We had to stop in Philly for a world famous cheesesteak challenge!!! Our pick was..... Pats!!! But oh my they were both DELICIOUS!!!! 

Visiting family and having quality cousin time❤️

Visiting more family with more cousin fun at a quintessential family amusement park in beautiful PA.

We just couldn't pass up donning these hats for our coal mine tour!!!

 

And after fun, family, pizza, ice cream, shopping, and soooo much more, we capped off our trip with a stay in Savannah for my Bday❤️ 

What would a Savannah trip be without a lovely birthday luncheon at Paula Deens The Lady and Sons, the perfect place to nourish, and refresh with a sweet tea, your weary bones after shopping, sightseeing, shopping, soaking up the historic southern splendor, and of course more SHOPPING!!! Lol!!! TTYL❤️

Disney Mania!!!

Starwars weekend no. 1

We have been Disneying it up lately!!! We've visited Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, & Universal Studios too. (Yes, I realize they are not Disney... But they had a Huey Lewis and the News concert that the hubs just couldn't pass up!!)

Sorry for the poor quality pic, but it was really cool meeting John Ratzenberger and the actor behind... Darth Maul!!!

Dinner at the Sci Fi "Dine in"

My little making custom Droids for his collection.

This was soooo cool!!! Brittany & Connor had themselves commissioned as Stormtrooper figurines!!! They are amazing!!!!

This is the Snack bar in the... Wait for it.... Darth Mall!!! Lol!!!

 

The following weekend we went back to another Star Wars Weekend!!! This time to meet Billy Dee Williams and.... Mark Hamill!!!!!! 

Then next up was my Connors 10th Birthday Disney Cruise aboard the Disney Dream!!

When we arrived in our Private Veranda Stateroom we were greeted with a fully decorated room!! Including a custom birthday magnet on our door.

Upon disbarking we had a champagne Bon voyage on our veranda.

1st Birthday cake celebration!!!

My favorite!! Castaway Cay (Disney's private Carribbean island)

So after hitting Orlando twice to visit Disney, and hopping aboard the incredible Disney Dream where we voyaged to the Bahamas (Paradise island & Nassau) we visited Atlantis, took a glass bottom boat tour to see the beautiful Carribbean underwater world including a real shipwreck!! We made it back home to celebrate our Connors Godzilla themed Birthday party with family & friends, and get ready for our annual summer vacation!! TTYL❤️

European Vacation Part I

We recently "crossed the pond" to " jolly old England" where we stayed in London, toured the British countryside and ventured to Blackpool Pleasure Beach. We also decided to hop the Eurostar train to Paris where we took in the sights, sounds, and life of the beautiful "City of Lights". We also opted to visit both Versailles and..... Mickey Mouse!! Yep! We went to Disneyland Paris parks to see Mickey, Euro- style!! I'm just going to post a pictorial of our recent excursions and since we have so many pics to share I figured I'd split it up into a few different posts. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did taking them!! So without further adieu....

Fields that seem to go on forever, we couldn't help but break into Wizard of Oz tunes!!
