I'm excited to hear about the Swan/Dolphin - I've not been in there yet! I've heard good things.

Good morning! Great pictures of your very last moments in MK. I regret seeing the monorail for the last time. I feel like that is my end to vacation.
I cannot believe how close we are to our trips. You have around 11 days and I have 16 days!! I cannot wait.
My Dad is doing okay right now. My Mom treated his foot and it is looking okay right now. He is feeling better after antibiotics so I am crossing my fingers.
I have tomorrow off to volunteer in Cooper's class. We are going to bake Christmas cookies after school and watch Christmas movies. I can't wait.
Looking forward to the pictures of the Swan/Dolphin. I walked around that area a little last trip, but have not been inside.

The flashy box was shipped today from Nebraska. That's the state just north of us. We'll see if they sent it by covered wagon or something quicker....

If it is coming USPS all bets are off.

Can you believe how close this trip is?????

NO!!!! Can you? I have to finish getting ready for Xmas, so I can then start packing!!!! In a few days we can start getting an idea of what the weather is going to be like. I hope it's not going to be as cold as last year!!

UNCW89 I am with you I still much to do too. It is sneaking up on me. I bet by Christmas day I will eager to get on with my trip.



MeMom- you sure are taking your sweet time getting off property. I guess since you were driving you had that option.

 

[uncw89]

I've been watching the 15 day. The temps right now are in the upper 70's!!!!
A cold snap won't be much fun, but worse than some cold will be rain. I really don't want rain.

Rain would definitely be worse!!! NO RAIN!!!!

The flashy things and the weather will be perfect. 70's is sounding way good to me.


70's sound good too me too!!!! The weather here has been nice, though... in the 60's. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 70!!


My school days are very, very busy as we try to finish out grades and a ton of testing and paperwork that has to be done and filled out on each student. Most of it has to be turned in today, so the next two days should be a little better. Maybe we can relax and have some fun.

Hope you get a chance to relax soem before the ttrip!!

What are your dates? Where are you staying?

 

[MeMom]

Nooooo the trip is starting to come to an end!!

It does look like Pluto is flying on that hat...I guess there wasn't enough space for him left on the ground!

Yep, it's been starting to come to an end for about two weeks now. Really truly, though, the Swan and Dolphin is the last thing I did.

And Yacht Club.

Oh, now I remember that you did that round of Swolphin with the girls! I can't believe how long it actually takes you all to leave town!

We weren't really in a hurry. We were planning to drive and stop in GA for the evening, so we would rather have had more Disney time than getting to some hotel early.

When th UnME picks us up, we don't have the privilege of doing all this wandering around.

It was actually a sombrero for Bella's class at school. They were studying Mexico the week we returned and wanted a real sombrero. And boy oh boy is there a story involved in the trip to the Swan and Dolphin and it involves me looking like a drowned rat.

Gotcha - a sombrero. I vaguely remember that now.

That was a wet, wet afternoon.

You have to love the Pop food court! One of, if not the best on prpoerty.

I agree, although I had one of the best burgers I have ever had on Disney property at All Star Sports once. I like Pop's chicken, penne pasta, and bread stick. More than filling at a good price.

We had been on the outside of the resorts as we got on the boat there once, but we had not been inside.

Have fun with Cooper. That's the fun stuff in life.

Yes, it was nice to be able to end the trip at our own pace. That's the pro to driving. The con is the next eleven hours in the car.

Rain would definitely be worse!!! NO RAIN!!!!

Hope you get a chance to relax soem before the ttrip!!


What are your dates? Where are you staying?

I get to hang out and do what I want next week. We get out of school Friday. Then I will let myself focus on trip stuff. Until then, I am in full school mode. Most of our testing paperwork was turned in today, so that helps. The next hurdle is getting through the school play. We have had to rehearse with them int he room, and on play day (tomorrow) we turn into crowd control for the kids who are backstage. Friday is a half day, and then we are finished!!!

I was at Target and I hopped over to the shoe department to take some pictures of adorable little boots for some adorable little princesses. (They are at a price that won't knock the socks off their Memom!)

Looking forward to some Swalphin pictures! (I might visit them in person if I can fit it in!)

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I saw some cute boots this evening at Sears too....

 

[IluvXU]

Emily has some boots, sans the glitter from Old Navy. She wears them all she can (she cannot wear to school with her uniform)

Lucky you to be done Friday.... we go Monday and Tuesday. I am done doing assessments and real work on Friday. Monday we will make gifts, Tuesday we will party.

 

[Kgroo]

I am so excited (and a little jealous) for everyone with trips coming up soon. Can't wait to hear about all of the fun. Hopefully we are still going at the end of February. Still waiting to hear about DH's job situation.

Memom - those last few steps out of the park are just agony - no wonder you were dragging your feet. On our last day, we ate at Chef Mickey's, rode the monorail, ate at EOS at DTD and finished up our shopping. We finally hit the interstate at 2:00 for a 8 hour drive home Talk about dragging it out until the last minute.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Well I'm still not sure about my January trip. They told my mom on Tuesday that they're expecting to discharge my grandma on December 29th. That seems early to both of us but she's about ready to explode. We're checking her out for the day on Christmas. We're having dinner at our house with her, my uncle, Jeremy, Leslie, Caleb, and I think Josh and Kazin. We're gonna have a hard time getting her to go back to the nursing home after

This is definitely gonna be a very last minute trip if we go. I'll probably be texting you while you're there to let you know if we're going or not My mom did say that if we don't go we'll try to go in May when I'm done with school. But I really, really hope this January trip works out. I'd love to be there at the same time as Meg, and I want to see the Osborne lights and the castle lights. I was also really looking forward to the low crowds. I tried not to let myself get too excited about it but up until all of this happened with my grandma I was about 95% sure we were going. Of course I'll completely understand if we can't go, but I'll still be disappointed.

On the bright side, I'm done with school until Jan 23 I really did enjoy my first semester but I'm definitely excited to get a break for a while!
