MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

I hope you have had a wonderful and blessed holiday. I will hopefully pop on tomorrow and do an update along with sharing a few Christmas pictures.

Awesome pictures of the topiaries.

I wish WDW had those year round. Didn't they use to have them all around the Magic Kingdom?

Every topiary? I am impressed!

So cute the Henry loved the KP mission. I do love how the missions allow you to see small details that I would normally miss.

I hope to come back and see your pictures later, but at least I feel like I am semi- caught up.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I have been enjoying your Henry FB updates. Hope your dad is still doing well.

Hope you have a safe trip to MN!!!! Safe travels my friend!!

I’m all caught up. Woo Hoo. I totally remember reading your report that included your first excursion to KSC. Our kids are around the same age, so I felt your pain having to change his blow out in the nasty gas station. I’m so happy this trip to the space center was even better. Cracker Barrel is AWESOME. Our next trip is in 6 weeks and I’m trying to get myself to have a more go with the flow attitude when we go to the parks. I’m not picking a great week, though (Presidents Day week). I may have to do one more commando trip, then the next one will be a stop and smell the roses kinda trip

First of all: I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wish you the best for 2012!!

I love the Epcot F&G festival pictures. I am quite determined that my next trip will be during that festival. Which means that I will have to wait until 2013 because this coming spring it won't work... But it sounds like you might be around then as well???

I can very well understand how you finally got into the mood that you need to get things done!! It always happens to me with the second half of any trip! Even though I am never as relaxed as you were in the first half of your trip...

However, your report on the KSC really has me convinced that I need to finally get myself there... And maybe take in more of Florida as well. Once I am flying across an ocean, I should make good use of being there.

Awesome pictures, Brook! I so love the topiaries; but I love even more that you got to just linger and focus on the things you really love

 

[claryche]

Didn't know how far behind I was on your TR. But I'm all caught up now. Loving it as usual. Hope you had guys had a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year. Looking forward to more updates and also hearing about your DL trip.

 

[norybell]

Whew...all caught up! And loving it, as always!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Woo hoo for flower and garden festival! Those pics bring back good memories! They also get me excited for my next trip!!

Disneyland is in a little over a week!!!!!! Holy cow!!!!!!! I'm so excited for you! I can only imagine how excited you are!!

Hi Brook! You've been an updating maniac! I loved reading about the adventure to the Space Center. Sounds like it was a much more successful drive back this time! I'm glad I don't do the driving at Disney because the roads can be very confusing! We took some crazy back route home from the Contemporary one time - we drove past the monorail service station!

Love all the Epcot updates. I can't wait to get back to the F&G Festival again this year. I've only missed it once in 7 years! Everything is so beautiful when it's going on.

We love KP missions too!! We have done England, France, Japan, Germany and I've done China without the boys. We just have Mexico & Norway to go... and I'll probably redo China with the boys. I'm glad Henry had a fun into to the missions.

 

[Poolrat]

All caught up and 2013 for F & G may be when I get a chance to go to.

Enjoy Disneyland, that is on my agenda for this fall.

 

[CandleontheWater]

Great topiary pictures! We were there on the last day of F&G so we didn't get the chance to see all of them.

We've done the France KP mission also, and I agree its lots of fun and very cool!

Changing topic....Pat mentioned New Orleans (well, more than mentioned...had a whole chapter) and it reminded me that I meant to post a couple of pictures on your thread. A few months ago I was on a business trip to Alabama and on the return flight we flew out of New Orleans, which meant that I got one night to visit "the Big Easy". Based on your previous report, I dragged my co-workers here:

and we enjoyed these:

getting powdered sugar all over our pants, but enjoying them nonetheless.

That coffee really goes well with those beignets!

Thanks for the recommendation!

Were you brave enough to cut down Bourbon street after dark?

Glenn, Have you had the ones at POFQ?

 

[glennbo123]

Were you brave enough to cut down Bourbon street after dark?

Yes, I just mentioned that over on your thread. "Cut down" is a good description of what it was. Didn't linger anywhere too long!

Glenn, Have you had the ones at POFQ?

No, so I can't compare unfortunately.
