I got to work, and was ready to finish up this project over the weekend and get back to the Fort on Monday night or Tuesday morning.

Well, and extension was issued and now it wasn't due until Thursday. We all had a pow wow, and decided that we could finish by Tuesday and that would still get me back to the Fort on Wednesday morning before my family arrived.

The Lord works in weird ways, cause originally I was hoping my kids could arrive on Monday evening, but their school schedules wouldn't allow them to come until Wednesday.

So after Friday's work, I get a call at the hotel about 11pm that one portion of the document would not be ready until Monday. I was as done as I could be, so I got the go ahead, and got online and I was on a plane for the WWW on Saturday morning!!!!!!!!

More pretty airplane shots at the crack of dawn!!

OK, continuing on, when we last left off, I was on a plane from Virgina to Orlando, with a layover in Charlotte. I got to MCO and waited on the shuttle to the long term parking where Rick had left my truck when he flew home on Thursday afternoon. (It's a good thing that logistics is a strong suit of mine, or else getting me and everybody else where they needed to be would have been a NIGHTMARE).

I would NOT recommend the long term lots at MCO, it took the shuttle FOREVER to arrive. I kept seeing some offsite parking where the shuttles were showing up about every 3 minutes, but what you don't know you don't know.

After finally getting to my truck, I headed towards Disney and stopped in Goodings for some goody's for the girls weekend. I figured they had all been to Wal-Mart already, so wanted to contribute to the food supply (boy was I off base there!!!)

As I was on my way, I called Lorna to check in on folks. I was hoping to time it where I pulled up while I was on the phone, but it was taking me forever to dig my key card out to let myself in the back gate, so I didn't quite plan that right, but I did surprise everyone.

And now to the womenz pics!!! (Almost all of these have been posted on KFK's report)

After I got the truck unloaded, the camper unlocked, popped the top on a wine cooler, and dug out my camera, I find the girls enjoying leftover GAG

OK, we finally get our act together and move cars up front and get ourselves to Wal-Mart.

We come back to find a big bottle of smell remover on the picnic table.

We knew what it was for, but somebody made the comment "Do we really smell that bad??"

We prepared the cooler for the necessities and everybody put away groceries and started making dinner!

Donnie stopped by with his girlfriend and her daughter

At some point weallly, weallly late, we finally all drifted off to bed, visions of laughter dancing in our heads, and full from all the good eats!!

Saturday dawned at some point, and we continued the laughter the next morning, most of us still in our jammies!!

The photos don't do the wild justice, plus Kim is a MUCH better storyteller than I am!!
