Oh the Places We Go, The People We See ...Dream Trip Report

[jenseib]

Taking pictures with a drink in hand is not easy, so I just randomly shot.

[jenseib]

I took a walk over by Cookies BBQ Too and got a few shots.

[jenseib]

Those are some pretty bad shots of the buffet and they were getting close to shutting it down, but at least I got a few.

While I was out walking and drinking my cool beverage, the family was just chillaxing as well.

[jenseib]

I continued my walk around as well. I was trying to get a glimpse of areas I had not seen before.

But when you drink a tropical drink, nature calls.

[jenseib]

I didn’t do it this time, but it was tempting.

I had never made it down this far last year.

Or if I did, I don’t remember!

[jenseib]

This picture makes me think of the Poly.

[jenseib]

Spring a Leak! We made it here on our last visit and Claire had a great time. It’s a splash type area and I took lots of pictures ….. BUT ….. they were all on the card that I lost that trip. It still irks me that I never found that lost memory card.

From the back side of Spring a Leak you can see the Teen area.

[jenseib]

I made it back over by Cookies BBQ Too and they had now closed up. I took a seat and had a little rest.

I took this video for some reason. I am thinking it was because of the music. It kind of had a circus sound to Be Our Guest.

After my rest, I continued on taking more pictures.

I absolutely LOVE this picture.

I walked over and checked out the Pelican Plunge too.

[jenseib]

I just love the view of the ship from the beach!

Hi everyone. I apologize for not moving faster. I just can't seem to find enough time each day to update and do life things as well. I do have an update ready now though. So thanks for sticking with me.

I do want to let you all know that Friday afternoon I will be heading down to my sisters house (2 1/2 hours away) with Claire and my Mom and then on Sat. all 4 of us are flying to Virginia. We are going to spend a week in the Colonial Williamsburg area and educate Claire as well. I'm pretty excited and I am going in with a more relaxed attitude as my sister just doesn't want to make much in the way of plans. VERY hard for me to do.

We do plan to spend about 3 days at Colonial Williamsburg and vist 2 or 3 Plantations in the area. Also a day at Bush Gardens is planned.

 

I'll try to get as many updates as I can up before now and Friday, but I just wanted to let you know that after that it will be over a week before I'll be back to work on this again.

Thanks for your patience!

 

So are you going to do a trip report for this trip too? I really hope you do and find a way to let us know where we can read it. :D

I will eventually, but not till after I am done with this one. it is just too hard to write 2 reports at the same time. I'll probably post it on Dis and passporters and theme park review because I had people ask me already about it as well.

I also will post it on my blog. When I actually start it I'll let you all know, but it will be awhile.

I am also on facebook and plan to try and post pictures there from my phone during the trip. If anyone wants to be facebook friends, send me a PM and I can give you my name.

Okay, I must be half asleep still! How do you send a PM on this site?:confused:

Oh gosh, it looks like that option is gone. let me go and see for sure.

[jenseib]

I have been told if you type in jenseib on facebook search my name is popping up. I'll help you a bit with that and tell you I am from Ohio.!

Got it!

It was time to end my walk. I had actually thought about checking out Serenity Bay, but I figured I had been gone long enough and should get back to my Daughter.

The family had been having fun without me.

When I arrived back, my parents had gone back to the ship, and I think Gail had taken Abby back as well. Claire had been having a ball and did not miss me one bit.

[jenseib]

Most of the gang wanted to go to Pelican Plunge, so we packed up our area and sent the girls off to get rinsed.

I chose not to go on the slides because that’s not my thing. They all got ready and the little ones got on life jackets.

It’s always exciting when you are going to do something fun with Uncle Geoff.

I stayed at the shoreline with the bags and tried to watch their progress, but it was really hard to see as the sun was shining right behind the slides and I was practically blinded.

I resorted to taking pictures around the area.

[jenseib]

Every so often I would zoom in and see if I could tell if they were at the top yet.

I decided to get creative and take pictures of my footprints. I walked in the sand, then I made a big hop over to the side and came back and took the picture.

[jenseib]

After a while it appeared that Claire was coming down. I think this is her splash.

[jenseib]

One by one they all came down. Katie tried to stay near the slide to catch Jude but the life guard yelled at her and wouldn’t let her. Jude came flying down and got quite a bit of water up his nose. I don’t think he cared for it so much then.

I think some of them made the decision to go a 2nd time around.

We then decided it as getting time to head back to the ship. We still had time, but we all needed to get showered for early dinner.

We rinsed off, returned the tubes and then of course we couldn’t leave without a bit of shopping.

I don’t think anything was bought. Well Alexis might have, but I am pretty sure we didn’t buy anything.

[jenseib]

We then made our way back to the ship. Geoff and I took several pictures along the way and I’ll post some from both of us. I am thinking that Geoff walked and we took the tram.

I wish I could take credit for the next couple, but Geoff took them.
