On Tuesday, the 24th, my Aunt and Uncle cooked us an awesome meal. T-bone steaks, baked potatoes, fresh broccoli, biscuits and a side salad. Yum!
On Wednesday, the 25th, I took my Aunt and Uncle to the airport. I only had to get up 30 minutes earlier than I normally do for work so it wasn’t a big deal. I dropped them off, came home, took a shower and got ready for work.
As you may remember, my birthday was on the 23rd. Here’s what my zany friend Alix made for me. She’s been obsessed with making goofy videos. Enjoy.
Wasn’t that a hoot? She’s crazy. She used a picture of my friend, Carolyn and me.
I keep forgetting to mention… DISNEY. This years big vacation is for Disney in the fall. Even though we lived 3 hours away from it, Jim has been wanting to go. We haven’t been to Disney in several years. What do I think? Sure, sounds fun, count me in. Jim worked on planning it our. We were going to get a travel agent to plan everything but he didn’t want to wait and he wanted to coordinate it all himself. So… that’s what he did.
We wanted to be able to stay on property. We’ve never done that. Our first choice was The Contemporary. The one with the monorail right through it. That place is way expensive. A no go. Jim looked at some other options, and some available deals. We thought about staying off property. Pros, cons. What if… Well, we settled on Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. The price was OK but they had a meal package deal going and we signed up. A free counter service, 1 free table service and 1 snack per day on Disney property reeled us in. Hey, we like to eat AND Disney food is crazy expensive.
Disney sure goes out of its way to make the experience awesome. We get customized mail, DVD’s to review, and eventually some bracelet thingy that I’ll mention again later. I’m sure I’ll mention lots of Disney stuff later.
Grandma left the weekend of the 28th. She wasn’t feeling 100% so she decided to skip her class reunion and head back to Georgia and then eventually home to Florida.
For July 4th, which was on a Friday, Jim and I took a half day Thursday to get a head start on the 3 day weekend! Off to Augusta. What an amazing weekend.
We were having a great weekend and then Saturday, this happened:
The right side tires lost a duel with a curb. 2 tires popped, $275 later. One rim is chewed up a little on the edge. We’ll worry about that later.
We got the RV cleaned on the inside. I vacuumed, wiped everything down and then steam cleaned the carpets. Here’s the last personal thing we removed.
This was given to us at our send off party in August of 2008 by our friend, John Anderson. It was sad to part with it.
