Woohoo!!! I'm finally taking him to Disney World!!

[tink774]

It's so close, yay!!

I'm so glad to be finished with summer semester, too! Made a B and a B+ in my classes. I was hoping for A's, but I'm just proud of myself for getting six credit hours in one month! At least now I have two weeks to relax before fall semester starts!

Can't wait to read your TR when you and Ian get back! And what a pretty hair straightener! Makes me want to use mine again.

The rest of the time before my trip I think I’ll be posting my little mini trip report from my trip to NY and of course some pictures from the trip and my previous Disney trips!! Please enjoy this last bit of trivia!!



Disney Trivia of the Day


Hollywood Studios


In April 1985, the Walt Disney Company announced plans to build Disney’s MGM Studios.


The park cost $300 million and is based on “The Hollywood that never was and always will be.


On May 1, 1989, Disney MGM Studios welcomed its first guests, offering five attractions, two theaters, one exhibit, a walking tour, a handful of “streetmosphere” actors, eight restaurants, and four shopping outlets.


The attractions open on May 1 were the Great Movie Ride, Backstage Studio Tour, Superstar Television, the Monster Sound Show, and the Magic of Disney Animation with the film Back to Neverland. Also open was the Behind the Scenes Special Effects walking tour, SoundWorks exhibit, and Theater of the Stars featuring Now Playing. Shortly after the grand opening, on August 25, the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular held its first performance, with audience members playing bit parts in the show.


On August 24, the excitement surrounding the Star Tours attraction, due to open at the end of 1989, cranked up a notch as the Ewok Village opened at the future attraction’s entrance. Then, on December 15, the ride itself, based on the massively popular Star Wars films, blasted directly into thrill-ride-mega-hit fame.




Oh I got my amika today!!! I love it so far. I only did a little bit of my hair but even with just that my mom said my hair looked shinier and smoother and I think it might be faster to straighten but I’ll have to see when I do my whole head. Here’s some pics of it!!

The box it came in. Isn't the box just so pretty!

The amika inside the box with the two clips that come with it.

And finally it outside the box!

omg love your purple amika i ordered my new one over the weekend -- the Jacquar print!! LOL i got it from amazon too! thanks for letting me know about ordering it on there you will love it once you do the whole hair! But it really does make your hair shine!! i give my hair a break in the summer and wear it curly and in the fall/winer straight-- it can dry your hair out if you use it too much or like me with the highest temp setting LOL!! I cannot believe your have 5 days!!!! i hope you are doing a TR for sure i will miss your PTR but looking forward to the TR!!!!! woohoo!! i can only imagine how excited you and your BF are right now

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

haha...sadly with everything else in my life i'm definitely NOT as organized!

Nope definitely not organized on this end either!

5 DAYS!!!! how excited must you beeeeeeee!!!!!

and lovin the new straightener!

OMG too excited!! The days just keep crawling by. I have to go back to work tomorrow and I'm just dreading it. I need to keep busy though so hopefully these next few days will fly by!! Today I cleaned out my car, wow was it full of things I so don't need in the car!! I still need to vacuum and wash the outside so that'll hopefully keep me busy for a day or so! Thanks, I like it so far but I need to do my whole head just to get the full effect!!

I can't believe it's so close! We just finished our summer semester, and wow, I just *barely* missed making a B in the hard class (and yowza, it was brutal!) Time to focus on Disney!

Congrats on finishing your sememester!! Hey that's a good grade for such a hard class, I remember how much work you were doing for it!! So congrats on that!!

Hey Lady! Just trying to catch up on some trip reports. You will love it down there- it's hot and rains every day without fail so make sure you bring a poncho with you to the parks every day, we had to buy ponchos on 2 occasions and they are EXPENSIVE!

Hey hun!! Welcome back!! Yeah I was pretty prepared for rain, I remember from when we used to go in August and it rained every afternoon/night! I have a poncho from years and years ago, it's an AK one, it's tan with safari Mickey on the back, I love it!! It's now different because the ponchos are all clear plus I love AK!! Ian's decided he wants to buy one down there, I'm not a big fan of the cheap ones from like the dollar store and he doesn't want to wear one of the old yellow ones I have at home so a clear one it is!! I'm hoping for some strange reason we don't need it but I'm prepared for if we do!! I keep them in my backpack (overpreparedness I inherited from my mom!!) Thanks for the heads up though!!

