Trip Report The More Things Change, the More We Stay the Same!

Hello everyone. Its an exciting time at our house in Eastern PA as we are just hours away from returning to Walt Disney World! After not traveling to Disney in over 6 years, we will leave tomorrow for our third trip in just under a year.

So much has happened over the past year, and many big changes occurred in the just the past few weeks! Brayden and Madelyn completed successful school years which included conference and district playoff runs in several sports.

I was able to complete successful winter and spring track seasons. I was also appointed as our next boys' XC head coach which I'm really excited about. But the biggest change was Brayden graduating high school!

After a lot of time and college visits, he decided that Arizona State Univesity would be his next stop. Thats a loooooooooong way from home, and I have to say I'm having a tough time with hime being away. Crystal and I are both excited for him. We are so happy he has this opportunity.

We leave from PHL at 7:10 am which means we will be on the road by 3:30. We are staying at Coronado for the third time. We stayed there for Maddy's Sweet 16th in February and really enjoyed it. It was our first time there in about 10 years.

We plan on going to Epcot tomorrow with lunch at Coral Reef for 2:30. We've only been there twice and both visits were vey long ago, so we are looking forward to what will seem like a new experience for us.

We are excited that fireworks are back! We will be in Epcot for the 4th, but in MK July 1 when they start again.

Also have one planned wdwmagic meet up and beer exchange with @imahistorygeek and @lostpro9het as well as @ajrwdwgirl. Plan on meeting up on June 30 at CSR with dinner at Three Bridges and probably drinks at Rix while we wait for our table.

We have so much to be thankful for, and so much to look forward to. Can't wait to share another life trip report with all of you.

Soarin’ was posted at 60. We were on and off in 55. We exited to rain, so after some indecisiveness we asked if it was possible to check in for lunch at Coral Reef early. They said yes. Currently waiting for our table.

CONGRATS TO THE GRADUATE!! WHAT AN EXCITING TIME FOR HIM!! ASU is a wonderful school, says this fellow Pac-12 alum. Tempe is a really fun town with lots of fantastic music and food for your next visit there! Great hiking all around, too.
Congrats to YOU @coachwnh on the new gig! How exciting!

Congrats to Brayden for graduating and to you for the new coaching position



Women usually get reading glasses before men - do you know why?

Men have longer arms!!!

And yes that was a Dad joke - How do I know? Because it was apparent!!

The food was excellent. Only our third time eating there and it’s probably been 10 years since our last visit there. I am very happy with our meal today.

Welcome to the club of "horrible things that happen to you after the age of 40"!

Well I guess I held off Father Time long enough. I’m almost 50!

I‘m often reminding our IT guys as well as my boss that not everyone is as young as them or has great eyesight and why can’t they think about using a larger or more legible font without me reminding them 😉
