A Grown-up Day at Disney

Last week was our 14 year wedding anniversary and to celebrate and to take a much deserved break... Greg and I went to Disney World for the day! It wasn't easy to coordinate with three kids, but thanks to our great neighbors and friends we were able to make it happen. If you ever get the chance to go childless, I HIGHLY recommend it. Now don't get me wrong, I love my children more than life itself and I thoroughly enjoy taking them to Disney and having them experience all that fun and magic, but it was a refreshing change to be there without the whine-factor (well except for Greg). We hit all four parks in one day and rode all those rides that we never get to ride with the kids!! Thanks to Greg's long arms we were able to document our trip in pictures - of course they all look rather similar!















At Animal Kingdom we rode Expedition Everest! What a great coaster!
















At Disney MGM Studios we rode the Tower of Terror and the Rockin' Roller Coaster.

















Of course it wouldn't seem like Disney without a quick stop at the Magic Kingdom! Greg's big head is blocking Cinderella's castle!






And last, but not least, we stopped at Epcot for the "International Flower and Garden Festival." Really great displays with lots of the characters created out of plants. (You can see a bit of Captain Hook and the Crocodile in the background.)
We had a great time and plan on doing it again sometime - only next time we're taking more than one day! ;-)
