So Tal and I went to Walt Disney World in Florida at the end of May.
We flew out of Bellingham to Orlando (connecting in Seattle), and the Disney fun started once we found the Disney Magical Express. We got a little lost in the airport but eventually found the check in and got on the bus and on our way to the Pop Century Resort.
We had 7 nights there, and it didn’t seem like nearly enough. I wish we could have stayed for at least two weeks.
Some of the highlights of our trip included: (more…)
Ok, so I’m still stuck at home. I have 8 more days on crutches, 20 days until my lung surgery, and most importantly only 68 days until Tal and I go to Walt Disney World in Florida!
Since I have the time, lately I have been baking my own bread. With my Costco American Express rebate I bought a bread machine:
Sunbeam Bread Machine
I got the bread machine around the middle of February and have already went through I large bag of flour making bread such as this:
Bread!
It tastes so good, much better than store bought bread! I also have made Apple Walnut Bread with apple juice and apple sauce in the recipe, it was also amazing tasting.
This was my lunch today:
Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry Shortcake from Trade Joes. Only $1.99! It’s hard to tell in the photo but it’s pretty big, big enough that you wouldn’t believe that it’s only $1.99. It tastes so good!
Let’s see what else. I also got a new bonsai tree a couple of months ago. I had one before but it died while I was staying at my Dad’s house after the car wreck. So Chantal and I found a new one at Safeway.
Bonsai!
Hopefully this one will live a while…
And what I’m looking forward to the most… Disney World!
Chantal and I will be spending 7 nights in sunny Orlando Florida at Disney’s POP Century Resort. We have been to Disneyland 3 times in the past 18 months and have had so much fun there, Disney World is like 10 times larger so we should have about 100 times more fun. We are even going to eat at Cinderella’s Royal Table inside the castle at the Magic Kingdom. I can’t wait!
So, without further ado, the rest of the souvenirs Tal and I brought back with us from Disneyland.
I also used one of the fancy computerized art ordering kiosk deals at the Disney Gallery to order a print of the map of Disneyland in 1959, it should be arriving in the next week or so. I plan to get it framed and then hang it beautifully from my wall for all (at least Tal and I) to admire.
So, here is the promised Disneyland trip report.
Chantal and I went to Disneyland October 10th to the 14th. I found an unbelievably cheap flight and hotel combo through expedia.ca and the holiday weekend was the perfect time to go. We did have to fly out of Seattle again to get the super-cheap price, but it was worth a two hour drive.
So Saturday morning we get up bright and early to make it to Seattle for our flight, a slight detour at the border later we make it to the airport. Now comes that catch to our super-cheap trip, our first flight is not to Anaheim and the home of Disneyland, it is to Salt Lake City and the home of the Tabernacle Choir. So we had a couple of hours to kill in Utah before we could continue on our way to the mecca that is Disneyland.
