To roll the wheels and head out to more adventures. We plan (unless nothing changes) to head out on April 4th west on I-10. Our plans are to head out to Arizona to visit Tom and Darlene at their new estate. Tom recently retired and they are in the process of moving out of the city into a country place.
Over Ella's Mardi Gras break we flew out to Disney World for a few days. We have been to Disney World a few times with Scott & Mike when they were much younger but being boys we have never taken time to do "girl stuff". So we were on a quest to see all the princesses. And I think we did. All were in Magic Kingdom except for Anna & Elsa the newest stars of Frozen who were at Epcot. OK Mickie, what's the reasoning for that? After using our last tickets to get into Epcot and finding out there were NO fast passes and the wait time was 4-1/2 hours to see them couldn't Disney figure out a better way to do that? And NO Elsa paraphernalia for sale anywhere? HUH? OK, I'll play nice.
While Cindy was figuring out any way to see Anna & Elsa a dad passed by and told me that we could see them in the gift shop at the end of the line. So we did see them but Ella didn't get to meet them and get their autographs. But what do you do in Epcot with a 5 year old? We made the best of the day but would have rather spend the day at Magic Kingdom.
Anyway it was a great trip and we all enjoyed it immensely.
Saturday morning we packed up and headed to the airport. The flights were good except for trying to exit the plane in Charlotte. We had an hour layover but someone was taking their sweet time gathering their carryons and it took us 15 minutes just to exit. Then we had to rush from one end of the airport to the other end. Finally reached our gate and found out it had changed. So we rushed back 8 gates to sit down and catch our breaths. And just after we sat down we started boarding. Poor Ella had a tough time keeping up with us and slept the entire flight!
Oh by the way I'm officially old now. I turned 60 on the 19th! We spent a nice day boiling crawfish with our kids at Scotts house. It's really nice to have everybody together. Then we had someone come clean the carpet in the coach and we drove to Baton Rouge to have dinner with Mike and spend the night. We ate at Romans Cafe and all had Lebanese cuisine. Very good and even Cindy liked it.
Now we're just finishing up with items to be able to head out. Cindy is spending the remaining time with her mom and aunt Lou and I'm finishing up with my projects and putting tools back in storage.
Today we get to pick up Ella at noon and spend the day with her. Yay!
