HELLO ? MICKEY? ARE YOU THERE?It's me again, and again, and again.....TR STARTED 6/3

[SoonerGirl]

I think it's a very 'happy' looking backpack!

Cute pencil pouches too

You sound like me, sneaking packages into the house and hiding them from your DH.......

I am always so impressed by the Vera Bradley boxes and tissue paper. What can I say? I'm easily impressed.

I love the cupcake pink color/pattern. I'd definitely say it was a happy color!

WOW, the hotel is beautiful.

The pictures of your girls is beautiful too. They are both so pretty. I like your VB stuff, but I am wearing my "garlic" so I can repel the site.......

I can't believe we are nearing the 45 day mark, I am sooooooo excited .

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

What a beautiful hotel, and beautiful pictures of your girls! I hope you all had a very happy Easter! I love all of the VB purchases, and you're right, that backpack does look happy!

 

[Charlefours]

Hey Michelle! I have been MIA the last few weeks--I am looking forward to reading your TR--I hope you had a wonderful trip. Beautiful Easter pictures!! How big is the VB backpacks compared to a standard size one? Is a backpack your preference for your park bag? I am going back and forth between my backpack or a messenger bag.

Gorgeous hotel. Your girls are beautiful! Oh boy, VB stuff! Very cute!

Morning Michelle!

Love Opryland Hotel! Mike and I have talked about staying there on our actual anniversary. It's so peaceful and pretty!

Your girls are so pretty! What beautiful pictures of them!

I got a Pirouette backpack this weekend too! We'll all be so cute with our new backpacks! There is no way I would have been able to wait till the next morning to open up that box. You have willpower girl!

 

[jenniferkeala808]

Great Opryland pics Michelle! The girls are beautiful! Of course you know I go to Opryland quite a bit as it's about 45 minutes away. We always make a trip at Christmas to check everything out. It's one of the girls' favorite spots.

Love the VB too! We're going to be soooo cute in our matching backpacks!

Thanks, Leanne. I didn't realize you were less than an hour from Nashville. You are in Kentucky, though, right?

Yes, we'll be cute little twinkies in our matching backpacks. All of us May DISers will have to line up and have our picture made with our VB collection!

Your girls look so pretty for Easter!

I never knew about Vera until I started hanging out on the Trip Reports around here. I just purchased my second one last month, it's not for my trip but maybe I'll post a pic on my PTR anyway

Oh, yes, Katie---post a picture of your VB, PLEASE!!!

Thanks for the compliment on my girls!

I have to agree with you that the Cupcake Pink is very cheerful!

You sound like me, sneaking packages into the house and hiding them from your DH.......

Even now, the VB box is hidden!

I am always so impressed by the Vera Bradley boxes and tissue paper. What can I say? I'm easily impressed.

Me too, Lisa! It just always looks so clean and neat when you open up that box. I try so carefully not to tear the tissue paper when I lift up that VB sticker that seals the paper. *SIGH*

The pictures of your girls is beautiful too. They are both so pretty. I like your VB stuff, but I am wearing my "garlic" so I can repel the site.......

Thanks, Dana.

What else is your garlic repelling?

Thanks, Courtney! I hope you had a happy Easter day, too.

How big is the VB backpacks compared to a standard size one? Is a backpack your preference for your park bag? I am going back and forth between my backpack or a messenger bag.

Hi Stephanie! The backpack I ordered is the large backpack and I would say it is just a little smaller than the size of a regular school-backpack. I have carried Elizabeth's regular sized VB backpack before in the park, and liked carrying it; it was just a little too small for what all I tried to stuff in it!

I actually ordered a VB mailbag back in February, but just wasn't just comfortable with the closure on it and the way it felt on me. I don't know about any other style mailbag.

Hope I didn't confuse you too much!

Gorgeous hotel. Your girls are beautiful! Oh boy, VB stuff! Very cute!

Thanks, Mary!

Thanks, Alicia!

I don't know about the willpower part. It was about 1:20 a.m. when we rolled in that night/morning, so I just wanted to get in the bed. Although, now that I think about it, I did dream about cupcakes that night!

IWe also rode the boat that goes around?!?! I think that's it!! Thanks for sharing the beautiful pics!!

Yay for your new VB!! Very very cute!! I love that color!! I definitely have to check out our local VB store to see if I can find something for our trip!!

Our room faced the Delta area and there is a boat ride that goes through that area !

Your trip is coming up really soon! If you don't find the VB at one of your local stores, you can always order online at their website. I usually do this, and have no problems.

We live very close to the KY/TN state line but on the KY side. We do major shopping in Nashville.

We definitely need to get a DISers pic with VB gear in hand. Great idea Michelle!

 

[Mommy2LittleVols]

I love your new VB, Michelle! I saw sooo many people wearing the backpacks at Dollywood the past two weekends. If we didn't already have a diaper bag backpack, I would definitely be ordering one.

A girl I go to church with carries her VB backpack as a diaper bag!
