Marietta, GA (USA)

[for the first time, I checked into my new squadron at NAS Atlanta - actually, though, I'm still TAD from the old squadron at NAS Meridian - still, though, it's a sign of exciting days ahead!]

Disney World Trip - Day 9

Left Orlando early this morning so I could get back to work. We had a day left on the park pass, but it was time to go. Still, we had lots of fun! [Toll Road to I-75 ?] Got gas in Lake City, Florida (1305L). Uneventful drive back to Atlanta...

Disney World Trip - Day 5

Another day at Disney World (arrived at 1100L)... This time, we enjoyed Disney/MGM studios. Lots more musical shows (including Little Mermaid) - the kids loved that, as usual! We had a late lunch at Mama Melrose's (finished at 1600L) in the Park.

Disney World Trip - Day 4

Another day at Disney World (arrived at 1030L)... Spent the day at Animal Kingdom. It was raining pretty hard, so we bought some ponchos at Garden Gate Gifts (1055L). I made the mistake of taking the Twins on a scary dinosaur ride (hope they forgive me someday...). Ate lunch at the Tusker House (1415L). All day long, we got to watch several musical shows - Brenna intently watched them all! We bought a "character package" at Town Square Exposition Hall (1940L).

Disney World Trip - Day 2

Got our tickets early (1015L) and then we headed into the Magic Kingdom! This was the first trip for the kids when they could truly enjoy it (they came with Nicky when I was on cruise a few years ago). We ate lunch at Pinocchio's (1155L). The highlight of the day (and maybe the entire trip!) was when we found a great spot to watch the Princess Parade. What an unforgetable experience!
