More Spring Break 2009

FYI: Sorry for the long post!
Since Mike was able to take Thursday and Friday off, we headed to Orlando for a long weekend. We had so much fun and many memories! Thursday and Friday we enjoyed going to the Happiest Place on Earth, Walt Disney World. It's our home away from home. We people watch and ride our favorite rides: Pirates, Buzz Lightyear, Toy Story Mania, Wedway People Mover (I don't even know if that is the real name, but that is what my family has always called it.), and the Jungle Cruise. I know you may be thinking--the jungle cruise--That has always been a favorite ride of mine. I always look forward to how our tour guide is going to be. I love the dry humor and the "stupid" jokes. I learned some new Disney jokes, so I thought I would write the the joke and have you try and guess the answer. The next day I will reveal the answer!

Here's the first joke: Why does Peter Pan always fly?




Friday was a very eventful day! We received a text from a friend who inspects carpets and Disney had called him to inspect the carpets at the Treehouse Villas. These villas will be part of the Saratoga Springs Vacation Club this summer! He knew we were over there and wanted to know if we wanted to earn some extra cash and have a new job experience on our resumes. (Not that we are looking for jobs--I hope. . .) We had to pick up a few things from a nearby store that has everything, so that we could do our job correctly!! So Friday morning, we woke up to a thunderstrom and rain. We made it to the Treehouses and we were told that we wouldn't need hard hats, but that was not the case. After a few phone calls and driving around for a bit, we were able to "inspect the carpet" in one of the villas. We had fun and even took a few fun pictures! :-) The Treehouses are very nice and make us want to get the Disney Vacation Club!!! (I walked in my classroom this morning and what did I find--my very own yellow hard hat! I'm going to keep it in my car, you never know when I'll need one!)

The Flower and Garden Show is going on at EPCOT right now and the flowers and toparies are beautiful! The have "Flower Power" concerts on the weekends during this time of year and we went to see 'The Turtles:Flo and Eddie'. (They sing "So Happy Together" and many more hits from the 60's.)


Saturday evening we went to my aunt and uncle's house in Orlando and had a delicious dinner. They live on Lake Windermere(Tiger Woods lives on a lake connecting to Lake Windermere), so we went down there for the sunset. We missed it by a couple of minutes, but we were still able to get some beautiful pictures.


On Saturday my parents arrived with my sister and neice. We had a fun time watching Maggie enjoy Disney World for the 2nd time--and she's only 9 months old! We enjoyed a nearby mall on Saturday and dinner with my aunt and uncle. Sunday we headed to EPCOT for a day full of flowers and fun!


Maggie loves to have her picture taken! And I love taking her picture!

  1. Amy,

    What a great friend you must have that worked it out so you could get a sneak peek at the Disney Treehouse Villas, although it doesn't look like it was all fun and games. (I haven't heard anything about you needing to look for a job!)

    I think I have the answer to your joke, but I don't want to ruin your big reveal, so I will send my guess to you privately.

    Thanks for the update!

  2. Becky's answer is, "Because he would get stuck in the peanut butter." But, I feel confident in the answer I sent to you.
