Home Sweet Home!!

Whew... well we had a ton of fun, but Disney is definitely a working vacation for the parents! :)

We drove from the St. Anthony's race over to Kissimee on Sunday evening. Adam's sister, Kellie Mills (the original :) flew in first thing Monday morning and we hit the Magic Kingdom with full force Monday morning!

A full day at Magic Kingdom on Monday....

Then onto Epcot on Tuesday. We did the Princess luncheon with Aeriel, Cinderella, Jasmine, Belle, and the favorite, Princess Beautiful! This was one of my favorite parts! To see Gracie so excited about seeing these girls who she truly thought were THE princesses, was so neat and exciting! Cooper was even excited when Sleeping Beauty gave him a kiss :)!!

By Tuesday afternoon however, I started to not feel well and I had reached my breaking point!! I was PMSing (sorry for all the info, but it seriously added to my bag of issues :), and Epcot is so stinking HUGE we walked so much that day! My mom and I had made dinner reservations at Le Bistro de Paris for that evening, and the way that we had purchased our tickets with only a few of them being park-hoppers, it was Tuesday night or nothing! I was SOOOO tired and grumpy at that point that I really didn't feel like going. Especially since we had to shower as soon as we got home and leave. NO REST!

(This is what happens when Gracie meets her breaking point!)

But how often do I get the opportunity to go out and have a nice dinner just me and my mom? So of course I sucked it up and went out and we had a really nice time! The food was good, but Dessert was OMG... AMAZING!! Chocolate lava cake with a side of a chocolate wafer and truly the most amazing white chocolate mousse I've ever tasted!! IT was worth it in and of itself, but seriously, I had a really nice time with my Mom!

Wednesday was one of Gracie's favorite day's at Animal Kingdom. She's our Animal Lover and LOVES to look at all the animals! Again, lots of fun, but very busy! And then after another full day at the park, Adam and I went out for a dinner by ourselves back to Epcot and the World Showcase and this time went with a little English Flavor to the Rose and Crown! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I'm ALL about the British! I am in love with their accents and their style and everything! So that was all cool!

Thursday was back to the Magic Kingdom for most of the day with a short break in between and then BACK again to the Magic Kingdom for more rides and the super fireworks show in the evening! We also did another Character breakfast with Mickey, Pluto, Lilo, and Stitch! Sooo much fun! The kids were so cute, and got to do a dance with the characters! It was awesome!

At this point, I had done just about as much of Disney that one person can possibly do :) So I made Adam promise me that Friday would be LIGHT! It seriously amounted to almost 10 miles a day of walking! I feel like I'm ready for the Breast Cancer 3-day at this point! Seriously!

Tomorrow back to the training regime! I'm actually excited about it! I'm unpacked and ready to go!

Good luck to all you St. Croix people out there! Liz, Mel, Todd (Mel's husband), Bree! And anyone else I may have unfortunately forgot! I'll be psychologically racing with you tomorrow! Have fun!
