Last Day at Disney

Since our flight home wasn't until the late afternoon, we had time to pack our things and venture to Magic Kingdom one last time. It figures that on the last day of our trip we had the nicest weather and Charlotte was really starting to get into it. When we walked into the park all she could say was "castle, castle" and just oohed and ahhed over it the whole time. She also wanted to go on the tea cups again and just kept pointing and saying "tea cups, tea cups." I was wary of letting her go on any fast spinning rides because of the events of the previous day, so we skipped it and instead went on the Winnie the Pooh ride. She seemed OK with this one at the start, but it was too dark and too loud (here's that theme again) so she was a bit scared towards the end.

We spent most of our last day at the park just wandering around and enjoying the weather. We also made a few last minute purchases in the shops along Main Street USA. The bus to the airport was picking us up around Noon, so we hopped on the monorail bound for the hotel. It was sad to leave, but i'm sure we'll be back!



Another bus ride and we were back at the airport for a few hours of waiting. We decided it would be best to get to the airport a little early since there would probably be a lot of people trying to get back north between storms. There was ample time to grab lunch, wander around and peer out the windows at all of the airplanes. Even more time when we discovered our flight had been further delayed by about an hour. We tried to get Charlotte to sleep by riding her around in the stroller, but that didn't work. So, we just wandering the airport, colored in our coloring books, playing with the iPhone and computer and just tried to stay happy.

We finally boarded the plane and got on our way. The flight was blessedly calm and short, and Charlotte was able to get comfortable enough for a bit of a nap. When we arrived at Dulles is was unbelievable to see all of the snow. Luckily we had parked in the covered garage and were able to easily exit and drive home without much trouble. Main roads were clear, only issue was the road leading to our neighborhood. And of course our driveway had not been shoveled so we had to climb through 2+ feet of snow to get in the house.
