boats to Wolfgang Puck and had a wonderful dinner. Then Debbie and I saw Diana's dresses. We got back to SSR and hot the hot tub and pool. And bed! We had an early wake up for Tuesday!

Well, they are dressed. Off to breakfast and EPCOT!!!

Our portion sizes were fine, and the chicken has always been good. Our problem with Disney dining is the fact that we just aren't very adventurous, DH is a meat and potatos kind of guy, and I have problems with my restrictions finding sides that will do, when you take out potatos and white rice your sides are very limited. That was my problem with Ohana, I ended up with meat and broccoli, but the sugar free dessert there was very good.

DH doesn't know it but he's going to give Germany a try again in November, we haven't been there in years, but the last time we were the "vinegar" flavor in everything was pretty overbearing.

DH would probably like Germany, but DS and I wouldn't, so it wouldn't be worth the money for the 3 of us to go there. I told DH to grab something from the Germany CS but he declined.

WDW does seem to be quite fond of starchy stuff.

Stephanie, it sounds like a wonderful trip!!

It was nice to come home to trip reports

I worked this morning then took a pilates/spinning class. Exercise is my personal version of h e l l. Whoever said you feel so alive and wonderful after exercise is just full of it. Anyway, I did manage to do the hour long class. I'll give up food anyday over having to exercise. I know that I need to do it, but why does it have to be so hard? I'm due for a nice nap now as I have to be at my 2nd job at 4. I'm just waiting for the laundry to finish as I want it in the dryer before my nap.

Tomorrow night I'm going to try a Poolates class, I'm hoping that I will find this class enjoyable though the times could be tough with my work schedule.

Jennifer - I wish you could have been my nurse tonight! That is exactly what they were to be doing - but it took until there was a shift change to realize they didn't draw a vial for that test - all they had sent to the labs was my preadmittance stuff! And to top it all off my first nurse stuck me 3 times before getting blood - I've never had that problem!

We were finally sent home about 4 hours after getting there. My labs were slightly elevated in a couple of spots, but my BP went down, so we're on pace for Thurs around 7 am or so. I'll check in tomorrow - thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts!

I'm sorry Lindsay. I'm glad you got to go home. I hope things go well Thursday morning. I wish I could be their for you. Can't wait to see pictures of Austin. Do you have any ideas of when you might try to come to a game in Austin. I would love to try to meet you, Jonathan and Austin.
