More Magic Kingdom and meeting lots of Disney characters
We spent two and a half more days in the Magic Kingdom, one more than we’d originally planned as the girls loved it so much and there was a lot to do. My Lovely Husband did some sterling work on the fast passes, so we did very little waiting around on either day as the … Continue reading »
Super Bowl Sunday

Norah Jones at the Bayou Music Center
To celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary we went to see Norah Jones in concert at the Bayou Music Center on Saturday night. We listened to Norah Jones a lot when we first met, so it seemed a fitting thing to do. Norah Jones arrived on stage with very little fanfare, followed by her band, and … Continue reading »
