The Happpiest Anniversary on Earth-Part # 3

(This is part 3 of the documentation of the most amazing trip I have ever taken- I am picking up where my previous post ended. Once again feel free to skip the text and scroll through the pictures:-) Click here to hear about our trip from the beginning.

One of the best parts of this vacation was that it was all planned. Andrew had scheduled our days and had made dining reservations. Which was fabulous all I had to do was get up and enjoy! Did I mention how much I love him? So day two of our Florida adventure began Friday morning with breakfast at the animal Kingdom Lodge. Such a beautiful place. As we ate out side lots of exotic birds flew around us. on landed on the umbrella right over Andrew's head. He poked it and it flew away but it made for a pretty cool picture. I was in love with the animal kingdom straws. Because of the animals, they only use paper straws and I had never used one before. I liked it LOTS. Kristi + paper straws = Happiness. So after a breakfast we took a couple of couple pictures in the Animal Kingdom Lodge it is so so beautiful!

But we finally headed over to Animal Kingdom.

This was going to be a fun day.

Two of my good friends I worked with at Playmill are now cast in the Finding Nemo The Musical. And did I mention they are amazing! Andrea plays Dory and Adam her husband is Mr. Ray/Marlin.I have been so excited to see them in this.

Almost 2 years ago I got them into the park and we all went to see this show together and now they are up there being amazing. Seriously these people might be two of the most talented individuals I have ever met. I love them!!!! We got to play with my dear friend Andrea in the morning and have priority seating for their show in the afternoon. AMAZING. After we went back and got some picture with the cast of Nemo. What do you think of Andrew and I in Dory and Ray's hats? I like it I think I need to get one of my own. On a side note, I also learned that the designer of the nemo costumes was inspired by speed skaters in the winter Olympics. - Interesting hu?

After we stopped at Its tough to be a Bug. I think we had a little to much fun with the Camera in there:-)

But the after NEMO the most important item was Expedition Everest. I had been pregnant when it opened and this was my first time to ride it. Needless to say I loved it. I know I have used that expression a lot but it was just how I felt this week. Full of Love!

Ahh, see even Everest was feeling the love.

After everest we went on the rest of the must do rides Dinosaur, that really jerky on in dino land, etc. We went on Cali-river Rapids. On which we got absolutely soaked. Some people made it through completely dry. But for Andrew and I, we could not have gotten more wet if we submerged ourselves. I seriously have never gotten that wet on any ride ever! It was fun and we had to go change for dinner, so we called it a day at the Animal Kingdom. Man o Man was it fun.

So we went home and changed for dinner and headed back to the Studios for dinner at the 50"s Prime Time Cafe.

I have always wanted to eat there but for some reason it had just never happened. So of course Andrew made it happen on this trip.When we arrived at Studios we got a picture with the boy off the bus who serenaded us and watched the Highschool Musical 3 show.

And then proceeded to the 50's Prime Time Cafe. For those of you who have never heard of it. You sit in a little 1950's kitchenette and are instructed in proper dining etiquette.

But by far the most important thing at the cafe is the

****** PEANUT BUTTER and JELLY SHAKE*****

Yes that is correct a shake.

It is a favorite of pretty much everyone I know. If you know me I don't care for mixing flavors but even I could not resist its powers of temptation. So we got meatloaf and salmon and I drew pictures on my napkins. It was so much fun. And I had to get pictures in the kitchenette after.

SO SO SO FUN.

We played a little more in studios. Went on the important rides, like the Great Movie Ride (as pictured :-)

Then we headed back to Downtown Disney to buy a Christmas ornament and eat at the Earl of Sandwich. Oh the All-American.... It is our favorite. But Andrew wanted it with cranberries and I wanted it without. But I got them anyways. I was pouting so Andrew took a picture. And even with the little bit of cranberry goop I couldn't scrape off, the sandwich was still amazing.

So we headed back home and went swimming.

It was like 1 AM but the pool was busy. The guards said people could swim as long as it did not disturb anyone.

So Andrew and I soaked our feet, swam and watched the very large security guard chase drunk 30 year olds up and down the decorative pyramid. It was so so funny. Good times. And thus ended Day 2 of the best vacation of my life!
