Saturday Night, Live from the Swan.
Hello all.
Dinner at Boma's was lots of fun. The only problem is that we wanted to taste everything and all of those tastes ended up with us being extremely full. I was actually thankful that we had to push the wheel chair through EPCOT after dinner so that I could get rid of that "Oh no, I think I am going to explode feeling." Back to Boma, loved the variety and really loved the ribs that they were serving as well as the soups -- seafood soup and curry chicken were my favorites. Desserts were outstanding, but by the time we got to dessert, it was difficult to fit them in (don't worry, somehow we managed). After dinner, we bussed back to EPCOT and power walked to America to the handicapped seating. On that note, this seating area is great because you get a bench to sit on without staking out a spot an hour before the show. It is, however, an obstructed view. The trees get in the way of some of the up high fireworks and the torch stand gets in the way of the globe a bit. Mind you, I am not complaining, just wanted to share that it wasn't the mecca that it sometimes is built up to be. Walked back to the Swan at a pretty good pace and I think we are in for the night.
Today we got on the somewhat morbid topic of last things -- we all realize that mom is not going to share another birthday with us. To help compensate, we celebrated her "birthday" at Boma tonight. Honestly, it made us sort of giddy to do that. Then DS proclaimed "And its my birthday tomorrow" OK, I told her, we can do that. She has, however, insisted that tomorrow is also my "birthday". This, of course, would be impossible as I am pretty sure that my birthday is in April and hers is in Feb. DS also insists that for tomorrow we are officially fraternal twins, which is somewhat believable because we are only two years apart and look alike in a lot of ways. PLEASE DO NOT FLAME ME FOR OUR INTENDED DECEIT. When you are travelling around your most favorite place in the world knowing that you will never share it with your most favorite person again, it can get a bit depressing. In some weird way, having a faux birthday is a really fun idea that has made the mood of our trip kind of wacky and silly and I am pretty confident that no one will be hurt by our little white lie. An even more fun part of this is that I get to celebrate my 35th birthday again (which is a little tricky as I am 37)
So tomorrow, DS, Mom and me will head off for the AK and spend the morning seeing the animals, etc. DS has never ridden Dinosaur and I have never seen the Tarzan show so will fit those two things in. The afternoon is unplanned, but we may go to the Dolphin Fountain and order that $11 seven scoop immense icecream concoction and share it.
No plans at all yet for Monday -- my DS and mom will not have any pass days left and we don't leave for the airport until 4. Hoping that we will get pool weather and can spend part of our day hanging out in the sun. Definitely need to do some shopping to get gifts for the kids and husbands we left behind.
Anyway, thanks for reading my reports and being so supportive. Have to go to sleep now so that I can wake up looking a vibrant 35!
Goodnight.

The SAME thing happened to us at Boma's, as it is NOT your usual buffet! The FOOD is incredible...and the desire to merely "TASTE" everything is overwhelming. The desserts are especially tempting (So...next visit I'm eating these FIRST!). Ozzie mentioned my FAVORITE....the ZEBRA DOMES (filled with chocolate mousse). They are an undeniable INDULGENCE!
Grandmother!!! not ready for that just yet!
Hi, Debbie. I feel the same way about all of us here living in my computer.
