We are back from our fabulous week in Disney!  We did a whirlwind trip in August for Tara and Justin’s wedding, so this was our first week away as a family.  I am happy to report that Leanne is a great traveler.  She did so good on the plane, slept great in her pack and play in the hotel and was a total joy to be around the entire week!  She even cut two new teeth while we were down there (what is with this girl and teething in Disney?).  We were lucky enough to have Jay’s parents come down with us which really helped a ton!

We had a jam packed week and were able to hit all the Disney parks and spend a day at the Universal Parks.  Leanne loved the rides!  I think her favorite was the parking lot tram.  She seems to especially enjoy the wind in her face.  Hopefully that is a sign that as soon as she is tall enough she’ll be riding all the roller coasters with Daddy, Mommy and Grandpa!  Leanne also really liked Small World, Finding Nemo in Epcot, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Buzz Lightyear ride.  She went on the Haunted Mansion twice and fell asleep both times.  Leanne also enjoyed meeting the characters.  She wasn’t scared of them at all and only cried when her turn with them was up.

We had wonderful weather - the begining of the week was in the low 80’s with no humidity, but as the week went on it got hotter and more humid.   Disney was always a ton of fun before we had Leanne, but I must say that having her with us made it so much more fun, even if she doesn’t really “get it” yet.  It was great to get away and get some very much needed family time.  We had a great week, but I think we are all happy to be home.  Traveling with a 16 month old is completly exhausting even with extra help!

Be sure to check back for pictures.  We have a ton!  I am sure that Jay will be posting them soon!
