Well I'm having an interesting summer. I returned from our great April trip to spend some time at my dad's beach condo giving it some long overdue TLC. A new AC, microwave, sliding glass doors, new computer station (desk, printer, bose speakers, wireless broadband hookups) and living room set later (yes you can easily drop $10k on upkeep of a second vacation home), my entire family seems to be immensely enjoying Ocean City, MD again. So much so, I fear Disney has slipped off our brains.
However, I still got around to making the first of our Orlando ressies for next year. Booked a week at SSR first week of May next year. I'm waiting to hear if the family still wants to do the grand gathering thing next June or if we'll use our extra points in October instead. Right now they're all jockeying for time at the beach this year. My family are the worst planners. Constantly changing dates, realizing they have committments they forgot, and debating every twist for 30 minutes just to be certain they have ALL their say.
The funny thing is when redoing my parents' 30 yo condo, we've done it from lessons learned at Marriott and Disney. Hence the computer desk (upped to a fullblown station with printer and cool speakers) and living room set. My dad has visions of granite counter tops in the kitchen now. If I could just get the complex to spring for a pool lift and jacuzzi... Maybe movies at the pool weeknights.
Hope everyone is having a good summer.

i need some ice cream!!
but did a great job of "making" the right shade of blue that would really show up well in DS's hair. It was a really great experience in there
