In need of constant sunshine

This past weekend the weather was crazy nice. We decided to have some friends and family over for a 1st of the season BBQ. It wasnt supposed to rain till later that night, and I am glad the weather held out.

Jack's mom for the wedding gave us a gift card to Lowes (super awesome!), and we bought our new grill with it. Well, since it was around end of summer when we bought it, it mostly sat in a box in the garage all winter.

Jack was in a building mood (maybe it was the weather motivating him!) and put the grill together before everyone came over for the BBQ, so we could use it that day.

It turned out great, and the grill is perfect. I unfortuantely do not know how to grill, so I will leave that up to Jack!

I want constant sunshine so we can cook out all time. Nothing is better than bbq, great weather, and great friends & family.

Jack's mad grillin' skills put to work!

Our new grill :-)

I can't grill, but I sure can make a great dessert!

Spring is here!

The weather finally has warmed up. No more snow for the DC area, thank-goodness! The 1st day of spring was this past weekend. Sorry cold weather. I won't even miss you. The last week or so the weather has been agreeable. This past weekend tempatures soared into the upper 60s!

Around our house, life started to show. In the last week, these flowers have bloomed! Our Daffodils!

This little plant started to show life!

I bought this beautiful flower bunch in the store this past weekend in the honor of good weather. Its been almost a week and they are still in bloom!

 lovely lillies!

Disney for a New York Minute

After the marathon I ran, we didn't have time to go to all the attractions that Disney has to offer. We were pressed for time and only in Orlando for the weekend.

So, I decided that the Magic Kingdom is a must-see.

Jack had never been to Disney, so I figured that would be the best place to go.

Jack's 1st time in Disney. Posing in front of Cinderella's castle.

On our way to Space Mountain in Tomorrowland!

In front of Cinderella's castle!

Waiting in line at the Haunted Mansion ride!

No trip is complete without a Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Bar!

Pirates of the Carribean Ride. "Where has all the rum gone?"

Everynight at  Disney, just after dark , they put on a great light-up parade called 'Spectromagic". It is a must-see! Every parade float and costume is made of hundreds and thousands of lights!

Mickey & Pluto!!

Cinderella!

Ending the night with an amazing fireworks display at Cinderella's castle! I have to credit Jack with the fireworks pictures, he did a great job!

It was a great weekend trip. An added bonus to the marathon run. We will definately have to come back for another trip for a longer period of time to see all that Disney has to offer!!!
