Monday, May 25, 2026 The new greatest thing is to come home from a trip and have someone bring you dinner!! What an amazing treat! Jeffrey, Johanna, and Adalynn brought us a Memorial Day feast. We provided the only thing we had in the house – condiments. Adalynn took Lightning McQueen out for his inaugural
Sunday, May 24, 2026 We flew home via Dublin, because Aer Lingus was half the price of Delta. We’ve still never officially been to Ireland because we didn’t leave the airport, but it still felt fun to stop there. I had my best airplane meal ever – chicken breast with mushroom sauce and some light
Saturday, May 23, 2026 We didn’t actually start the day with a twisty popsicle, except we basically did. We’d dropped our luggage off and had breakfast and walked to World of Adventure. It was a hot day – it was cold four days ago! I was ready for a cold treat. We went to see

Friday, May 22, 2026 I started my day by forgetting my phone. I sat down and Keith went back for it. He will definitely have more steps than I will today. I was outside the laundry area of the neighboring hotel. There was a little boy playing on a tablet and a dad asleep on

Thursday, May 21, 2026 There are big face balloons of Mickey and Minnie. We have thought they were the actual characters so many times when we see them coming around a corner or out of the corner of our eyes. I was going to take a picture of a bunch of Mickeys when they attacked
Wednesday, May 20, 2026 People staying at Disney hotels get in an hour earlier than regular people. We got up early. We took showers. We found a major flaw in our cute hotel. The shower water goes from SCALDING to FREEEEEZING with no warning. Oh. It was bad. Keith heard me making little schrieks and

Tuesday, May 19, 2026 We asked for help in buying train tickets from Paris to Disneyland. We knew where we were going, but couldn’t find the right machine. The official train website said for a single ticket we didn’t need to buy a train card and we could buy from the blue machines by the
Monday, May 18, 2026 Our very lovely breakfast buffet had Coke in bottles as a beverage option. Wow. We considered flying to Paris. I’m so glad we took the train. No security hassle, no being there early, comfy seats, good views. Sometimes France looked like the POTD, but sometimes it looked like this or this
Sunday, May 17, 2026 We got up at 5:45 so we could get to our excursion bus before 6:45. We are really really really not used to getting up early. Our guide, Pablo, promised that he would keep it quiet so we could all sleep a little bit. He lied. About every 10 minutes he
Saturday, May 16, 2026 We are off the boat! We saw the back of the boat for the first time. We got off with Julie and Kristine, waited 75 minutes for passport control (they took everyone’s fingerprints!), then contacted rideshares to get going. Then they were gone! So weird. They went to La Sagrada Familia.
