Day 2 - Key West

Well, Dan and I have been in the Key's in the past, so this wasn't a huge difference for us - but we had fun:)

Pic 1 - Our Tour Train - we learned about all the comings and goings of KeyWest! How it came to be - the buildings, the flowers, and even about Hemingway Pic 2 - Farthest most point of the United States

Ok, for dinner that evening we were in restaurant: Animators - it's the one that changes colors, and images....well it's cool, kinda - by the end of the evening, the whole restaurant is a diff color and a "show" happens with Mickey!!!

a big Big BIG BOAT...

So now that it's been 1 week since I got back from the Mickey Boat - I'm finally feeling settled - so I thought I'd drop a few "moments" in time while on the floating array of character fun!

Our first night on the boat - we opened the door to our "Stateroom" - not room, not boatroom, not hotel room - they are called staterooms - now we my hubby and I have been on cruises before - open door and walk into bed persay - and sit on toilet with feet in shower stall persay - very cramped indeed -- The Disney Stateroom - and yep IT should be called that, was THREE TIMES bigger than ANY cruise room I've ever been in - and we had the cheapest room.........

Two bathrooms, King Bed, Double door closet, a couch that flipped into a bed for Tim, and armoire, and a huge desk/dressor - tv - and....AND ..... AND a portale to the real world of ocean blue.

Our dinner that night was in "Lumiere's" - a nice French Restaurant complete with all rose items - with a GIGANTIC mural of Beauty and the Beast - we found out that our server was for the week - Emmanual - and we'd be switching between restaurants everyday - he would always be our servor.....More Tomorrow - every day I'll add more stuff:)

Chandelier in Lumiere's - can you find the roses?

Mural in Lumiere's -

Another chandelier - love the "hanging rose" - it was really beautiful!

Sad

What a sad life........

I'm leavin on a Jet Plane....

Well seriously, how many things does a person need to take with them for a 7 day cruise? 4 Large suitcases later, a carryon of kid krap, and carry on for our first day there, and well a carryon of just diaper junk....seriously!

Incase i haven't mentioned the buzz in my home - we, the entire family, is going on a Disney Cruise this weekend...wow.
And when ya cruise you don't just have shorts and tees - no you have dressup clothes, dress down clothes, shoes for the up time and shoes for the down time, the suits and I don't just mean the swimming ones. Then you have the kids stuff - bedding, sleep friends, toys, etc. And of coarse I'm freaking out of the littlest things like we may forget - Like wholly cow if we forget a night light - well I won't go there!

The other thing I'm freaking out about - diapers....like do I have enough? She could wind up having serious diarrea - seriously! Do they sell them on board - I suppose so but I'm sure it's like 1.00 per diaper!

In our house - the "Mickey Boat" has consumed our lives this week. Even so much as Tim is packing his favorites in a bag that he can live without for a night...cuz well we might forget it if it's not packed...ie: Spots his dog. And if Natalie sees it going in, well her doll has to go in - and well then she looses it cuz it went bubye in the suitcase - tears and crying later Mom rescues the baby from the claws of the suitcase - horrible monster.

So I won't be around at all - to type my life with 2 -- but I'm sure you can imagine the fun I'm going to have chasing down to little ones, on a boat with only God knows how many people - and the excursions - well just pray for me:)

One sentence, a day wrapped up into....

mom shivers with blankets all about her, typing with one hand, wiping nose with the other.
glances over to the very obnoxious, loud, eldest child of her flock.

"Tim why are you still in pajamas?"

"Cuz, you haven't changed me yet."

One sentence, it's the explanation of my miserable day - and it's 3:00 PM.
