Welcome to the Happiest Place on Earth.

In December, we traveled to visit my side of the family in Tampa.  On the 22nd, we took a one day trip to the most magical, amazing place on Earth- Disney World.
You see, ever since I was a little girl Disneyland/DisneyWorld  became a yearly event.  Always something that I looked forward to-a constant- a day (or few) where all my troubles would melt away and I would float amongst the magic of my favorite characters and stories.  I hope to one day share in that magic with my child, and last year I was able to do that and more...

Not only did I share in the joy with my one and a half year old, but my mother was there and all was right in the world.


I must admit, Disney with a toddler was something I thought would drive us to drink, but I am so incredibly proud at how well behaved Uly was.  Not only that, but he rode Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion without being afraid of anything!  He totally squealed with delight when the dip of the ship occurred and played "el coco" with me throughout the dark parts of the rides.  I have an amazing little boy that does not cease to surprise me daily with how magnificent he is.

While this may not be a yearly tradition I can continue, I will never allow more than 3 yrs lapse without visiting the mouse with Uly.
I know what Heaven feels like: It's your little boy cuddling with you on the Haunted Mansion ride.

...that little boy is amazing because he has amazing parents.

The wonder and amazement that they provide is endless.
