Actually, yesterday that is! Happy (belated) St. Patrick's Day! We went to my favorite place yesterday for my birthday. The Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World is only about a 2 hour drive for us, and on your birthday, you can get in for free! And you wouldn't believe how many people were celebrating birthdays yesterday. We left super early, to beat the crowds and the heat. As it turned out, it was a beautiful day. We went on all of our favorite attractions: Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan's flight.....just to name a few. Then it was off to our favorite pizza place, "Uno" Chicago style pizza; deep dish, love it, and we don't have one near our home so every time we're in Orlando, that's where we want to eat. Sorry, no photos here, I was hungry, tired, hot, and just about ready to come home. It was a fun day; I love to escape the realities of every day life, and be a kid!
