We know how to do full days when we are at AAP and today was no exception. First the boys and I participated in the annual fun run at 8 AM. The run non-competitive and meant for all members of the family. Walker raced ahead and Mason and I hung back with the walkers. He […]
On our walk to breakfast, I had the boys pose here. The sign makes me laugh. It’s not the site of just any scene. It was a sleazy scene. We met Monique, Frankie, Camille, Mom and Dad at Richard Walker’s Pancake House. The restaurant was really busy, the quarters were tight and the food was […]
We wandered over to the Children’s Museum as our first stop of the day and happened upon a well named (and busy) neighborhood breakfast joint. Then we were off to meet Mary, John, Katie and Keegan for the morning. The museum was not too crowded and had a little something for everyone. Thank you, Walker, […]
We have been looking forward to this year’s AAP conference in San Diego for quite some time. It officially starts tonight with the opening reception so we took the opportunity to get settled, wander around the harbor and do a little sightseeing with Bill. The Convention Center was the hub of the activities. The boys […]
This is the reason why we do not leave until the last day of the AAP Convention. Our family loves the Pediatric Bowl. Pediatric residents from three local programs compete in medical Jeopardy. The set up is elaborate and the competition is humorously fierce. This year’s contestants… The Bowl gathers quite an audience because the […]
Sh…Don’t tell Mickey that we ditched him today. He might not approve of our Universal plan to visit our friend, Harry Potter. Our first stop in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was Hogwarts with Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. We were not allowed to carry anything on this ride—they provided lockers—so the photos […]
It was a beautiful sunny Sunday morning to take a cab ride to Mass. We went to the Mary, Queen of the Universe which wasn’t too far off the Disney compound. I was surprised that Disney did not have a universal place of worship or specifically a Catholic chapel with all of the people who […]
Today was the opening day for the AAP convention. Bill left early morning for his conferences and the boys and I headed to Blizzard Beach, a Disney water park. We didn’t take a lot of pictures at Blizzard Beach because cameras and water don’t mix well. Here are a few highlights of the day. We […]
We arrived at Magic Kingdom nearly at opening to take full advantage of our time there and as directed, we spent the day making memories and reliving them. Flashback to 2009 when we were last here! The sun was so bright but I wanted to recapture the boys in this exact spot. They have grown […]
We flew from Nashville to Orlando yesterday and boarded the Disney Magical Express to our hotel. Unlike last time when the boys were absolutely oblivious, this time they were highly energetic and full of smiles. We checked into the Disney Beach Club Resort and tried to settle down quickly. We had big plans to start […]
