Well, here it is.....heading home day
The alarm went off at 6am....I slowly got up and showered, trying to soak in everything up to the very last second. DH got up while I was in the shower and got the girls up and dressed.
He jumped in after me, simply to wake his butt up!
After hair was combed and teeth were brushed, I packed up the goody bag and we did one last walk-thur around the room to make sure that nothing was missed.
**sigh**
We opened the door and quietly made our way down to Classic Hall. It was cool and rainy...hmmm, great flying weather
We headed into the gift shop, as I wanted to get a couple last minute things. I took the girls over to the snack area to get our last meal at Disney.
I got my chocolate croissant, and DH decided he wanted one too..I dont remember what the girls got, but it was junk food...
when we sat down to eat, DH said that he got me something....
Umm, okay
He bought me the "I-4" road sign that has the mickey silhouette. I was tickled to death. I will try to get a picture and upload....it is hanging proudly in my bedroom.
I had bought my Disney photo album, that is the ONE thing I buy every disney trip....I know I could go to
Walmart or Target but Disney is always a special trip.
After eating and shopping, one last potty stop and we head out front to catch magical express. There are a lot of people waiting besides us.
In fact, we had to wait until the second ME bus before we could get on.
We were on the bus and on our way home
The bus driver was great, he made the sing "
Now it's time to say goodbye"
I got a little teary eyed but I knew that I would be back.....with my degree!
We were dropped of at our terminal and headed to check in at Southwest. We talked to another family who rode ME with us...it always nice to do that!
WE then headed to our gate and sat down.....
the girls were hungry again......
"You've got to be kidding me!"
WE JUST ATE!!!
What I didnt factor in was that they saw McDonalds!
DH runs over to the MickeyD's by our gate and gets us some snacks
I had a Mcgriddle, which is soooo very bad for you but it tasted soooo darn good, and an apple juice. I took my "happy" pill and settled in my seat until it was time to board.
Side note:
Happy Pill = anti-anxiety medicine so that I do not have an anxiety attack on the plane.
We boarded the plane and got decent seat. I sat between the girls and DH sat in front of me.
It was raining really hard at this point, and I still felt very anxious.
but once we were in the air, I was okay and even drifted off to sleep for a little while.......
big mistake!
DD5 knocked my tray which then spilled my cup of Ginger ale down my leg!
That should have been a "kidding me" moment but I was so tired that I truely didnt care. The flight attendant brought me some paper towels and I apologized, as it was MY cup that spilled. She was nice about it and told me not to worry. I gave DD5 the "look" and made her put her tray up and sit still before I really got upset.
about 30 min after the "incident", we landed.
It was pouring rain in Baltimore!
And it was cold!!!!!!
We head to baggage claim and I call me mom to tell her that we have landed and are safely on the ground. I also told her that it was a great trip but she and grandpa were missed!
Finally, we grab our wet luggage and find our shuttle to our car.
We get into our humble van and start towards home, with a side stop at Grammy's to pick up DH's truck
As soon as we get on I-695, I fall back asleep until Hagerstown.
We go visit Grammy and then I fall back to sleep for another two hours......
Holy Cr@p, I didnt realize how tired I was.....
DH wakes me up and says that we have to go because he has to be at the wedding rehearsal for his good friend and we have to meet up with his parents to drop off the girls to them.....
Well, down the road we go!
At that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is where this adventure ends!
Again, I cannot express what your kind words have meant to me and my family.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