It's so close, yay!!

I'm so glad to be finished with summer semester, too! Made a B and a B+ in my classes. I was hoping for A's, but I'm just proud of myself for getting six credit hours in one month! At least now I have two weeks to relax before fall semester starts!

Can't wait to read your TR when you and Ian get back! And what a pretty hair straightener! Makes me want to use mine again.

Congrats on finishing and doing so well!! Hey that's a lot to do in a month! Yeah I'm so not looking forward for the fall semester to start but I keep telling myself that I only have one more semester to go!! Yeah I can wait for my trip report to start!! (cause then my trip would be over!) Thanks, I need to try it before I go cause if it really is quick then I'm going to take it with me and probably use it for our one dinner. If not I have other plans for my hair!!

omg love your purple amika i ordered my new one over the weekend -- the Jacquar print!! LOL i got it from amazon too! thanks for letting me know about ordering it on there you will love it once you do the whole hair!

Thanks!! I love amazon, glad you could find one!! I definitely like the jaguar one!! I was debating on that one! Did you get it for $50? I could tell the little bit of hair I did was shinier!! My mom noticed too! I don't straighten my hair that much so I'm usually ok with the whole giving my hair a break thing. I definitely straighten it more in the fall/winter too, it's just too hot and humid (usually) to do anything with it in the summer!! Oh I'm definitely doing a TR and I hope you like it as much as the PTR!! We are definitely excited!! I need to keep busy though, the days are taking too long!! I made a list of things I need to do and spaced it out between the days so at least I can hopefully keep myself relatively busy!! I do have work but I am so unmotivated to go!!

 

[jenjolt]

WOOT!! Only 4 more days!!!!

I really like the pictures of your straightener!!! It's very nice!!! You must be getting so excited for your trip!!!!

Very very excited!! I'm so over work right now, I just don't want to go!! I want it to be Friday cause at least then I don't have to work and I can really start packing!! I've already started but just with little stuff!! Thanks, I really like it so far, still haven't had the time to do my whole head, I've been keeping busy so I don't go insane with all of the waiting!!

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Today (last Thursday) was our travel day and our first day in NY!! I ended up having to go to work, which I was not happy about but I did get out about 10:30. We stopped at the post office and of course because we were in a hurry there was a ridiculous line!! We eventually left at about 11:00. Finally on our way!! I was excited to go, I hadn’t seen some of my cousins in over a year, and I was excited to see how big the little ones had gotten! It was a pretty uneventful trip. I fell asleep about 10 minutes into our trip and slept for a good two hours!! I woke up right as we were passing through Syracuse. At about 1:30 we decided to stop for lunch and our first restroom stop!! Now this is amazing because usually me or my mom has to go like an hour into the trip (what can I say we have a bladder the size of a pea!!) But this trip we actually made it a good half way through our trip before a bathroom break and I could have made it a little further. But we were getting hungry so we stopped at one of the rest stops along the way, I have no idea which one it was, they all pretty much look the same. We had some deliciously greasy McDonalds!! And on our way we were! I didn’t feel like sleeping again and I was feeling silly so I remembered a game we used to play when my brother and I were little, you have to find something that starts with every letter of the alphabet and it has to be outside the car. We used to have so much fun playing car games on trips when we were little so I decided we needed to play this game again! I convinced my family to play it and about an hour later we were on like W. Another half an hour later we were stuck on Z and had already given up on X and just decided to use Exit for that one. I’m pretty sure we never did find Z, kinda just gave up. I was sitting there and all of a sudden I was like, I need pictures for my mini TR!! OMG, how did I not take any pics!!! So I started taking pics of whatever was outside. Here’s a field we were passing by (there were a lot of those during the trip!)

After a while we had made it to the bridge to Grand Island (I think that’s what it’s called). Now I have always loved this bridge for some reason, don’t really know why so I decided to take some pics for you lovely people!!

Here we are crossing over the bridge. I just love water!!

Woohoo, we’re almost there!! We finally got to the town right next to where they live. We had to stop at a grocery store, I actually have no idea what my mom picked up there!! Haha, I have no memory of what was in that bag!! Anyway here’s me, my brother, and my dad waiting for her to get out.

