This is great, a bonus picture, your family in Universal. I love it!

Thanks for sending, that in one great picture.

Thanks, Bet's!
Great idea, by the way!
I think I have access to enough pics to play for a little while. I already have one picked out for next week...!

Sure...keeping up with the 80's theme:
This would be my 8th grade year in the fall...I'm the one in the middle.

I'm having a lot of fun with this. I'm looking for more too. Anything can be the subject, old, new, parks, vacations it's all good!

I've never been to Animal Kingdom, period. So it's REALLY like visiting a new land for me!

Have a great time, I love taking the trails. You never know what you might see!

Speaking of roller coasters, every year I go down to WDW I pick a "new" favorite one. (I can be very fickle, you know. ) So this week, I went on Space, BTMRR, Everest, and RNR Coaster. My new favorite for 2016 is (drum roll . . .) Expedition Everest!!

I love it, too! Very cool to ride it at night...!
We rode it at night during a Mousefest meetup back in Dec. of '08.
And, the Yeti was still working...

Oh that scares the bejeepers out of me. I hate flying and that's why. That and the takeoff and landing are terrifying for me.

I eat chips, I've read that something crunchy, can help with stress. Just close your eyes and concentrate on the flavor and the saltiness.

Years ago, I went on a flight tour over the Grand Canyon--OMG--that was spectacular!! You would have loved it. It seated around 10 people, and was a twin turboprop. One of the coolest things was that the pilot had to perform a "short takeoff" maneuver from where he took off in the canyon. Wow, that was the steepest angle of ascent I've ever been in, in a small (or large) plane, ever!! And, like yourself, I was very lucky to be in the copilot seat and could watch the instrument panel, while taking in all the airborne sights!! Cool memories!

Awesome! I'd DEFINITELY dig that...!!!

Oh, I'm so glad that you can share some pictures, especially food, I need to clean my computer screen. So I can lick it, when the food pictures, or drink pictures come up.

The screen'll probably just taste like chicken...!

My first experience in a small plane was one that my boyfriend, now hubby rented so his pilot friend could get more miles under his belt. It was a four seater. We flew from IU to Purdue, it was great fun, until the pilot started making out with the girlfriend. I wasn't afraid, as he was a "pilot".

Thank you, I expect that this will be like visiting a new land.

Although they pretty much all are, it is indeed a really neat Park at night...!

I'm really excited for this, as it's going to be something new. I hope to get some pics!

It was 1988.

That's the year DWifey and I got married and honeymooned at WDW...!

We beat you, and DWifey, we were married in 1968, and honeymooned on a cabin on the beach. No Disney at that time, in Florida!

She's gorgeous!! A perfect princess for a perfect prince!

I love your post, so romantic!

Can't wait for farmer's mkt, but I am going to have to. Should be open in June. I am kind of sad though, because the guy that has been sharpening knives for ever at a bunch of different markets around this area, passed away rather recently. It will be really strange not seeing him there.

Sympathy like.
There's a guy at ours that does the same thing.
Although it won't be quite the same, hopefully someone will come in to properly fill his shoes.

what a weird design.. never seen a plane with a prop on the tail.

 

[donaldtoo]

That almost sounded "off limits".

Y'all did indeed, by just a few years...!
