Just popping in to wish Happy Birthday stuff...Happy wedding stuff...and all that other Hap-Hap-Happy Stuff to all y'all !


Been so busy...All Star tournament rush time, and all the crazy little league moms are 'bout to drive me to drink! Everybody wants their uniforms YESTERDAY!

Hey Bluer Krew...hug the Minions for my son! He is struggling with a bit of withdrawal right now...end of school blues, and-(as far as he knows)-no "official" trip scheduled right now... .

 

[Mrs bluer101]

We are home now. We hugged minions for everyone. Had a great time as always. Now we are going to start looking forward to our summer trip. Will start that count down as it gets a little closer. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Mac hope everything went well this weekend.

2 more sleeps and we head out. Staying Tuesday night with my parents in Apopka, which is 25 minutes north of Universal. Checking into PBR wed morning and staying through Sat. Then, off to a 7 bedroom 5 bath house in Windsor Hills to get all the cousins together which we do once a year. Going to do 1 night at RPR the following Thursday / Friday to take my oldest son and nephew to the parks for a couple of days. Ready for the break! It's been almost 3 months since our last trip to Universal!

Thanks! We always do! We go 5 or 6 times a year. How was the wedding? I have a few years left until I have to start thinking about that for my 3 kids.

 

[Bluer101]

Happy Monday everyone.

Mac, glad your wedding was good.

Tired today as yesterday's drive home was tiring do to the rain on and off. We ended up seeing 2 rollover accidents. One happened with the vehicle right in front if us getting off I-4 onto the turnpike. The other was right before Fort Drum plaza going north bound side.

We'll back to work and countdown to next trip, 4 weeks! We might head up for DS birthday in 2 weeks, maybe a surprise for him.

mac.....can't wait to hear about wedding

Getting back to normal here........jet lag finally over. Had an amazing time in both Manhattan and on Long Island.

Relatives were fantastic, was so lovely getting to know them properly this year. We were staying at one of my cousins houses which was just beautiful. I could get used to eating breakfast by their swimming pool every day.

Went to Fire Island which was lovely........the whole area around there I really loved. My cousins have a boat so spent some time dining in marinas which was heavenly.......seafood was amazing!!

Montauk, in fact anywhere we went we loved. Went to a little town called Sayville for lunch a few times, beautiful

In Manhattan we did everything.......or so it seems. Last year my niece and I did a lot without mum so this year she had to do it all

Empire State, Rockefeller, Central Park.....every inch I think......Carnegie Hall, Plaza Hotel for a cocktail and photos, Tiffany where mum got a charm and chain, Saks, Bryant Park, NY Public Library, Macy's..........a lot.........Flatiron Building, Greenwich Village, Washington Park, Grand Central Station where I got my picture taken with 6 marines , WTC 1 was amazing, didn't get to the memorial as either Obama was there then it was fully booked, Financial district and Wall Street, UN building was also a highlight, Brooklyn Bridge was just beautiful to walk back into the city, and Chinatown was not a disappointment this year.

Wicked was a highlight again, loved it so much.

Mum treating me to a lovely Vera Wang bag and a thousand other things.....she really spoiled me!!!

I'm sure a million other things too. Food was good, ate at some lovely places in both Manhattan and Long Island. Cocktails too

Of course the purse incident which thankfully only lasted a couple of hours was a tiny glitch. Still so very, very grateful to the man that found it.

Hotel in the city was excellent too. We had a suite so we had plenty of room. My mother is a tiny little thing so she doesn't take up much room anyway. But glad we booked where we stayed.

And weather was glorious!!!

But I did miss my guys a lot, and was so glad to get back to them.

I've rambled a bit here anyways hope all you guys are all doing good

 

[Lynne G]

Wahoo! It's a Monday. Bright sun for us today! Yay!

Schumi - welcome home! Just reading what you saw and did makes me tired! What a fun family visit.

Bluers, glad to hear you made it home safely. Definitely have to treat the little bluer to a quick trip.

Mac, hope you now have one done and one to go. What a great week-end for a wedding.

We are now just under 80 days until our vacation. Patiently waiting. I can't believe it's June already. May flew by for us.

 

[glocon]

Mac- I hope you share some wedding pix...
Weddings are such happy times, but have their bittersweet moments too.

And don't forget you plan on posting at least flower pix!

Wow, that was a busy trip. Glad you had fun. When you hit Universal we will have to meet up.

Just got off the phone with RPR. We will be surprising him next Saturday morning. Now we have to pack without him knowing, lol. He was asking about it yesterday at checkout. King Suite her we come again.

Oh, btw our if all our stays we we're put in tower 2. It was not bad probably because we were high up in a suite and not the average bottom pet floors.

Good afternoon homies
Only 13 sleeps until orlando and the darkside but don't think oldest DS will be going and if the youngest has to go to summer school it may be me and DW by ourselves again but I guess that's just the way things work out

woot.......second honeymoon for youse....!!!



yesterday was really busy for me and today isn't much better.
have to take a son to the dentist soon.
he needs 3 wisdom teeth pulled and they plan to try to do 2 of them today.
we will find out once he is in the chair.


oh, for the wedding flowers, there wasn't much which surprised me.
flowers for the bridesmaids and bride were about it.
wrist corsage for mob and mog and it was just basic.

but, wedding was beautiful in all ways!

 

[Heluvsme]

Schumi, I'm tired just reading your report! Whew! It does sound amazing though. I've never been to NY, that really sounds great!

Mac, I bet you will take awhile to recover, weddings are now productions on a whole different scale! It's not just a day.... It's a whole production, sometimes complete with directors, lol!

Did the wisdom teeth come out? I was put out for mine, I hope he was too!

 

[macraven]

yea, i'm beat from the wedding.
gonna be a repeat this december with another son.


nope, he wasn't put out.
he doesn't have dental insurance and the cost to have the anesthetic is too too expensive.

he had a top and bottom right side wisdom teeth yanked out today.
he had some shots and that helped numb him up.
he did get a script for pain pills but not many.

he does a repeat for the next wisdom tooth later this month.

when i had mine taken out, i was put out totally.
no way could i have handled it any other way.

 

[macraven]

i noticed Mrs Blue's new avatar picture the other day.

have to say it is fantastic, i just adore it !!





now i am looking forward to her posting more so i can drool at that pic.

i love pics of the minionions and also cats

We have to thank Mr Bluer for that one. He knows I love minions as well so he changed it for me. He is always doing nice things like that.

Hi

I'm so excited.... I just booked our flights for our fall trip at $138 rt

I thought SW would never reduce the fares as they had been holding at $200 forever.

Carole is back home...sounds like a great time was had by all. I know your guys were happy to see you.

mac...I remember when I had my wisdom teeth pulled...they gave me laughing gas...the dentist could have pulled out all of my teeth and I wouldn't have cared...I was feeling no pain and all was right with the world

 

[Cielei]

Happy Tuesday!

Glad the wedding was beautiful, Mac!

Glad to hear that the recent trips were fun and fabulous and yay for new trips!!

That is an awesome RT ticket price!! I got $248 RT today for our trip, and thought I was finding a good deal - trying to decide if I go ahead or if it will go down anymore. It would be nice if DH would call me back and give his input, but I can't complain since we get to go!!

Serious question moment - We stayed at the Hard Rock last time we went, and the rooms were really nice and we enjoyed everything there very much except we didn't get any sleep, at all. The walls much be made of paper in that hotel!
I was thinking of trying Portifino Bay this time, but was wondering if that is the right choice. Which do y'all prefer Portifino Bay or Royal Pacific?
