Welcome to my winter weekend getaway series! This is part one of three. Yes, I am a dork, but I think we've already covered that.
On Saturday afternoon, I left the Indiana cold and hopped a plane that took me to warm and fabulous weather. I think a Florida weekend in January may be a new tradition. Sun does a soul good.
I am so proud of Josh, who totally rocked the 26.2 miles through all four Disney parks on Sunday. We were able to see him at the Magic Kingdom (mile 10), Animal Kingdom (mile 17) and EPCOT (finish). We capped off the day with a fantastic dinner at California Grill on top of the Contemporary Resort.
Monday, we not only slept in, but also managed to make the most of our remaining hours at the parks. Five hours. Two parks. Eight rides and lunch. Not bad. I hopped in a cab at EPCOT at 4pm and was at my gate at the airport at 4:50.
Here are a few photos:
Josh crossing the finish line! Woo hoo!
The whole gang with our favorite mice.
I think everyone who's ever been to the Magic Kingdom has this photo. (But most people's photos don't have that beautiful crane in the background.)
Finally, here are a few parting thoughts and questions from this fun and fabulous weekend...
- If you are chosen to participate in some way at one of the attractions, please cooperate. It's much more enjoyable that way. There was dancing guy, and way-too-concerned-about-my-hair lady. Guess who was more fun?
- Spaceship Earth, I am disappointed in you. The photos were the main reason I wanted to ride!
- Can't Disney create some kind of magical way to get rid of the annoying birds who nearly attacked us at lunch?
- I wonder who ever decided that a family reunion t-shirt would be a good idea. (Exception: A bedazzled family reunion t-shirt IS a good idea.)
- Attention marathon runners: You might want to consider planning your park visits before you run. Some of you were looking pretty rough on Monday.
- Will the Carousel of Progress family EVER learn how to cook a turkey?
