The End of a Wonderful Trip

We were up early to check in with our airline at the resort.  They were even able to hold on to our carry on bags as well.  We walked to EPCOT to enjoy our last morning there.  We rode two of our favorites - Soarin and Figment.  We decided to eat lunch in the park on our tour of the countries.  Mexico had some delicious nachos and guacamole.  Meg wanted one last pretzel and Cam and I wanted a funnel cake.  I had been looking for a sweatshirt and found the perfect one in the German shop.  Cam bought a King Louie pin for Grandpa Cutes and we were on our way.

As we left EPCOT it started to rain.  Meg looked at me and said, "I think God is crying because we have to leave Disney World."  I think she may have been right.

We caught the Magical Express to the airport at 1:45.  Cam and Meg enjoyed the Mickey Mouse cartoons on the way out.  They watched a lot of them on our trip.  They are new ones based on the old ones from years ago.  It took awhile to get checked in at the airport, but easy to find our terminal.  I am impressed that Brett was able to navigate it all last Spring without ever having been there before.  Orlando airport is a lot bigger than Indy.

Our plane left about ten minutes late, but we didn't mind.  We noticed the plane to Providence was delayed several hours again.  Glad that we weren't on that one.  The plane trip went very well.  Doug slept for part of it.  I wasn't very nervous, at least not like the flight down.  This plane had live television to watch.  I was able to view several episodes of Man vs. Food and the nightly news.  It definitely made the time on the plane go by quickly.

We easily found our luggage and had a short wait on the shuttle back to our van.  Doug was afraid that it wouldn't start.  It did, however, and he was able to drive over the small mound of snow behind the van.  Indy got seven inches of snow while we were gone.  The drive home was a little slower than on the way down.  There were several roads with snow drifted over them.  We stopped at Arby's for dinner and were back by 11:30.  Cal was awake when we got here, but all of us climbed in bed almost immediately tired, but happy to have had the time away.
