Surprise trip with Nana & Papa! **Update 11-13 - Page 6**

[punkin413]

I just asked her did she not keep any of them, and she said 'no....I don't really care about having pics of you guys' ....NICE!! Sorry Dawn....no offense, but I guess it's not a pic of her baby Will she just doesn't care

too funny!

Will was definitely very interested in Seth

at one point (right before/after this picture, i think) he reached over and very gently touched seth's head. it was sweet!

WHAT.....he's going to be my forever Dis'Friend!!??!!

It was SO good to see Dawn! I MISS HER!!!

i miss you, too!!!

thought i'd share the THREE pictures i took (i know....pathetic! but erica had her camera out so i just figured i'd steal hers!).

we traded babies!

 

[Spartangirl]

Joining in, Erica!

Will is so cute!!!

I love that you were able to meet up with Dawn & Seth...what fun!

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

The pics of the mamas and the boys are so cute! How fun that your little guys got to meet each other!

DIS babies are the cutest!

 

[Stasieki]

Loved the pictures of your visit with Dawn.

We were thinking of driving straight through to Orlando

How long do you think that would take 10-11 hours?

 

[Cat0727]

You and Dawn look great! How fun Seth and Will got to meet each other, awww! I love the pics of you trading babies!

 

[VandyFan10]

Looks like y'all had a great visit! Erica, you and Dawn look great! And those babies are beautiful!

Thanks! We did have a great time! I was really wanting to stop by again when we came through that next weekend

And I will take up for your Mom. I think grandbabies are pretty special too! lol

I can only imagine really....pretty fun to have such an amazing little thing that you can take whenever you want....and then give them back!

Great pics of your get together with Dawn

Thanks!

too funny!

So now you know where you rank on my mom's list

at one point (right before/after this picture, i think) he reached over and very gently touched seth's head. it was sweet!

It was very sweet to see. I think he could definitely tell.....hey he's like me, but a smaller version!

I like this one a lot!

Joining in, Erica!

Hey! & thanks!!

The pics of the mamas and the boys are so cute! How fun that your little guys got to meet each other!

DIS babies are the cutest!

They are!!

Julie we are going to have to get together somehow to have a meet! Maybe a trip to the World??

We were thinking of driving straight through to Orlando

How long do you think that would take 10-11 hours?

I just mapped it from Nashville and it says 11hrs 51mins. I have always said it was a 12 hour drive. I have made it before in just a little over 10 with 2 adults, but that is petal to the metal driving and almost NO stopping!

If you are thinking of driving straight through with kiddo's I would maybe drive over night while they would be sleeping anyway.

You and Dawn look great! How fun Seth and Will got to meet each other, awww! I love the pics of you trading babies!

Thanks! I loved holding Seth. People always said holding Will....oh, I can't even remember mine being this small! Well it's true, and your brain forgets really fast, but it's hard for me to remember Will being that small.....and he was, not so long ago

Because of FantasyLand being revamped there were tons of these signs around. I loved them and thought I would just throw them in along the way as I was doing the TR

Hope you guys enjoy!

Being the Geek that I am, I stopped and read all of them too.

Yes, we are definitely going to have to get together somehow. Preferably at the World! I am currently scheming to figure out a way to fit it in amongst our other trips. Still hoping to be there for Claire's (and Will's!) 1st birthday!

Would be AWESOME!! I usually have a 'birthday week' so I guess I will have to make Will have a 'birthday month' since we aren't going until May

Day 2 - on the way to Orlando

So we woke up in the nice Country Inn & Suites....still in a daze

But HEY!!! I'M GOING TO DISNEY!!!!

Mama's packing up our stuff

And off we go!! We made it to the line

I thought this picture ended up being very fitting.....it's the SUNSHINE state!!

Back on the road....snuck myself another nap!

We stayed off site at the Polynesian Isles Resort. It was very nice!

We got all of our stuff in....got settled down and hung out for a while. Then we went to eat dinner at Cracker Barrel. My mom wanted beans & greens. I had a WONDERFUL autumn salad with apples, pecans, and chicken salad on top. But don't go try and order it at your own CB. They just might get all confused....I speak from experience

Up next:
A relaxing day at the condo and a surprise park!

11 hrs, 51 mins

We are in Murfreesboro bot that won't shave too much time off. I think we will make a stop over in Perry or Cordele

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I'm in too! What a handsome baby Will is. I'm excited to read more! We love Bear Grylls so I cannot wait to hear all about that.

I think a 3mo old would be SUPER easy! B/c they do sleep whenever and wherever needed most of the time! I hope you guys have a great trip!

Thanks! Lots of times I want to put the little bubbles above him to add captions....he is pretty expressive

I think that would be the best idea! Let me know if you want more info on the places I've stayed.

Thanks!! All I can say about Bear Grylls is that he is very nice looking....I don't know much about him. But I do know he was VERY well received at conference!

Thought for the day:

 

[MeMom]

Things have been pretty busy for me for the past three weeks, and I did forget you had started this. I think I commented on the Georgia meet on the FB pictures, though. Jill and I are planning to see Dawn sometime on the Saturday after Thanksgiving when they are both in town, so hopefully it will work out for you to come at the same time. Dawn said we could go to Gallatin or wherever she's going to be that night, if that works for you.

Hope you are having tons of fun with Will on his first Halloween!

We have gotten really spoiled to those under two hour flights, but if we have to drive, stopping in Perry is a must. We've stayed at Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn there. The Holiday Inn has a better breakfast spread if you are able to just get up and take your time before hitting the road again.
