Last spring Shawn started talking about our next trip to Disney and suggested December. I thought SURE!, escaping the winter temps of northern IL to central FL in Dec. "SOUNDED" fabulous. So came Dec. 16th with snow, winds, and record high travel times in Chicagoland. Finally we arrived at the airport (4 1/2 hours later, usually a 60 mins. trip) in the snow, only to have our flight delayed a good 4 hours & 40 minutes. We finally took off at 11:30pm central time minus two large suitcases we had to leave behind (very long story but did get new shirts, pajamas, toothbrush, etc. at Disney!). We finally arrived at our hotel, the lovely Disney Boardwalk at 4 am. The girls handled it all very well. Kelly said our reward for all that stress was 4 1/2 days in sunny Florida!We visited 3 parks (Disney Hollywood Studios, the Magic Kingdom, and the Animal Kingdom), swam at the hotel, shopped at Downtown Disney, had a blast at a Luau at the Polynesian. Before we left on the 21st, we spent the morning with Shawn's parents and Meme Herrin and had a too short visit with Shawn's grandparents. The girls enjoyed a golf cart ride with Grandpa Reed before we had to head to the airport.
Our flight home was only delayed about 45 minutes, thank God but we left Tampa in the 80s and returned to OHare with minus 40 degree wind chills! Our bodies were in shock but full of fun memories of another great Disney vacation!!! Thank you Daddy!
