DISNEYWORLD!!!!!!!!

We left early Saturday morning. Had some pancakes at O'Hare. I had a folded egg and cheese muffin. (only one person will get THAT joke)

I was having some stuffy nose issues which made the plane ride pretty crummy for ME. But Milo was a CHAMP. That kid's resilience amazes me.

Oh, nothing, just kicking it here at 33,000 feet watching some Batman.

We stayed on the Disney property, and I must say that's the way to go. They pick you up at the airport and have shuttles to every park that run like every 15 minutes. We didn't wait longer than 20 minutes for anything. Late April is a really great time to visit!

Milo and I on the shuttle from the airport to the resort. Please excuse my crazy hair .

The first day we arrived at the resort around 4 pm, unpacked, changed clothes (airplane clothes to me are soiled..)and headed out to Epcot. 

We saw the garden and flower show and realized that the camera had no batteries once we had gotten to the park. D'oh. 

So...no photos of Epcot. We went to Japan, where Milo got a CatBus (watch Totoro). Japan has my favorite gift shop, but then I do love most things Japanese. After that, Brian wanted to head to Germany to eat. Then the rain began. We got DRENCHED before we even had a chance to blink. 

Note to my mother-in-law...I forgot the raincoats you bought us. I'm really sorry. 

Ocean at Epcot. Milo and Brian got eaten by a shark.

That's about it for now. Day #2 tomorrow. 

More changes on the horizon. 

We Have Returned!!!

Mr. Smith is sleeping upstairs and kiddo and I are chilling in the living room while I finish laundry (hah. finish. right.) and make a grocery list. 

We had a spectacular vacation and I will post photos soon. Now I'm just going to ease us back into reality. 

Right now, I am grateful for my dear friend Nicole who watched the kitties while we were away. And for the fact that my left ear finally popped after the flight. And for my Keurig and peanut butter toast. And for my washing machine, however small it may be. 

I will never fly pregnant with a sinus infection ever again. 

See you all post-photo editing!!!

And We're OFF!!!

The darling in-laws will be here in about an hour and half to bring us to the airport. 


By lunchtime we should be in the happiest place on earth (no, not a strip club, or a bar or the Playboy mansion, or Nordstrom, though I am sure those places are very nice).


I got up at 6 because I couldn't sleep. Either from excitement OR from the three snoring entities lying next to me (one feline, two human). 


Now to triple-check TSA regs so I'm not the d-bag holding up the security line. 


I PROMISE TO TAKE PHOTOS. If you are my Facebook friend I will be checking in and posting photos there. None here until we return. 


BYE!!!!
