Surprise Vacation- Day 2

 Tiana made us breakfast- beignets!



 We LOVE being in Disney for the Flower and Garden Festival!











 They were filming "The Middle" in Epcot (we don't watch it, but still very cool to watch the filming process)
 Our new favorite place to eat...Teppan Edo!  









 Oh yeah- she is tall enough for the rollercoasters!  No fast passes this time, but just wait until we go back!  



 Best snack at Disney- white chocolate covered strawberries!





 Another favorite spot to eat!
 We LOVE the Mousekeepers and their cool towel creations!

Surprise Vacation- Day 1

 So, we started off our day bright and early....

 We made our reservations quickly before we left on Monday night, and we were surprised how easy it was to get the restaurants that we wanted.  We each got to pick 2 of our favorites.

 So, Lily's first pick was Plaza Restaurant in Magic Kingdom.  They have the best milkshakes and burgers in the whole park- in our opinion!  Plus, they are large enough that Lily and I always just share a burger.


 This vacation turned out to be our selfi vacation- we took a zillion pictures of ourselves!




 My favorite treat- a Chesire Cat Cake Pop!  Yumm!




We ended up our evening at Epcot.  We ate an San Angel Inn which is my favorite spot to eat.  I love the atmosphere and the food is delicious!

We need to talk about a mouse...

Baba came home from work on Monday and said, "We need to have a family meeting."  After we sat down together, he said, "We need to talk about a mouse..."
    Lily said, "Is there another mouse at school or at church?" (We have had some mice issues this winter at work!)
    Jamie said, " This one has a name that starts with M--(realization dawns on her quickly)-- and I wondered if you wanted to go see him."
    Lily sighed, " I would love to go see him!"  She said this very dramatically.
   So, he replied, " Then, let's pack and we will be on our way!"

There was a lot of happiness at that moment!  Baba surprised both of us with a trip to Disney that neither one of us suspected!
