Vacation Recap (LONG)
Ladies - I missed you! But DH and I had an amazing vacation in so many ways. But I'll get to that.
Sunday was DH's birthday. My parents took us out to lunch at a really swanky seafood restaurant near their condo before they had to head to the airport to head back to Michigan. It was awesome. They also drove us around to help us acclimate to the area.
Monday we spent the entire day (9am-9pm) at Epcot. It was the hottest day of the week, with temps just below 90*. We had lunch in England and dinner in Mexico, dessert in France and vino in Italy. It was so much fun!
Tuesday was a recovery day, and our only item on the agenda was to visit the fertility statues at Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum. We signed the guestbook for the statues and totally rubbed up on them. We didn't care if the employee standing guard thought we were crazy.
Wednesday was a shopping day. We went to the Premium Outlets and Downtown Disney. We spent WAY too much money, but got a ton of great stuff. However, the purchases made DH's luggage 4lbs over the $50 limit and we had to pay $90 (on top of the $25) to check his bag. But what were we supposed to do?? We don't travel with carry-ons, so we couldn't take 4lbs worth of stuff out.
Thursday was Animal Kingdom day! It was so much more fun than we expected. We went on a Safari, rode a great roller coaster and ate at a great African buffet for lunch. It was the most beautiful day of all at about 75* and partly cloudy.
Friday we slept in, and then went back to Downtown Disney, this time to experience the bars. We drank a few beers at the outdoor Irish pub, then had dinner and a pitcher of sangria at the caribbean restaurant/bar, then back to the Irish pub for bread pudding and more beer. We probably sounded like a couple of drunks on FB for anyone who was following us during the trip!
But the best part of the vacation (which I found out today), was that I ovulated. That's right kids, I might have brought home a really great souvenir from this vacation ... and I'll know in about two weeks 
Maybe those fertility statues actually DO work?!?

Wow!!!! Tons and tons and tons of baby dust coming your way in the next 2 weeks!
I will however say that though I am not pregnant and won't be by the GTG unless my IUD fails anyone is welcome to my wine as well. I am not a big drinker and rarely drink wine it give me headaches.
