DIS Divas Trip! (old thread, see first post for link to new one)

[kelmac284]

Hi Dawn thanks so much. Yes it was a nice weekend and not too crazy LOL. Enjoy Cars it is a lot of fun!!

Beth that is just horrible about Adam's friend. So sad and so scary. I tell you when they are babies you worry about them getting sick or choking and when they are in school you worry about them getting kidnapped or hit by a car or all these crazy things and then when they are teenagers it is getting in a wreck or something crazy like this. It just NEVER ends does it and you are so right about life is precious!! My prayers go out to that family!!

As for our trip we are flying on Saturday to St. Louis and staying over by the Arch. My mom is from St. Louis but I guess the arch wasn't built before she moved in the 50's and eventhough she lived in Missouri in her 20's she never got over there LOL. So this will be her first time seeing it. None of us are brave enough to go up inside though LOL. Then we are going to go visit her father's grave which she has also never seen ( I went in 08 with Shane and saw both of those) and we are going to Grant's Farm which is a really neat place that is owned by Anhauser Busch. Has animals and a little german village. We are going to drive by her old house and the catholic school/church she attended and possibly some other things around ST. Louis depending on timing. We are then going to leave on that Monday to drive across Kentucky. We are going to stop at Churchill Downs where the Kentucky Derby is run as they have a cool museum there but otherwise it is just going to be a long day of driving with our destination being West Virginia. We will spend the night in Huntington which is where Marshall University is fyi (from the movie We are Marshall) then we will spend the entire next day driving across west virginia and virginia with our destination being Jamestown. Hope to be able to see it that night and staying in Williamsburg. Going to see Williamsburg and Yorktown and then stay in Virginia Beach. Then the rest of the trip we will be heading down the coastline. Going to go down the outterbanks and see Kitty Hawk and all the lighthouses and hopefully some cool sites from some of the Nicholas Sparks novels. All his books take place in the Carolinas. Then we are staying in Moorehead city and the next day headed to Myrtle Beach and plan to spend 2 nights there. Mom got us a cool room on the beach with a hotel that has a lazy river and some fun pools and such and they have a big boardwalk so looking forward to that. Then we drive to Charleston and spend the last three days there. Depending on time we may drive down to Hilton Head but we leave out of Charleston on the 12th. So I am SUPER excited. Always wanted to see that part of the country and love all the historical stuff as well as seeing the east coast. Been to Florida 4 times but never the beach. So we are really excited about the whole thing and then things just keep being crazy when we get back as that weekend shelby has her tap recital and she has both a matinee and a dinner show and that is also my parents 50th wedding anniversary although they aren't celebrating till the fall when they are going to hawaii. But then that Sunday is father's day and the girls and Shane and I are doing a superhero themed 5k. This will be my first ever and eventhough I am walking I am nervous because I will be coming off a week and a half of vacay. So it is going to be interesting LOL.

So LOTS going on and coming up. Can't wait!!!

Good morning Divas! Hope everyone had a great memorial day weekend!

For the newbies, now is the time to check out the front page and make sure you know what Divas are on the different committees - it will help down the road.

As Mel mentioned earlier, the Scavy Hunt committee has decided on a theme. And once again, we will give a prize the the first Diva(s) who guess it!! So be on the look out for clues from our lovely committee members. We are hard at work to make sure that you all have a magical time on the hunt!

Divas and the Magical Map?

Man, I gotta remember to come over here... I had 4 pages to catch up on! LOL At least I'm keeping up on Facebook. I'm at the 50 day mark until my Convention trip to SLC. I'll be gone for a week in the middle of June to go hide up at the cabin on the coast and work on my Convention projects (which I still won't finish - I never do- LOL). I get to order the supplies to make them on Friday when our new catalog launches.

Stayed home and did a whole lot of nothing this weekend. Tomorrow I'm having lunch with Cindy (NorCalGal). Saturday we will be down in the Bay Area for my niece and nephew's 6th birthday party, which means a trip to ToysRUs between now and then. Ick. LOL

Hubby put in a job app for a position in Anaheim. Can you imagine? <swoon> The company has offices all over CA, but this particular position in in their Anaheim office. I think I'd be going down to visit on a regular basis. LOL

Nothing else going on here...

Divas and the Magical Map?

No but good guess!

One of Adam's classmates was hiking near by at Red Rock with some friends, somehow he fell about 80 feet and was killed. Really sad. His poor parents will now be planning a funeral instead of a graduation celebration. Just a reminder how precious and fragile life can be!!

Anyway, don't want to be a downer! Hope you all have a good week. Last week of May! Wow!! This year is flying by. The good news is, my ticker is in the teens now. Love it!!

I'm excited that your trip is so close for you . I want to go on a road trip . But that is horrible about Adam's classmate. I can't even imagine and I'm not sure what I'd do .

Good morning Divas! Hope everyone had a great memorial day weekend!

Time to put a thinking cap on . I doubt I'll guess it but I am excited to hear what the theme is.

Good luck to him, but that is awfully far!! Will you move? Or will he find a place down here?

I had a great holiday weekend and wished I had today off . We went to the beach and then stayed at the new Legoland hotel. It themed awesome and is great for kids. I posted some pics on FB but I'll post a couple here for kicks since no one really posts pics here anymore:

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

Love the pics! Looks like a good time was had by all!

 

[VintageDisneyRules]

Trudi, I think we have some cougars in our group! Angie had some fun with some younger guys at the MTP, too. These wild women. Good thing they have us to keep them under control.

Have us to keep them under control? I want to join them!!!!

Katie - love the Legoland photo. I have the same photo with my DS on the dragon roller coaster from when we went! And love the hotel - it looks so cool!! I so would have stayed there if it had been built! Glad to see you looking so happy!

Lisa - wishing your hubby good luck!

Don't give up! More clues coming in the near future - just keep track of them all to put them together!

 

[kelmac284]

How about something corresponding to the year of magic promo that they are doing right now. Ie magic, memories and you and the limited time magic?

 

[VintageDisneyRules]

Is the hunt in DL or CA? or is that not announced yet?

That would be a good tie in but not the theme!

No - it will be announced with the theme!

Well I think after two weeks my giant cold is finally breaking up!! I am so tired of blowing my nose and coughing! I felt bad for my poor roomies at MouseAdventure - but at leasts I "think" I am on the mend!

Happy Hump Day ladies!
