Love Bugs, Little ones, and one heck of an Upgrade

Just got back from the world celebrating our anniversary and our youngests' first trip. It was wonderful! We planned this trip since last December, and it was up and down all the way, but we pulled it off. There's me, 40 year old chef, beautiful wife Joanna, oldest (13) Lexi, (10) Nicki, (9) Sal, and princess (6) Taylor. Our anniversary was Sept. 13, and when I got home from work, dinner was made, Mickey table cloth and plates set, and then this!

I have wanted one for years, now I have one. Up at 7am next day, wednesday, to the airport, right through security, and off to the wrong gate. It took me an hour to realize this, duh! Two hours later, and we are in Orlando.

Time for dinner.

oh, and good news, GF called CBR and got my tennis shoes! now I can take on the rest of the parks.

Ash trays come in use in more ways than one.

$35 worth of wine. Holy crap! Did I really just pay that much? I did, and it was good wine, I mean great wine.
Cozy table for six please.

Camera now low on battery, so take as many food pics as i can. First, it's our California roll, all crab with avocado, micro greens, and a sweet citrus vinaigrette, really good!

In order of appearance, veal, filet of beef with teriyaki, and kids salmon. All very good. Check out these deserts. WOW!

Couple this with unlimited shirly temples, and the kids were in heaven. We watched the fire wokrs from outside, what a great view, wish I had pics to show, but i dont. Camera does not work to well at night as it is a point and shoot, this will change in the near future though. The colors of the castle were awesome. Here's a crappy pic of them.

Let's go back and go swimming dad, because were not tired yet, let's go. The perfect way to and a perfect day. My princess taylor loved it. All about her.

He's finally happy!

I always have to try and get theis shot, same crappy results.

I don't know . . . I think you nailed the creepy zombie look . . .

If only I could turn it into a halloween costume.:ROFLOL: it is creep now that we look at it. Thanks to all who have contributed to my TR, it only gets better. A really crappy meal at Chefs de France, great times at EPCOT, and damn its hot!

Some fun with scooters!

sleep time, and on to EPCOT

Off to Soarin for FPS, no line, ride it, get over to TT, because why not, it's 10 am and crowds are low.

Obligatory monorail pic! And the "really, how many pics do you need comment"

At TT, it was fun to go through the standby line, as I saw many different things for once as opposed to FP line.

Kind of looks like me

 

[mickey2008.1]

Whoops! here's the missing monorail pic

Now that's what I call a family car!!!!

No waits for anything! Means no pictures of the qeue, bad for me, but great for everyone else. let's fly to mars baby.

 

[mickey2008.1]

Us astronauts.

Time for lunch, let's try La Hacienda San Angel for some tacos. What a beautiful walk to get there though.

NICE pictures & CUTE family :wave:

 

[mickey2008.1]

Thanks for the nice comments. Sorry it's been a while since updating, had to work 15 days straight. On with lunch. These tacos were amazing! Not your typical ground beef crap. Such depth of flavor, and the pico de gallo was great! This place really surprised us. After tacos, we still wanted more, so off to Lotus Blossom Cafe for orange chicken and beef soup bowl, one of my favorites.

Train crash in Germany!

Time for a walk around the world, and take in all the beauty it offers. I love EPCOT! Plus a train crash in Germany! Really! A train crash in the happiest place on earth!

Now I know the pictures of the world seem out of sync, but we walked to Italy and then turned back around towards Mexico, as we have dinner reservations at Chefs De France, so we will hit that side later.

Now, to me, Gran Fiesta is my Small World, not the same song annoying me and no boat jam at the end. It just seems so much more fun and lively. The colors are vivid, and the videos just make, plus the fire works at the end are brilliant.

 

[mickey2008.1]

Back to future world, with a pleasant stop with Duffy. Who does'nt love Duffy??!!!

Dad, the sun is to bright!!

 

[mickey2008.1]

Back to FW, and the world of Figment!

Snack time!

Best sign of the trip!!!!!1

All from an erector set! C'mon!

One past shot, and off to TT again.

My new car!

Ok then, the others go on Sum Of All Thrills, While me and Little Tay go to house of innovations, an experince of coolness and boredom.

 

[mickey2008.1]

Really cool house!! I would love to have some of that stuff, but way too expensive for me. On to SSE, one of my favorite attractions.
