Flashback Friday

December18

On Sunday we make our annual trek to Disney World. We normally go in November when the crowds aren’t as big, so going at Christmas will be a whole new adventure.

Today we are looking back at the trip that started it all: my parents honeymoon. Back in July 1981 after they committed their lives to each other, they hopped on a plane, entered the magical world, and never looked back.

They spent three whole days exploring the world of the Magic Kindgom, as it was the only park open. Epcot was in the process of being built.

Here they are at the Pirates of the Carribean:

My dad, twenty-one at the time,  at the Polynesion Village, where they stayed:

My mom at nineteen:

Sharing a meal at Cinderella’s castle:

My dad:

My mom and pluto:

Pluto, Karen, July 1981-1

    What a great memory for your parents. Wait till your children are older, the fun is even more exciting! ;) We just went to Disney Land last year and the boys were 9.8, and 7- they had a blast!

    Have a grand time!
