Dear Fort, I miss you. (finally posting my pics)

[ruthies12]

It's been craziness since we got back with the holidays, sick father in law in the hospital, taking camper in for service on the &*@#* slide out, and a ton going on at work. Things have finally settled down and I'm starting to get a chance to go through the 2000 pics from our trip! I thought I'd post a few of my favorites to share.

Though we won't be making the long drive to the Fort again until Oct. 2017, I am happy to announce that I will get in another trip to the world before then. My dear sweet wonderful sister has decided to take her dd (12) to Harry Potter at Universal with a few days at disney thrown in and since her husband and son hate rides and since my dh can do without them as well, I've decided to join her on a girls-only long weekend this coming November. I'm very excited to have another trip to plan even though it won't be to the fort (flying and staying hotel )!

Anyway here are some pics in no particular order.

And last but not least, our absolutely delicious bday cakes from the Contemporary bakery, picked up at Trails End the night before and eaten for breakfast the morning of our birthday!
My cake (I was sharing mine with dh and other dd):


DD's cake (that was just for her alone):


My cake with my candle on it:


and the inside- one layer of white chocolate mousse and one layer of dark chocolate mousse:


mmmmmm, food porn......

Love the pics!

I've done a girls only trip the last 2 years for the half marathon wine and dine. Truly a completely different trip than with my family. It's amazing in that aspect alone. Enjoy!