My dad is just ridiculous!! Finally we got to their house!! My little cousin Ryleigh was there with her Nana (my aunt). Oh my god is she adorable!! She got so big since the last time I’ve seen here!! Oh she is funny too, always talking, and she’s so sociable. About 5 minutes after we got there she was dragging us around the house and having us push her on the swing!! My uncle wasn’t home yet so we just hung out for a little bit. My uncle got home just a little bit after that and of course we had another round of hellos to do! And the last person to show up was my cousin, Ryleigh’s mom. We ordered pizza and wings that night and just hung out for a little bit and of course had a few drinks. We are a drinking family, not drunk drinking, but we always have wine at dinner when we’re with family and a few drinks afterwards. Haha, please don’t think we’re drunks cause we are definitely not!! Anyway back to our night. After dinner and sitting out on the patio for a little bit my cousin and Ryleigh left for the night. My mom then wanted to map out how far she wanted to run so I went with her in the van to map out the miles!! Now is when the trouble began! As soon as my mom started up the van the check engine light came on. Oh come on you’ve got to be kidding! Well my dad came out and said it’ll be fine for tonight and they’d take it to Advanced Auto (or something of that sort) and see if they can figure out what’s wrong with it tomorrow. My uncle is very into cars to he said he would fix it if he could. Well my mom decided a little drive would be ok and we started to figure out her miles!! Well I love the houses that are in this area and had to take pictures of them so here’s some pics of the absolutely beautiful houses!!

And my absolutely favorite house of all times, if this house was in Florida (which is where I want to move in the next few years) I would so buy it!! I have always loved this house and refer to it as my house!!

Ok my aunt and uncle live in upperstate NY, right near Niagara Falls and the Canadian border. Well let me show you just how close they do live to Canada! I am on the road in front of their development and that shore on the other side of the river is in fact Canada!! That’s literally how close they are!! I always thought that was cool! So here’s the pics I’m talking about. (Plus they’re just really nice pictures)

So after our little drive we just relaxed for the rest of the night. We called it an early night cause for just sitting in a car all day, it is exhausting!! Well we said good night to everyone at about 10:30 and I went up to my room (which I love, it’s blue with a beach theme and I always stay in that room!) and hopped on the Dis for a little bit. Then I watched an episode of In Plain Sight (one of my favorite shows!!) and went to sleep! Tomorrow hopefully we’ll find out what the heck happened to the car and why when my dad and uncle get to together a project can never be just one day!!

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Day two!! I must apologize I have NO pictures from today (the ones I took of my purchases I took at home). For some reason I didn’t take any pictures so I guess you’ll just have to visualize with the help of my words (I hope my words can paint a picture for you!) Today I woke up about 10:00am and went downstairs for some breakfast. Had some coffee, bagel, and oj. My parents had gotten back from their walk and we were deciding what we would do today. Well the main thing was that my dad and uncle had to get up to the car place and figure out what was wrong with our van. So we all get take showers and get ready. My brother woke up sometime during this conversation and ended up not coming with us and just hanging out at the house until we got home. Well my aunt, my mom, and I were all ready to go and guess where we were going, Shopping!! There are outlets by their house and we figured we’d at least look around. Well first we had to stop at the wine shop. It’s huge!! So we got a few things to take home with us and then we headed for shopping and my uncle and dad headed to the car place. First store we headed in was Bass. Now the one thing my dad told me to stay away from was shoes and of course the first store we went into was a shoe store!! Now I have to tell you it wasn’t my idea, it was my mom’s so I claim no responsibility for this decision!! Well my mom found white sandals which she has been looking for for years!! And she got a pair in black. Now I have been debating with myself if I should just wear my flip flops or try and get a new pair of shoes. Well I found these really cute sandals and they had such a cushionany bottom so I tried them on and low and behold they are extremely comfortable!! Plus they were on sale!! So I went to show my mom and see what she thought of them and she said they looked really good and went up to buy them with her shoes!! I so did not expect that, I was planning to pay for them on my own, what a great surprise!! Here’s the new shoes I’ll be wearing to Disney (plus the many that I will take as backup that I know I’ll never wear while I’m there!)

While we were there we also got three coupons for $5 off your purchase at three different stores. So we headed to the next store and for the life of me I can’t remember what store it was but my aunt found these really cute capris and with the sale and the coupon they were like$12!! So next store was Marshalls. My mom was looking for some more workout clothes and I was helping, not sure what my aunt was looking for but she did find some stuff!! Anyway it was a bust for my mom but I got the wonderful idea that I needed a cover up for when I went to Typhoon Lagoon!! Haha, I really need to stop buying things!! Nonetheless I did find a really cute, really different cover up. It was only $13, so another score for me!! Here it is!!

