Golden Tickets

December 2, 2009 · 10 comments

Oh ye of little faith.  Whatdya mean you didn’t think I’d post today?  Sheesh.  Give a girl some street cred would ya?  I mean, just because I posted for thirty-one straight days in a row doesn’t mean that I’m going to use that as an excuse to suddenly disappear and leave you all waiting on bated breath to see what is going on in my little corner of the desert.  I mean really, what kind of blogger do you think I am?

Now that we have that straightened out I have something to tell you.

I may be scarce for the next few days.

What?

I’ve got places to go.  People to see.  Flights to catch.

That’s right.  I’m a regular world traveler these days.

I’m headed back to… (go ahead, guess).

If you guessed Orlando, you’d be right.

But first the family is headed to Northern Arizona.  We’ve got golden tickets for the Polar Express.  This will be the first year we’ve done it and I’m just a touch excited.  Maybe not so much excited about the forecasted high of 35 (yes that was THIRTY-FIVE degrees Fahrenheit).  Seriously.  Thirty-five?  In Northern Arizona?  You’d think we’d entered the Tundra or something.  But no, I’m not excited for the cold.  I’m excited for the sight of the train chug, chug, chugging into the station.  And making the short trip up to the North Pole with my family.

And then I’m leaving on a jet plane en route to Florida (where the high better be at least double what it is in Northern Arizona).  I get to meet the new Moms!  Of course, seeing the castle all aglow in thousands of twinkly lights ain’t so bad either.

But I’ll be home soon enough.

With pictures.

Pinky swear.

We are having a Polar Express themed party for Max’s 6th birthday next Friday. They are going to watch the movie in 3D and we even have made arrangements for a special guest all in red to make a quick stop from the North Pole to greet all 22 kids in our house (yep…they all accepted…wasn’t expecting that)! Anyway, we have tried in years past to get tickets to that in NJ, but it doesn’t come very close to this area.

Have a magical time in WDW. I hope the new moms have the time of their lives this year! Travel safe!

Wow that IS cold for Northern AZ! Here in MN the high is only ten degrees colder. But it just recently turned cold. We enjoyed 40s and 50s all of November. Records for us. Turned out to be the 2nd warmest November on record. Go global warming! Not that I believe all that rig-a-ma-roll…but you know…

Have fun on the choo-choo and with Mickey!
