The One With The 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing

It is hard to believe, but today is the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing. I was definitely not alive to see the first one (nor was Emmie, or Bri, or Kiff), but it has always been one of those hallmark moments in life.

Growing up, it was even more of a moment because our next door neighbor for a time was an astronaut who eventually rode on the shuttle. Seeing someone training for space missions was always so inspiring (not to mention he sometimes came next door and shot baskets on our hoop with us).

It is hard to believe that 50 years have passed since that memorable day. As we looked at the moon this week in Florida, it made it even more amazing that it has been so long since a return.

Happy Golden Anniversary

The One With the Magic Kingdom

We visited the Magic Kingdom last night and had a blast, despite the fact that there was a 3 inch deluge that we had to wait out.

A few things we did at first were:

• Peter Pan's Flight (our first ride)
• Prince Charming's Carousel
• It's A Small World

After that, we went to Cinderella's Castle for Dinner. That was a fantastic time. We arrived and had the chance to meet Cinderella - always a royal good time. Then, we went up into the upper room of Cinderella's castle where her restaurant was. What a fabulous time!

There we had a great dinner, complete with visits from Aurora, Ariel, Snow White, and Jasmine. That was fabulous.

Bri and Kiff got autographs from the princesses as well as our kind waiter, James. 

To top it off, the fireworks were happening outside as we ate, which was an extraordinary experience to witness in the park. 

What an awesome time.
