Road Trip to FL or Bust
Well we made our 3rd trip to the Walt Disney World Resort this year this Fall. This is what I have learned. You can overdo Disney and I think we have. It is time to take a break – oh nothing major – maybe just waiting until next summer or fall. I don’t think we could go a whole year without a Disney fix, but doing Disney every 3 months seems to take away a bit of the magic.
However if you are going to Disney every 3 months taking advantage of the different resort options is key. This time we stayed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. This resort is an adventure in itself. Being able to look out the window first thing in the morning and see the animals roaming the savanna is just an amazing experience for kids and adults alike. And the resort also has great opportunities for the kids to earn beads by participating in various activities including playing authentic African instruments and doing different crafts. Of course these are the activities we never had enough time to participate in but always wish we had more time to do.
One surprising aspect of the trip was the level of crowds. Columbus Day weekend seems to be a new busy time as many schools have fall breaks or long weekends and the crowd level definitely showed it. Still an enjoyable trip, but something to be considered when making next years fall plans.

To Utah, FL and Back Again
Wow its been a whirlwind summer! First we went to SLC, Utah to visit my parents and then over to WDW to visit the parks while on a business trip. It was a little overwhelming to say the least! But here’s how it ended up…
Utah Trip: Always fun to visit grandma and grandpa, the kids enjoyed playing all day while we enjoyed a little time off. What I love about visiting UT is not only the grandparents, but also we get to eat at our favorite restaurants. Our favorite pizza place Sweet Home Chicago is a highlight of the trip. We also love Chin Wah, Chinese, but unfortunately we picked the only week of the year that they are closed 
And of course a Costa Vida Taco Salad ranks high on the list.
