New Look for the Blog

So, I figured it was about time I updated my blog and gave it a more exciting background.
I know it isn't Thanksgiving until tomorrow, and I am all about celebrating one holiday at a time, but I figured if I picked a Thanksgiving theme today, I would just have to turn around and change it in a couple of days.
So I went ahead and picked out a Christmas background.

I am new with the backgrounds and all, so hopefully I will get better at it and change it up more often now.

On that note, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope everyone has safe travels and a day filled with family, food and thankfulness for all of the blessings we have!

Catching Up

So I realized that it has been about two months since I have written. You would think since I am at a computer all day I would update more often. So I will try to get better about it.

I never posted about our trip to Disney World this summer, so I wanted to catch up on that first.

It was an awesome trip! I had only been once when I was about 3 years old, so of course I didn't remember a thing, not to mention how much it has changed since then.


We visited all four main parks, and Blizzard Beach, the water park.

It really is a magical place, coming from a big kid. :)


I really liked all of the parks, for different reasons, but my favorite would have to tie with Hollywood Studios, formerly MGM, and of course Magic Kingdom.


Being an animal lover I of coursed loved Animal Kingdom, but we didn't get to spend as much time there.


As far as Magic Kingdom goes, walking into the entrance and starting down Main Street, you immediately see Cinderalla's Castle, it was awesome! I think I could have stayed there and taken pics all day of that Castle. I can see how any kid would love to go to Disney, or adult for that matter.



Here we are in front of Cinderella's Castle. Definitely my favorite part of Disney! We went to the fireworks show at the Castle one night, it was awesome!





Here is a picture from my other favorite park, Hollywood Studios. We had to get that typical hat picture, like the rest of the world. This park had the best thrill rides. Rock-in-Rollercoaster rocks! :)

Here is a pic with Lilo and Stitch at the Animal Kindgom. Animal Kindgom had my favorite ride of all the parks, Expedition Everest. It is a rollercoaster that takes you through a giant mountain. This man made mountain is so large we could even see it from the water park.

If you go you have to try this out, I think it's the best. Imagine going upside-down and backwards in the dark, yeah, I told ya it was awesome.

So, if you are planning a trip to Disney, do your research, it has alot to offer. We bought a Disney planning guide and it was great! It had some many good tips and advice. They are always updating and adding new things to the park, so there is something new to see all the time.

I would go again in a minute. Hopefully one day we will get to go back!
