The trip, another birthday and MaMaZina
March 7th, 2010 by Paula

She’s back…

Yes, I am.  And I survived my vacation with the kids for two weeks.

It started out with 2 1/2 days of driving, south, to Florida – from Vermont.  We lucked out on the way down and didn’t run into any blizzards, earthquakes or tornadoes.  On arrival in SMW at my parents house we ordered some pizza and wings and visited with family that I hadn’t seen in 3 years.  Then, we snoozed.

Up early the next morning we (me, my parents and kids) packed up and headed out for Disney.  The weather was perfect, we were a car full of happy campers.  

We arrived at The Wilderness Lodge and the kids couldn’t wait to check out the place.  We had two rooms on the 4th floor and queen size beds.  The boys were happy to see bigger beds — and a snack lounge.  If you’ve never checked out The Wilderness Lodge before, you really should on your next trip to Disney.  It’s way cool  (especially The Whispering Canyon Cafe)!

Over the next several days we visited Downtown Disney, Epcot, The Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios.  We went on rides, saw shows, ate some awesome food (loved The Rose & Crown in the United Kingdom and Bob Marley’s at Universal) and shopped till we dropped!
