I am just now getting around to blogging about our trip to Disney World which was 6 months ago. I’ve been putting this off because it seems like a daunting task but I want to remember every detail from this trip because as cliche as it sounds, it truly was magical. Buckle in, this is a long post. We were in Disney for 5 days from November 1st to November 5th. I was a little worried about how Ben would do on the plane ride, but the excitment of it and the activities I packed kept him pretty occupied. We had a direct flight and our plane left in the…

Summertime in Branson
I just love Branson. I’ve gone several times with family and friends and always have a blast. In fact, Mrs. Bojangles and I took a few trips to Branson way back in our childfree days. A few months ago my work had a silent auction fundraiser and I bid on and won a Branson package. Ben was so excited to go on a mini vacation and what better time since Summer is coming to an end. J had to work so my parents tagged along and off we went. We left Friday afternoon and made the nearly 4 hour car ride down to Branson. Ben was so good in the car watching…

Honeymoon in Italy (The Pantheon)
Our last day in Rome we headed to the Pantheon. The Pantheon is one of the best preserved buildings in Rome. The dome of the Pantheon. The circle is open to the outside and never covered. When it rains the rain comes in and drains through the drain holes in the ground. The drain holes in the floor. Everyone was looking at these and taking pictures. J and I had no idea what these were at the time so we took pictures in case they were something really important:) A little Egyptian in the middle of Rome. J and I ate lunch at a restaurant in the piazza right across…

Honeymoon in Italy (The Spanish Steps & Venice)
After a full day of sightseeing at the Vatican we wanted a day to sleep in, relax, and not have anything we had to see. I picked up these pastries for breakfast from a place near our hotel. I don’t think we even left our hotel until 3:00pm this day. We walked around, picked up a few gifts for people, and then decided to head towards the Spanish Steps. We got there right as the sun was setting and it was beautiful. Our first night in Rome when we got lost walking around, we actually walked down the stairs not even realizing it was The Spanish Steps. The next morning…

Honeymoon in Italy (Vatican City)
Did you know the Vatican is it’s own city? It’s also the smallest independent state in the world by both area and population. I want my own city/state. The outside of the Vatican was exactly how I pictured it from what I’ve seen in pictures and movies. Beautiful and enormous. People were really great about asking us if we wanted our picture taken together. We also offered to take other people’s pictures as well. We did the whole, I’ll take yours if you take mine thing. These chairs were still out from the day before. On Wednesdays, the general public can get tickets and listen to an address given by…
