Walt Disney World & NYC!


So I returned home from my 10 days of being away on Monday! It was a whirlwind of fun rolled up into a short period of time.

I started off in Orlando at Walt Disney World for work with Sharla & Charlie.  Charlie and I ventured in to WDW and needless to say, it was a bit of a stressful experience.  Having another person there would have been so helpful.  In fact, thanks to Facebook! my friend from high school saw that I was @ WDW and she was there interning so she actually met up with us a few times - that was so fun and I was thankful she was there! 

Growing up, Mom & Dad never sold the WDW theme to us...so it was never a big deal to want to go to WDW.  My favorite part was watching Charlie and how excited he got when he saw the characters - yes, excited.  He was so animated and not a bit scared.  

We made it to Magic Kingdom (where they happened to be filming the ABC Christmas Day Parade with Regis & Kelly... make no mistake, it's not filmed on Christmas Day - and watch for me & Charlie -we could be making our debut!); Universal Studios (we saw the Spectacle of Light Show, pretty neat); and to Animal Kingdom.

Overall - WDW was fun, a different experience but fun. 

I left Thursday morning and flew back to BWI where I quickly ran out to the car to switch out some clothes and then hopped on another plane to NYC for the weekend.

My mom, sister, sister-in-law, niece and I all met up in NYC for my Mom's 60th Birthday surprise trip.  We had a blast, though we managed to be there on one of the coldest days this year (8 degrees).  We saw The Lion King and Wicked - - both are amazing shows! 

I got back home on Monday and it's been nice to be back although it's only for 8 days!  It's hard to believe that at one point I was planning to be moving back to Texas during this time!! My how things have changed!

Check back later for a post of the SNOW that we're receiving!  The state of VA has been declared a "State of Emergency!" We've got a 100% chance of snow tonight, all day tomorrow and into tomorrow night!! SOOO EXCITED!

We're expected to get somewhere between 18 and 24 inches! Enough for a snowman and some good sledding!
