Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 When I read you had no plans for the day, I thought, "Oh, that would drive me crazy!" Then I read what you did. It sounded awesome. In spite of the yucky cinnamon roll, it sounds like a great day! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 That cinnamon roll looked pretty bad. You have saved me from ever trying one.Anna's lunch looked good.Fort days do not SMB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sherryberry 35 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 That's it! I'm heading back to Boma, in April. That was one of the restaurants we did every....single.....trip. But, I can't remember the last time we went. I think we just started trying other things instead of Boma, but you're reminding me how much I LOVE that place! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Flatbread, Fried green toms and French fries. That is my idea of any awesome lunch. Hang with the DW and kids at the pool sounds like a great way to spend the afternoon. Cinnamon roll? Maybe it's just me but it doesn't look very appetizing in the pic. I think I would have skipped it and split a kitchen sink with the girls. Ok who am I kidding. I wouldn't have share any of my ice cream. :rofl: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 LOVE the underwater pics. Super, super cute. I can always tell when my daughter has found my phone... there are random pictures and videos on it. Gotta love it, the girl will take a picture of our lamp :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 We sat under the awning for hours drinking coffee and relaxing. INC and I snuck away with Anna to Trails End for lunch. We spent a good amount of the afternoon at the pool. We were able to get Anna caught up on some sleep with a nice nap. We had dinner at the campsite. We went on a small evening excursion. We watched fireworks and the EWP from the beach. Sounds like an awesome day to me! (minus the lame cinnamon roll) Love Stella's selfies. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Love the underwater shots. Cold cinnamon rolls SMB. Yes they do SMB. They should be outlawed. We usually go in late October/early November, and I've never seen so many people at the pool! It's always too cold then. Stella did a great job with those photos. We've had December trips before where we haven't even put a toe into the pool. But it was quite warm most of the time we were there.....run the A/C warm. When I read you had no plans for the day, I thought, "Oh, that would drive me crazy!" Then I read what you did. It sounded awesome. In spite of the yucky cinnamon roll, it sounds like a great day! It was a good day! And I am becoming less of a planner as I get older. Mainly because I'm lazy and don't care anymore. LOL. That cinnamon roll looked pretty bad.

But cinnamon rolls do agree with me. Just not any of the current ones they sell at WDW. :D LOVE the underwater pics. Super, super cute. I can always tell when my daughter has found my phone... there are random pictures and videos on it. Gotta love it, the girl will take a picture of our lamp :) We sometimes end up with 200 pictures of Barbies on the iPad. Oy. Sounds like an awesome day to me!

lklasing 16 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Totally behind, but now totally caught up. Again. I love Stella's selfies. My girls fall into the same camp as your older ones - many fewer pictures overall, no underwater selfies, etc., at least when they were young. Now, pictures are so pervasive - on phones, cameras, everywhere it seems - that there's almost too many sometimes. Still an awesome report. Looking forward to more.

disney4dan 68 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Also enjoying digital photography - developed a roll of film the other day and it set me back $15. For 24 shots, some of which were the usual mistake shots of the ground or sky. Anyone remember having to save some of the vacation funds in order to develop the pictures? Great update, and sounds like a fun day of unplanned bliss. I could use one of those even at home! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now, I don't need to try one to find out. Darn that satanic mermaid and her evil cartel. TCD I have a dream that, somewhere on Disney property, there is an awesome but unheralded cinnamon roll waiting to be discovered. Way to take one for the team…no lame Cinnamon rolls! Someone had to do it. Also enjoying digital photography - developed a roll of film the other day and it set me back $15. For 24 shots, some of which were the usual mistake shots of the ground or sky.

I remember coming home with 4 or 5 rolls of film to take to get developed....and dropping some serious money! And OH MAN was it disappointing when a bunch didn't turn out. Now it's just "delete, delete" the bad ones. That much is good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Moving along......we've had several Fort days in a row, and believe it or not, we have TWO MORE to go before we step foot in a park again. Let's move on to December 29th. First, a bit of background on why this day was to be a big one for me. I am the youngest of 3. I have a brother that is 7 years older than me, and a sister 5 years older. My brother is the typical "first born over-achiever"....he's not only a doctor, but also a full Colonel in the Army. He is currently in the middle of a several year appointment as an instructor at the Royal Military Academy in Camberley, England, so we don't see him often. My sister lives in Illinois, and we don't get to see her much these days either. But my brother and his wife spent Christmas in the States with their kids (who are all grown), and my sister decided to make a quick trip to FL for New Years week with her "boyfriend". (Are 60 year old men considered boyfriends?) We had a 1 day window after my sister arrived in FL but before my brother flew back to England where we could all get together. And since my parents are only an hour away, that meant that the 5 of us could get together....a rare event! Since we didn't have a vehicle, we decided that a family reunion at the Fort would make the most sense. So that was our plan for 12/29! I was a little worried about them getting into the overflow lot, but fortunately being the 29th, and not the 30th or 31st when the big fireworks were going on, it was no problem. So by late morning we were all at the site in 100 enjoying each other's company. The setting.... Here is my brother, sister and me. SIL, Mom, sister and INC. Mom and her 3 kids. Sisters boyfriend, brother and me My mother wanted to get some pictures of all the adults....so we moseyed down to the Fort beach to get some shots. Then we decided to go on an excursion....to do a bit of resort hopping. On the boat! We ended up at the GF so we took advantage of the PP photographer. You can see that a handful of folks stayed back at the Fort....including INC. One can take only so much of my family...so this gave her some "out" time. LOL. I don't think I've introduced the person to the far right yet....that is my brother's youngest son. I'm not exactly sure what's going on here....but this is an actual Memory Maker photo. And that is all the pics I have of this day. I know that we made our way back to the motorhome, where we had a nice dinner outside of spaghetti, salad and bread. it was another beautiful day weather-wise, so it was very comfortable to sit outside even as it got later in the day....not always a given in late December. After dinner, everyone departed and left us back to settle in for the evening. We had yet another family visit planned for the following day....this one from INC's family. And we had an AWESOME dinner out to look forward to. Followed by two remaining park days including yet more Fiend encounters (and 1 remaining Fort day) before this all comes to an end. So, LOTS more yet to come. Thanks for hanging in there with me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Fort is a magical place. I can't understand why you don't have another trip planned there for this year already. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Awww family time!My brother and his wife live over in the MidEast. So, when they come back for a visit I generally head up to MD to visit. They are actually moving back to the states for a few years so, we will hopefully get together more often.
