Hello all! I have been lurking this site for ages and I am excited to finally be posting a pretrip report for our trip coming up May 1-6th at The Contemporary!!!! So excited. We are travelling with my parents (who are also footing the bill for this excursion. I'm so psyched that they will get to share this trip with their grandchildren (ages 2 and 5). First up, since it's Monday and we could all use a little pick me up, here you go:
You're welcome for that . Okay, so now that everyone has had their "Rob fix" on with the introductions.
Me - I am a 31 year old stay at home mom to two adorable kids. DD is 2.5 and DS is 5.5. I am married to a wonderful man who totally takes my Twilight and Disney obsessions in stride with minimal teasing. I have been travelling to Disney World since I was a child, and have been hooked for years. Had a Disney honeymoon in 2003 and took the kids for their first trip back in October of 2008. I am an RN who will be going back to grad school in August to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. I love all things Twilight and even dabble in the fanfiction community under the pen name SCMom. I have a little story out there that combines my love of Twilight with my love of Disney:
I would love it if you would check it out. It is available at both www.fanfiction.net and www.twilighted.net. So, I'm also an aspiring writer.
I'm the family photographer, so I'm not in many pictures, but here I am with my kids and the Mad Hatter in 2008:
DH 32 - My husband is wonderfully laid back and fun. He's a machinist who loves hunting, fishing and camping. He has read the Twilight series and even took me to see the midnight showing of New Moon. He's a fabulous daddy who loves his family and takes great care of his family. His favorite Disney ride is Splash Mountain. Here he is with some of my son's friends at a birthday
DS 5.5 - My son is a sweet little cuddle bug who loves Disney as much as I do. He loves to watch the Disney planning DVD over and over again. He loves pirates, drawing, reading and skateboarding. He is so much fun. Here he is:
He got to participate in the Pirate tutorial on our last trip and still talks about it:
DD 2.5 - My daughter is a princess who can hold her own in a group of rough boys. She is a little wild woman who never ceases to amaze us. Her favorite princess is Tiana and she loves playing with her dollhouse, drawing and reading. This will be such a grweat trip for her since she was really too young to get the thorough experience last time. Here she is at her princess birthday
DGF - The kids lovingly refer to my dad as "Glandaddy" He is super fun and loves Disney. His favorite resort is the Contemporary as he has fond memories of bringing my brother and I there as kids. He is a Citadel grad and here he is with my DD before a football game. Go Bulldogs!
DGM - My mom is the sweetest woman on earth and my kids call her NaNa (with a soft a sound). She is a super grandma and has always helped out so much. I don't know what I would do without her, she's the best. She loves Disney and totally "gets" the magic. Her favorite ride is Pirates. She is a dog groomer and LOVES dogs. She does not "get" Twilight, but I'll let that slide . Unfortunately I have no pics of her on my computer right now, so those will have to wait.
So, that's our cast of characters for this little trip. I will update the plans later tonight when the kids are sleeping. Hope to get some readers to share this journey. I promise to throw in lots of pics like this one for your viewing pleasure:
Happy Monday! BTW, sorry most of my pics are so small. I'll try to work on that.