My aunt found a bed set for my little cousin Ryleigh and some containers that would match her kitchen perfectly!! My mom still struck out (except for the really cute shoes she had gotten earlier!!) Well I convinced her to head into a sports store and look around! Well she ended up finding a shirt and a pair of shorts for her run in the morning!! We were done and getting hungry!! So we headed back to the house to get something to eat and find out what was going on with the van!! When we pulled in the van was up and my uncle was underneath it doing something!! It ended up being something with the oxygen something or other (can you tell I have no idea with cars!!) Well it should have been an easy fix. They had gotten the part and were already working on it. NOT!!! It can never be easy with the two of them. Well the first problem was that they couldn’t get the old part out, so they let it soak a little bit while we had some sandwiches for lunch. After that we just hung out for a little bit while the boys worked on the car. Well the second problem came up, the people at the car place gave them the wrong part. Well it was getting late and we were going out to dinner so they decided to just pick it up tomorrow. My dad and uncle went to get ready, the rest of us were set to go. They got ready pretty quickly and we were headed out the door. First we were stopping at my other cousin’s house to see her, her husband, and her two kids. Her kids are adorable too!! I have such cute cousins!! We got a tour of her house first. I love her taste in house décor!!! I want her to come and decorate my house when I get one!!! She’s so artistic and just has great taste. Next we had a nice glass of wine and a few little appetizers. We hadn’t decided where we wanted to eat yet but we did know we wanted to sit outside. So we decided on a restaurant just up the road. Again I cannot remember what the name was but I do remember it was very very good. We started off sitting outside. There were two guys playing guitar there and it started off really nicely. Then the rain clouds started moving in right as we were getting our salads. We finished our salads and it started sprinkling. We decided it would be a good idea to move on inside. It kinda stunk cause we really wanted to sit outside and eat but still the food was delicious!! Let’s see if I can remember what everyone had!! My dad had some sort of spicy pasta with shrimp. My brother had another spicy pasta thing, not sure what was in it. My uncle had a burger. Not sure what my aunt had. My mom had fish of some kind. Finally I had fettuccini alfredo with steak. It was delicious!! I ended up taking it back to my aunt and uncle’s house but of course left it there when we headed home, I didn’t have time to eat it while we were there. After our lovely dinner we headed home. My uncle, dad, and brother watched what was left of the Yankee game and my aunt, mom, and I went into the other room to have a drink and just talk. It was a lot of fun. We relaxed and caught up a little bit. After the game was over we called it a night. It was around 11 something. I went up to my room and watched Fast and Furious before I went to sleep. Tomorrow another relaxing but fun day!!

Hey hun! We had a really good time, it was nice seeing my family and spending time with them. Haha, yeah we really don't get drunk, it's more like relaxing having a few drinks just chit chatting and hanging out. Yeah so not worth the next morening! I love my coverup, it's so different! Plus it has sleeves which will be wonderful on those nice air conditioned bus when I have my wet bathing suit on! Oh god those flip flops are soooo comfortable! the bottoms of them are just one big cushion, I really think they're going to work out! I always have back up shoes though just in case! Actually I have too many back up shoes that I know I'm never going to wear!! I am literally going crazy!! I just keep myself so busy that by the time I'm done I hope on the disboards, watch a little tv, and go to sleep just so I don't jump out my window or anything!! Oh I hope the weather is good. I checked the weather yesterday and so far it looks like rain but I don't really put too much trust in it cause they're usually wrong. At least I hope they are. That would be awesome if it wasn't crowded. I hope it stays that way for us! I will take that pixie dust!! Thanks!!

 

[tinkgurl]

Looks like you had a great lil' trip..I'm getting so excited for you!

 

[Beka]

Cute new stuff! My feet would *never* fit in those sandals, I have feet like Donald's.

I didn't catch it if you said you did or not, but did you all finish Kingdom Hearts? Did you play KH2? I never finished 2. I have so much to do this week before our trip, if I wanted to do the both of them (KH 1&2) I wouldn't sleep. The 1st one took me 30 hours, and that was *with* a manual! I was to the final battle in KH2 and just sat it down. That battle in the destroyed castle with the dude who would shoot water (I'm so specific here, right?) was so stinkin' hard, I'm not sure I wanna go through that again!

