The time went by really fast. I loved fantasmic too and we got to watch the fire works afterward also which I liked a lot more than the night before because I was sitting down. We sure did pack a lot into 3 days.

I had blisters on my feet. A big blister on my heal (on my good foot). It was such a great ending to a vacation. I learned the art of staking my territory at a theme park and telling everyone who wants to encrouch on my turf to take a hike. :) Seriously though, after all that walking, the concrete never felt so good.

Looks and sounds AWESOME!! I wish we could have been there! The kids would have loved it, also Matt's ankle probablly wouldn't hurt as bad cause Justin would be doing all the running! I'm glad you guys got to go!! FUN TIMES!!
