C by the Sea: Disney

November 05, 2007

Ok. How did this happen?

Today our first grandchild -- and our only granddaughter -- turns 13! The magic number that makes her a teenager. Happy Birthday, Leah! We love you so much and could not be more proud of the wonderful young lady you are. May your future bring you all the things you dream of, with happy, healthy days and lots of wonderful memories along the way. xxxxxxxxxxxxxooooooooooooo!

To celebrate this momentous occasion Leah planned a fun 2 days in Disney for her mom Amy, her cousin Ashley, her friend Olivia and her old granny...me. We really had a jam packed visit and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We rode on rides (Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and Leah's first time on Tower of Terror to name a few. And no. Amy and I did NOT go on the aforementioned rides. We did go on some of the tamer ones though!), saw some cool shows, watched the fireworks spectacular, bought a few things and ate. Magic Kingdom on the first day and then MGM Studios the next. We finished off our Birthday Extravaganza by trying to finish off the Kitchen Sink dessert at The Beach Club. Here are some pictures...

...and here are a few more!

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs
