Vacation Snapshots

We are back from our trip down south so I thought I'd share a few pictures/memories! Our first stop was Louisiana! 

The Strawberry Festival in Ponchatoula was a lot of fun...


There were plenty of fresh strawberries for sale...


Dirty rice and fried corn...


 Only in the south...


Crawfish at my brother's in Independence, LA...


We made a short side trip to see the house where I used to live in Gulf Breeze, FL, many many years ago (the sidewalk used to be much longer!)...


Then it was on to Disney World!

The Pop Century Resort gets an A for AWESOME!


Extra Magic Hours totally rocks! We practically had the Magic Kingdom to ourselves for three hours! The "Wishes" nighttime show is a must-see.

Here's a shot of Cinderella's Castle lit up at night...


Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin... my daughter laughed so hard she puked! Seriously!


Space Mountain still makes my head hurt... :-(

Cinderella's Castle by day...


The re-imagined Spaceship Earth is worth seeing twice!


 Phil and I both love the Haunted Mansion...


Mission: Space at EPCOT is very, very cool. Worth risking another headache for!


Soarin' (no picture) is another new-to-me ride at EPCOT that I highly recommend, although I'd grab a Fast Pass for this one if they're available.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is still my favorite ride...


Followed closely by Twilight Zone Tower of Terror...


Expedition Everest (no picture) at Animal Kingdom was super fun, even though we were soaking wet from just having been on the Kali River Rapids!

Blizzard Beach has the best Mango Margaritas! And Rum Runners!


Needless to say, we had a fabulous vacation! And for the record, I love this man...


And these two kiddos...


And they love me!
