Christmas...I'm a little late posting these pics.

I had to work Christmas this year so we didn't plan a lot. Plus we had just returned from a 2 week vacation to Orlando.
The hospital had their usual Christmas party, which was held and Stockmans and was fun, They had prizes, lots of food and Karaoke. I won a kitchen basket which was a pretty nice prize.

Our tree was pretty much the same except our angel got something spilled on it and was ruined. We couldn't remember to go get a new one, so Kim came up with the Cheshire Cat for a tree topper. We cut back a lot on gifts but still seemed like we had quite a few.
After dinner of Pizza from Pizza Hut I went to work and delivered a Christmas baby!!

............................Hat Dance

We can't go to Disney World without doing the Hat Dance. They have so many funny and cute hats in the store, and we can't resist trying them on. We call it the Hat Dance, a Nascar phrase. Here's a scrapbooked page of this years hat dance!!!!

..............................Washington DC

Pictures taken while we were in Washington D.C. We took a trolley on a tour. It was really foggy that day so the monuments and buildings look like they r farther away than they really are. The colors were turning on the trees and made the pictures so much more beautiful.

.................................Heading home

The train trip is part of the adventure!! We are in Chicago waiting for our last train, we will travel from Chicago to Elko in about 40 hours. But the train is relaxing, I've read lots the past 2 days and slept soundly last night with the rocking of the train. I even have my electric blanket. :)
Oh, and the food on the train is great!! I had crabcakes, baked potato, salad and apple crisp for dessert last night. yum The crabcakes were delicious.
We traveled from Orlando to Washington DC where we took a tour of the capitol. The colors are changing and it was so pretty there around the potamic (sp) river. Then from DC to Chicago by way of virginia, Delaware, PA, Indiana.
Will post more pics after we get back. My goal was to have all my pictures scrapbooked on the computer before I got home, but I don't think that's going to happen.

......................Space Shuttle Launch

Yesterday was mostly a relaxing day, do laundry and watch football and Nascar. We did go to Downtown Disney in the morning and do a little shopping.
Today we slept in then this afternoon headed to Downtown Disney to exchange something. After we exchanged the item, we decided to ride the boat to the other side of DTD. The boat driver asked if we minded stopping in the middle of the lake to watch the Space Shuttle Atlantis launch. We were thrilled.
This evening we went to Hollywood studios and saw the Osborne lights. It seems strange that it's so warm here, and then to see all the Christmas lights and hear Christmas music.

.............................Day 4 Hollywood Studios

Today we met Danyell and Matthew at Hollywood Studios. Danyell is a friend from years ago from elko. We had a good time, Matthew entertained us on the Tower of Terror. After they left Kim and I went back and rode it 2 more times. No wait at the parks today.
This evening we had some dinner in the room and set out on the deck.


Sunset from our deck...

........................Day 3 Magic Kingdom

Today we were up early and at Magic Kingdom when they opened. We rode Splash Mountain first thing and got soaked. It kept us from getting too hot during the day. All the rides were no wait, just walk on. We had lunch at a chicken place, did a little shopping and headed to the room. It's much warmer today. This evening we went up to the Artists Palette for dinner then to bed.
