Back to the grindstone...sadly!

Well, I finally came back...kicking and screaming! :) I did not want to come home today! Florida was fabulous! We had a great time in Disney and Florida in general. The parks were so much fun...as they always are. I did learn many valuable lessons which I will now impart to you! ( I know you're thrilled)!

1. Strollers are not just strollers. They are "two wheeled death machines". They WILL run you over without an apology.
2. It is NEVER too early for a Mickey Ice Cream Bar.
3. The thought of getting on a ride first turns absolutely normal people into running, screaming, and sometimes swearing (yes, even in Disney) crazy hooligans.
4. You can survive all day in the hot sun on Slim Jim's and Diet Coke. You may not pee for a whole day, but you can do it!
5. Don't ride the Tea Cups when you're hot and a wee bit dehydrated. Headaches may ensue.
6. When staking out your turf for a parade, take up more room than you need since people who don't stake out for parades will try and steal your spot at the last minute.
7. When a Disney employee approaches you and says "Are you going to sit there for the parade?", always answer no...since they will tell you to move anyway!
8. Apparently, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are now part of Disney. Who knew!?!
9. When leaving from the Orlando airport, please arrive at least 3 hours before your flight leaves. Otherwise, you will be running like a maniac to your gate. Out of breath is not a good way to end your vacation.
10. There is no point in taking your small children under about 4 years of age to WDW. What do they remember anyways?
11. Even though Disney is the "most magical place on earth", there are still people who will mow you down for a chance to see Mickey.
12. 50% of all cars you see have Florida license plates...which means they are rentals. 10% are from all over the US...you name it, we saw it. The remaining 40% are from Ontario, Canada. Who would drive from Canada? Have they not heard of planes? That's torture! I hate driving to Houston...let alone thousands and THOUSANDS of miles! We literally saw about 8 cars from there in about 5 minutes...driving on one road.

These all came about from personal experience.....sadly enough! :)

Anyways...now I'm home, and the work continues. I don't work tomorrow, which is very nice. I have a lot of straightening and cleaning of the clothes to do. BLECH. The puppies are very excited to see us...manic almost! :) Liberty's not limping at all...which makes her ready to start training for the Weiner Dog races..... :)

Must find glasses and take out contacts....

Welcome home! Your storytelling is priceless: I'll have to bring a copy of this entry with me when I finally get around to going. We've been to Florida twice in the last two years, but both times we've driven right through.

Maybe we'll stop next time.