Thanks!! I'm excited for me too!! It was a great trip. I love going up there and I really only see them maybe once a year so it's so nice to see them and all of the little ones!!

I do have very tiny feet. Got that from my nonna!! We finished the first one and we're almost done with the second one. Ian said we'll probably finish it in like an hour or so. I have a "manual" too, it's Ian!! Haha, he played the second one through before me so he knows where to go and what to do. I get too aggrevated when I can't figure it out so using him saved us both a lot of headaches!! We'll finish it tomorrow so we can get it done before we leave!!

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Our third day in NY started off pretty much the same as the last one! I woke up around 10:00am and went downstairs for some breakfast. This morning I had my usual coffee and oj and then some cheese Danish. My parents had both come back from their morning walk and were finishing up their breakfast. Ok so as you know from previous reports today my dad and uncle had to go back to the car place and pick up the new part because they had given them the wrong part. So that was their plans for the day and my aunt, mom, and I were going to Lewiston, a little town by their house, to do some more shopping. There’s historic Lewiston where they converted original buildings and houses from like the 1800’s into little stores. I absolutely love it and love going and looking at all the buildings and of course shopping! So we all got ready and departed our separate ways. My brother once again stayed home and did who knows what! So we were on our way to Lewiston and stopped at our first shop. I love the shops here, they have such cute little home decorating things in them and some of the shops are antique stores. Here’s a pic of the sign for Historic Lewiston! (I inherited my mom’s thing for taking pictures of signs!)

Our first store was a home decorating one. It was very cute, probably not stuff I would put in my home but they were really cute (remember I said I wanted my cousin to decorate my home when I buy one eventually and she’s more on the modern side) so we didn’t find anything in there (actually we didn’t find anything all day, this was more of a browsing day!). The next few shops were pretty much the same and we browsed and oooed and ahhed over everything. My favorite things were the pieces of wood you can hang on the wall that had Disney sayings on them (yes even in upperstate NY I can find something Disney!!). They were very cute! So onto more shops we go. One of my favorite shops was the Little Yellow Chocolate House (and yes that was what it was called, so cute!). Of course they had chocolate in there, very delicious chocolate I might add! It was a very very old house, I believe the oldest house there built sometime in the 1700s or 1800s. It was the first house built in Lewiston and there was a story behind it but I can’t remember what it was. We got some delicious chocolate here and brought some home for my dad, uncle, and brother. My aunt got three different flavored little truffles, my mom and I got sponge chocolate. I’ve never had it before and it was amazing!! I wish they made it around here!! Has anyone else heard of sponge chocolate? If not find some and get it, mmm I want some now!! Anyway here’s a pic of the Little Yellow Chocolate House.

(Sorry for the car, I kept trying to take a pic and the cars just kept driving by)

Our next stop was a little antique shop, I love this antique shop it’s full to the rafters with stuff. Very cute and interesting to look at. Our final stop was a local bakery. Now this is not any ordinary bakery it is the best bread in the entire world!! I mean it, I have never tasted such delicious bread!! We bought some for dinner that night and I wanted to eat the entire loaf now!! Here’s a pic of it and my aunt standing down in the corner. She didn’t know I was in the pic but I like the effect of her in it!

