Happy Anniversary Baby!!

Thursday August 20 2009-We met with Ms Michelle and Miss Ma'am at Sonic for a quick supper.None us wanted to cook around my house and I don't think that they wanted to either.It was pouring when we left home but at least the bugs weren't out.So we all sat under the shelter and had food and lots of laughs.They brought ESH a gift...!! She was too excited that the presents had started so early.She got a Sleeping Beauty doll..YAY right up her alley....!!! THANKS GIRLS! Y'all know how excited she was about that :)


Friday August 21 2009-We were packed and ready to go.ESH was in a good mood.I would be too if I were turning 5 and had missed a week of school and was getting to go to Disney for my 5th birthday.
B had duty Thursday night but promised that as soon as he got off work that he was going to shower and head to O town to meet up with us.I hated taking 2 vehicles but you do what you have to do when you are in the Navy and they need you and your family needs you too.I started the morning by texting him letting him know that I was thinking about him on our 10 year meeting anniversary! You see..when I was pregnant and found out when I was due he said it would be cool if ESH was born on our meeting anniversary *she was due Aug 8th* UMM BUDDY that is 2 weeks apart! Well needless to say he jinxed me.I ended up induced and she wasn't born until the day AFTER our anniversary!!! I could have choked him.See I was married before and that was our wedding date * Aug 22 1992*...Just not a good time for our child to be born.But I have learned that it was a happy day because it is now ESH's Birthday.Just weird how all things connect in life in some way....ANYWAYS!!!
We packed up and took Nayla to the Pet hotel as ESH calls it...and were on our way...later that we wanted to be but oh well.
We stopped at the Crocs outlet *WE LOVE OUR CROCS* and ESH had to pee..IMAGINE THAT.We had to leave with no new shoes.But ended up in Claire's and she got new earrings with an E and some cat ears with a tiara *THANKS DRAN*.And we were on our way to BK for lunch.
Back on the road again....! I hate drivers of other vehicles.Especially from other places.I swear this weekend was full of crazy NJ/NY and NC drivers! They don't know that the right lanes are for passing not driving slow! I couldn't tell you how many I passed on the right because they were going 20 in the left lane.UGH!! Nothing I hate more..I want a sign in my window telling people what's on my mind.ROAD RAGE !! :)
So we get closer to Disney and start seeing the signs.I swear there use to be way more billboards and things up before you get to the resort area.I loved looking at the signs with MICKEY and the gang on them.Now it seems a little plain on I4.What happened?Were people tired of seeing the Happiest Place on Earth signs?Is it because there are so many grumpy people that travel I4 now? I just don't get it.
We take the turn and are welcomed by the GIANT WALT DISNEY WORLD entrance signs! WE MADE IT :)I get goose bumps still and I have taken this road a million times.
We follow the signs to Caribbean Beach Resort.I knew about our Pirate room but kept it secret.I have a dream and it is to stay at every resort on property.One day it will be done and we will start all over again!
Disney needs better signage too.I get so confused driving around.I guess that is why I am thankful for the buses.I only get confused when I drive.No wonder I have only done it 3 times.
So ... We find the resort and it starts POURING!! I mean it was coming down so hard till we didn't want to get out of the car.But we parked and sucked it up and ran through the rain.Our room was ready and we were in South Trinidad...Way at the back of the resort.We had a pool but we were far away from the Pirate pool.Oh well no biggie it looked like we were going to have to swim to the room anyway.I dropped ESH and Dran off and they looked while I parked.I got soaked.The van next to where I parked forgot to close the back sliding door.I bet they weren't happy when they found it flooded.
ESH was IN LOVE when we got into the room and saw JACK SPARROW! I had dressed her in her Pirate Minnie and Mickey skirt .. so she was super excited about where we were.I whipped out the birthday signs I made ... she found her towel animal and claimed it.The bathtub had the Flying Dutchman carved in the marble.The beds looked like pirate ships.It was super cool.
We dried off a little and headed to Downtown Disney for the night.We had planned on meeting B there but we didn't know how long the rain would hold off for us or how long he would be.

MORE LATER :) ESH is telling me she is starving again..
