Hi, all! We got back from out trip last week but our backsides have really been dragging!
We were both exhausted by the time we left for Orlando. It is a full day of travel from up here to down there. We got in late that night and went straight to bed once we checked in. The next day, we both slept until 9:30a which would have been 7:30a at home. We did that the entire week we were at WDW. Our body time clocks just stayed on at home time and sometimes we would sleep until 11:00a, 9:00a at home. The same was with our sleep time. We would fall asleep around 11:30p or midnight, which was 9:30p or 10:00p home time. This didnt make for a lot of park time sometimes.
We enjoyed the dining plan and we played a round of miniature golf this trip, which we had never done before.
We went to a couple of clubs at PI this trip, and we had never done that before, either. I got the drink bucket Madd told us about and a souvenir glass from the Comedy Club and the Adventurers Club. They even made it home in one piece!! At one of our meals, we ordered the kids fruit juice drink and I got a Tink light up pin and DH got a Captain Hook light up pin.
Our room CM left us a couple of towel figures and she told us we could take one of them home, which we did
it goes to my grandson. We took him to WDW last year and he keeps begging to go back so I brought him a lot of souvenirs.
On the day we got home, DS was rear-ended on his way into town after school. He was stopped at a stop light and it was a low impact collision. DD took him to the ER to have him checked out and he is fine. The car has damage to the bumper and it will be repaired by insurance. We were lucky it wasnt any worse and DS is ok!
DH and I both got sick as soon as we got home. Like a very mild flu. Now, DS is sick and he says it is all over his school. Must just be that time of year!
DH had left our cows in the field where the new building is. He had hay stored in the building but didnt have doors up yet. He put some flexible wire panels up to keep the cows out of the hay but they are so big (and they need a lot of feed to keep that size believe me) and the 2 biggest cows pushed up against those wire panels until they popped them out of the door way and they just had a party eating all the hay they could get for those last 2 days we were gone. They also pushed those panels up against the front of the building repeatedly, while trying to push them out, and the panels scratched the paint off almost every color of the quilt I was painting on the building. I still hadnt finished all the coats yet so I had not removed the tape. Now, I will need to repaint every color from about 2/3 down.
DD was going to come out and stay with DS while we were gone but I guess he was so busy with school activities that he would get home, eat, and go to bed so she only came out here 2 nights. Given there was only 1 person here for a week, it is amazing how much laundry there is to be washed!

UGH! I dont think DH and I will take another trip like this until DS is gone to college next year. That way, the house will be the same as I left it when I get home!!
Sounds like everyone here has kept busy and I am glad to see HRH is back. I am sorry about everything you have been going through this year, Linda. And I am glad to hear that you are getting so much better so quickly, Kellie. I made a donation at the Kellies Cubs site but I dont know if I did it right because I dont see anything about it there. Have fun at the walk....I know you can do it!!
DH is out of town today and I need to run into town to get the mail and run some errands so I will be back later! How did everyone elses WDW trip go!? If you are leaving for WDW soon, have a fun, safe trip and take lots of pictures!
