This morning I updated my itinerary with the latest tentative plans. The trip out west is taking shape and reservations need to be made. But it is coming together nicely and the excitement is building.
Sure wish I'd been thinking when Barbara took this picture. I would have turned to my left, eyes wide open, mouth agape in a blood curdling scream and hands thrown up like the little monster was about to eat me alive.! You'll just have to use your imagination this time until I can return for another photo op.
Before touring Dinoland, Barbara and I sat on a bench for over an hour, savoring our corn dogs, watching the people go by and waiting for the parade to begin. We had lucked into an excellent seat and when we realized it, didn't want to give it up. It was hard to get good pics of the parade, due to our location and the size of the moving exhibits. But it sure was fun! Lots of music, smiles, laughter and waving. There's nothing like a parade to boost your spirits, although ours didn't need much boosting at this point.
Tired from touring the animal kingdom all day, we headed to Downtown Disney to find a good restaurant for dinner. We had been frustrated the night before by the long lines and longer waits, so we got an early jump at the Rain Forest restaurant and had a wonderful time. Barbara headed to the bar and found 2 seats right away while I signed us up for a table. The table wait was very short, but by the time it came we were having so much fun at the bar, we didn't want to leave!

People were coming and going and Barbara has never met a stranger. Our bartender's name was Jacob and he was excellent! He was fast, efficient, friendly and anticipated our every need. Plus he had a sparkling personality and was just plain fun. Every so often the lights would dim, the lightening would flash, thunder would roll and the rain would come down-just like in a real rain forest. By the way, the margarita's were two of the best I've ever had! Thank you, Jacob!

Our ride home the next day was spent talking about our good memories and making plans to come back. We both want to see the Magic Kingdom, as it has been a long time since we've been there. It was truly a magical trip, thanks to Walt Disney and his imagination. What a brilliant man. He has always been a hero of mine and still is. Thanks for sharing this time with me, sis. It was terrific!

Since returning from DW, life has been very busy spending time with a new friend and catching up on chores, like laundry. The new friend departed a couple of days ago and life has returned to quiet solitude. I guess this is my new normal, and that's okay. Good memories fill my mind much of the time and plans for making new ones fill much of the rest. Meanwhile, there is nephew Jason's baseball to be enjoyed and a St. Patrick's Day party here at Sun n Fun this evening. I've never celebrated St. Patty's day much, so this year I'm going to focus on my grandson ( Patrick is his name and he certainly is no saint!), because he sure is cute and a fine little fellow. Thanks for stopping by and I hope your enjoyed your visit here!
