I'm thankful for...MICKEY!!! My Thanksgiving '08 TR!: TR Update, Last Day!

[DisMomAmy]

Sounds like it was a great trip. That hawk would have freaked me out too. The bubble bath reminded me of a little fountain in the town where I went to high school. Kids would fill it with bubble bath and food coloring. They don't run water in it anymore...

I'm glad you had a great time! That was funny a funny story about the hawk. Just a warning if you ever go to Sea World in Orlando, there are a LOT of birds in the dolphin show. They fly over the audience quite a bit. Last time we went, a small parrot flew into one of the trees at the side of the stadium and wouldn't come down!

What a great trip! The pictures came out great. I've never been out west but it looks gorgeous. That resort looks great too. I'm glad you both had a good time!

Sounds like a wonderful little trip you had - so nice to spend some time with just the two of you. Thanks for sharing!

about the hawk!

I would have been the same way at the deserted rest area!

Had to laugh at "DH's" zoo pic!

Sounds like you had a wonderful time!

 

[luvfigment]

Great trip report and pictures! I am glad you had such a great weekend!

 

[mrsksomeday]

WOW, what a great trip!! Sounds like you had a lovely, romantic time. Thanks so much for sharing the pictures!! You make me want to go to the San Diego Zoo.

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

It sounds like a great trip. Well except for the hawk! The beach looks gorgeous.

Yeah, the hawk was scary. But the rest of the trip made up for it!

What a wonderful birthday trip! I'm glad you got to have some just you and DH time.

Yes, the San Diego Zoo is awesome! I agree; the animals look very well cared-for and they seem to have enough room to roam.

Or a little too much, as with the hawk! But I'm glad everyone made it out of the show okay.

I definitely want to go back to the zoo at some point. It was so great!

That fountain made me laugh so much! So funny that they stopped running the fountain in the town where you went to high school! Those darn kids.

Why do they have to put birds in the animal shows?!? Aren't there enough birds just flying around?

Thanks!

There are definitely some gorgeous places out west...you should absolutely make a trip out there!

The alone time was great. We need to do that more!

The deserted rest area was terrible. On our next road trip, I am going to limit my water consumption for hours beforehand!

Great trip report and pictures! I am glad you had such a great weekend!

Thanks! Thank you for reading!

You should definitely go to the San Diego Zoo sometime. It was amazing!

Hey girl! Photobucket finally worked for me tonight. Sounds like San Diego was alot of fun! I kept thinking of you when I was at AKL, great hotel. Thanks for the rain pep talk

 

[MeMom]

It looks like you had a very nice time, with a good variety of activities. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
What is our, um... your, next destination?

I have always heard so many good things about the San Diego Zoo. I'd love to visit it someday, yet I care nothing about traveling all the way to CA, so I doubt I ever will do so.

The beach pictures look inviting!

 

[Nicole786]

San Diego looks beautiful! I've been to CA before but never to San Diego!

 

[DisneyJoo2008]

Great report and lovely piccies - that beach look soooo nice and I am not a beach lover at all!!!

Happy Birthday! xx

Welcome back!

AKL...

Our next destination is undetermined. The next absolute destination is Disney World.

In the meantime, we MIGHT go to Sedona, MIGHT go to Mexico, and I MIGHT go to Las Vegas with a girlfriend of mine from Chicago. These are all up in the air right now, but you can bet that I'll let you know my plans!

There are so many wonderful places to see in California. Like Yosemite, where DH and I got married!

San Diego looks beautiful! I've been to CA before but never to San Diego!

San Diego was great. It's true that the weather there is perfect!

Great report and lovely piccies - that beach look soooo nice and I am not a beach lover at all!!!

Happy Birthday! xx

The beach was so nice!

I want to go back!

Thank you!!!

Hey! Guess what! My ticker says 2 months and 30 days till the trip! That's less than 3 months!!!!

And now for some random thoughts
1. DH gifted me with a Nintendo Wii for my birthday. It's tons of fun to play. We feel like we're little kids again!

2. Job news! DH is thisclose to accepting a job offer! The offer from the original company was good, but then he snuck (sneaked?) in an interview with another company. The second company has AWESOME benefits and is closer to the area where we would like to live than the first company. DH also got a better feel from the people at the second company. DH is expecting an email tomorrow from the second company with answers to some questions he had. After all those questions are answered satisfactorily, he will sign on the dotted line! Then all that's left to do is put the house on the market in November and then pray, pray, pray that it sells! Not an easy task in this market, but we've made some pretty good improvements to the house that should help it sell. So we'll just hope and pray for the best.

3. Tomorrow is Friday and then it's a THREE DAY WEEKEND!!!

I hope to hear good news for you guys soon! Your post reminds me of all those HGTV shows I love to watch so much about people buying and selling homes. I like the ones where they help people re-stage their homes because they're having no luck selling them, but my favorite HGTV show is House Hunters. I love to see how people decide which one is right, and then I like when they show them all settled in with the house fixed up. Maybe you could be on House Hunters when you choose a place to live in your new city!

I'm right there with you in that hooray for the three day weekend!

 

[DisMomAmy]

That's great news about the job offer(s)! Can't wait to hear.

It's funny... because my first thought was, oh no, she can't move because then we won't see her anymore. Then I thought about how silly that is.

We bought a Nintendo Wii for Christmas. I just have to convince DH to keep it in the box until then. I think Alex will really like it and it will help his hand eye coordination. He loves to play air hockey and ski ball so we got a game that has those types of things on it. Plus bowling - he loves that too. We're just hoping that Zachary doesn't play it and get too frustrated - he tends get really mad when he loses... like throw himself on the floor kind of mad. It's actually pretty funny once in a while...

 

[JaxJags08]

Yay on the job offers! That's so exciting! I hope everything goes smoothly and quickly with selling your house.

I love the wii! My favorite is bowling - and I can count the number of times I've actually been bowling on 2 hands! But I'm pretty good in the game! Have you taken the fitness test to find your mii's age? Mine always turns out kinda high because I'm not the best at baseball.

If you go to Sedona you must tell me all about it! I've been looking at doing the same itinerary as Adventures By Disney's Southwest Splendor tour on our own (when DD is a little older), and it's first stop is Sedona.

 

[willwriteforears]

Fingers crossed for the second job offer! And the first--it's always nice to have options.

I bought a Wii not too long ago. It is fun! I'm now in the market for a Wii Fit, so I need to start calling around to places to see if it's in stock. It'd be excellent if I could luck out this weekend!

 

[troobabiee7]

Best of luck with everything! I'll definitely keep my fingers crossed that DH gets an awesome offer from the second company. I know how much this means to you guys and I hope it all works out!

Have a great 3-day weekend!! Do you have anything special planned?

 

[lisalonglash]

Everything still crossed here for you!!!! Those pictures are lovely - I'm glad you had a good time Sorry about the loopy bird Beach pictures make me happy - we love the beach!

I must tell you that you and your cool binder inspired me to do something on a much smaller scale. i made 4x6 size photo album books for each of my boys - but instead of pictures, I made a daily schedule for each day (with what attractions to visit in what order, nearby places to get lunch, info on parades, etc.) and glued each onto an index card. The index cards fit nicely into the picture sleeves! I also included extra index cards at the back of the albums for autographs. All thanks to you!
