March 11th & 12th

We have had a very busy two days, one being a lot of traveling and the other having a great time playing in Disney World.  Lets start with Monday, we were up and on the road by 3:00 AM, yes their are two of them in a day.  We got to the Palm Springs airport with know problem and load on the plane.  That is when things started to go a little bit south.  We got on the runway and the pilot said we need to wait a few minutes before we can take off because they are turning the approach to LA a different direction, but we should be close to our correct time of arrival.  Should I tell you that when we land at LA we have a half hour to get to our next flight and we don't know the gate yet.  OK, we can still make it.  Then we land in LA and now we are 15 minutes late, OK we still have 15 minutes to get to our next flight.  But wait we have to stay on the tar mat for an extra 15 minutes waiting to finish our taxi to our stop.  Now we have a problem Houston!!!!!
We get off the plan check on our next flight and where e have to go.  Great our next flight is not even at the terminal yet, good we got time to pee and get something to eat we hope!!! Then with in 10 minutes it changes to now final loading and we are still 5 minutes away, all in all we made the flight and were on our way to Florida from LA with not to much of a heart attack. 

We are in Florida, good by plane and on to Disney World to play.

Cyndy's hero!!!!

Sorry for the bad picture but Walt Disney really had one thing he was hoping everyone would think when they came here and that was "Where Dreams Come True" you just have to believe in this!!! 

Old Key West is where we are staying, we have a real nice room and a view right out over a golf course.  Wish I had brought the clubs, but would not have time to play anyway.

We meet Ronnie and his family, boy are those kids growing.  Adam is getting to be such a big kid, be is going to make a great football player. Alex & Sara are growing like little weeds.  Sara came up up to Cyndy and really made her feel great by calling her great grandma Cyndy!!!!  We talked for a while and they were off to Hollywood and we were just going to take it easy and maybe go over to Downtown Disney.

We took the boat over to Downtown, we had a nice ride and this balloon ride, Cyndy said no way am I going up in that.

We have never been downtown beforeand it was a neat place to walk around.  A lot of great places to eat and shop, but these lego's were neat displays.

We headed back to Old Key West because we need to meet some real great people.

Cyndy's cousin Rose & Dennis, this is neat we get to play in this wonderful park together.  We had a late dinner snack and headed off to bed after a long day of flying.  I think the both couples were really tired, they had a difficult flight also but that's a another story all by it;s self.
Tuesday on to Magic Kingdom.

Rain well not dampen our spirits because we are all from Washington and it rains there a lot.  We did a lot of shop looking and watching people.  We did a couple of rides and by mid day it had stopped raining.

Tried to get Cyndy & Rose to stand next to these wood carvings but they said know way, you can see the steam coming out of there ears but not the water coming out of there mouth.  They said it was already to wet around here.

Jungle boat ride.

We did a few other rides and had a great time walking around the park.

We do have to eat, so we took a short break before the parade of lights in Magic Kingdom.

The castle just before the light parade.

Here are a few pictures from the light parade.

After the light parade it was off to watch the Castle light show and fireworks.

What a day of exitement and time with great freinds, but it is late and time to hit the rack.  More to come tomorrow, don't know what park we are going to but it will be fun.  Thrusday is when we celebrate RD's birthday with a drinking trip around Epcot Center, should be fun!!!!