That was our final shop and we were ready to head back to the house but first we had to stop at the grocery store and get a few supplies for dinner tonight and order our breakfast for tomorrow!! After that we went back to the house. Since it was getting later we decided to just have some cheese and crackers for lunch. Tonight was our cookout/family dinner night!! Ok when we got back my dad and uncle had already been back and started to fix the car, thinking they had the right part now. WRONG!!!! Well they would have had the right part if the guy had put in the bag!! Nope the guy did not put the part in the bag. It was still at the car place. So they had gone back to get the part and were now home and finally the van was finished!! Yes after two days and 3 trips to the car place they were finally done!! Ugh that was a pain and it should have been so easy if they just had that darn piece!! So anyway they were finally done and we would make it home! So after a while all my cousins showed up with their kids, Ryleigh wasn’t there she was spending the weekend with her dad so it was just the two little ones, Tiegan and Ramsey. We started dinner and were just talking and visiting. We had a delicious dinner. My uncle made barbeque chicken on the grill. We had the wonderful bread from DeCamillo’s, a Greek salad, and corn on the cob. For dessert we had make your own sundaes!!! They were very good. Mine had chocolate chip mint ice cream with chocolate sprinkles and chocolate syrup (anybody get the hint that I like chocolate!!) After that we cleaned up and got ready to go to a fireman’s picnic (which they call field days but it was a picnic no matter what my family said!!) My cousin’s boyfriend was in charge there and my cousin was supposed to work it (and where was she supposed to work, the beer tent of course!!) so we were going to meet her boyfriend. We got ready to go and headed over. It was a whole 5 minute drive there so we got there pretty quick. The little ones were taken home and their parents joined us there a little later. We met my cousin’s boyfriend, who I must tell you is now her fiancé, he proposed to her on Monday and they set their wedding date for this November, yeah I know not a lot of time huh but we all really liked him so we’re ok with it!! Well we had a drink or two while we were there and decided to head home. We’re not really into fireman’s picnics but we wanted to meet the fiancé. So we headed home and decided to make a fire. My uncle has a nice little fire pit thing with tiling around it so it’s really nice. We built the fire and of course had a drink (anyone see a pattern here!!) We talked a bit and were going to go to bed when all of a sudden we started talking about old times. We used to go camping all the time with each other so we talked about those times and how much fun we had. It was nice reminiscing!! After that it was about 11:00 so we decided to call it a night and headed to bed. I went up to my room and started watching He’s Just Not That Into You. I started it but didn’t finish, I was tired that day! So I headed to bed and to get some sleep. Tomorrow: our departure day and a lot more pics!!

Sure if you can find a place to fit in my suitcase!! It's pretty packed already and I don't even have all my clothes in there yet!! We don't leave until Sunday, my ticker doesn't count the day we're on, kinda wierd but that's ok!!

Are you all packed?

Nope, still have to put a few little stuff in and all my clothes but it'll take like 2 minutes cause I have all my clothes together and hanging on my closet ready to go!!

Today was our last day in NY. I woke up at about 9:00 and went right for a shower because some of my family was coming over for breakfast. So I got up, took a shower, and headed down for breakfast. This morning we were having breakfast pizza. I had never had breakfast pizza and it was really good. Eventually my cousin and her little ones came over. Finally my other cousin came with her (now) fiancé. We had a nice breakfast, talked a little bit, and got ready to depart. We said good bye to all our cousins and went to get in the van. Well of course another problem, we had a slow leak in our tire and had to fill that up. Finally we were ready to go. Since we didn’t get to see Niagara Falls on any of the other days we decided to stop and see it now. So we took our van and my aunt and uncle took their car and we met up at the Falls. Basically we just walked around and looked at the falls. They are really beautiful and I took a few pictures. Here’s a few of the Horseshoe Falls.

The boat you can ride in to see the falls (and yes you do get wet!!)

Here’s some pics of the Rainbow Falls (I think that’s what it was called!)

A really pretty church we passed by.

So after about an hour or so of looking at the Falls we headed home. We said our goodbyes to my aunt and uncle and got in the van. We started home and of course 10 minutes into the trip I fell asleep again!! What can I say I sleep on trips, I can’t help it! So I slept for a little while. Not sure how long and I have no idea where we were when I woke up. We stopped at a rest stop for a quick potty break and then continued on. I then finished watching He’s Just Not That Into You. It was a cute movie. We were getting hungry so we stopped for dinner. We ended up just stopping at a Friendly’s. I had the crispy chicken wrap. My mom had the crispy chicken salad. My brother got a blt. I have no idea what my dad got!! I can’t remember!! Oh well. We finished our dinner and headed home. As we were going of course we got stuck in traffic. We had a gps system but of course my dad knows the way and didn’t follow it. Well we eventually got tired of sitting in traffic and followed the way the gps told us and guess what, it was quicker!! So we were heading home once again. We got home a little after that and I unpacked (I couldn’t leave it packed, I had Disney packing to do!!) Well about 5 minutes after we got home I walked into my room and this is what I see…

Isn’t she just the cutest thing!! I guess she didn’t want me to leave again!! So that was our trip to NY. We had a great time and I loved seeing my family. I can’t wait to see them again for my cousin’s wedding in November!!
