Dreaming of SCAL

It's cold and raining here. I wish I was back at the DLR!

  1. Preview: The Disney Family Museum

    I was lucky and received a membership as a birthday present from my parents, who love me if not my Disney fascination. Members got free preview tickets, and I went with my Mom and daughter (age 6.5) that weekend past as early in the day as I could get tickets (two other groups -- D23 and the Carolwood Club -- were previewing that day as well).

  5. Because you begged for more

    It's days like this that make surfing online and dreaming of a DLR vacation so inviting.

    We have cold, wet, and wind here in my neck of the woods today. There is a toddler napping in his room, who will have to be woken up in the middle of it for a doctor's visit. His preschool sister is full of beans, and cannot go more than two minutes without breaking out into "Mommy, look! Mommy, why?" Paperwork. Housework. Late night schedule for husband at work.
