The whole reason for us being here this week instead of a week that would have been way more convenient for school schedules and vacation schedules is because Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure does not start their holiday festivities until the second week of December. Don’t ask me why. It’s a tragedy that we…

First, before this blog goes anywhere, I went to post a HUGE THANK YOU to my father-in-law’s friend Richard. We can’t tell him how grateful we are to him for gaining our admission to EPCOT. We all had a great time, got a big dose of the Christmas spirit, and truly appreciate you going out…

Tonight is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, so we’re going to try to take the morning easy. We get up when we’re ready – which for me means by 6:30, and the rest of the crew by about 8:30. I offer the kids breakfast now, pool later or reverse, and of course, they are kids. …

As a person who has had a gastric bypass procedure, it can sometimes be challenging to find something on the menu at a mainstream restaurant that I can – or want to – eat. As an overweight person, I didn’t realize how absolutely HUGE the portions can be at restaurants, so no matter where I go…

You know when you plan the perfect vacation, and everything is falling into place, and you can’t wait to get started, watching the kids enjoy themselves and then you start to relax and enjoy yourself?

So, we sleep a little bit later than usual this morning, and no one is really anxious to get up and moving, since we were up so late last night. Grace bounced from bed to bed until Jim finally put her down, asleep, with Eilis on the fold out sofa. Jim’s mom has to work…

After a flight where Granuaile has kicked the hell out of the seat in front of her enough times that the person sitting in it has relocated; my bag took a tumble, spilling all of the important contents out onto the floor, which then slid down to the back of the plane; and losing the…

Arriving at the airport shortly before 5:30, we check our bags curbside, put the baby in the stroller, and we head inside. I check Jim’s flight schedule and see that he’s delayed, and instead of arriving at 6:45, he won’t be here until 7:30. I can’t wait that long to feed the kids, so we…
