In just a few hours, the littles and I (along with my mom) are heading out for the Happiest Place on Earth. I’ll post updates as I can, but I have a feeling I’ll be pretty wiped out at the end of each day. I’ll do a big one when we get back Saturday night. [...]
A little hump day quickie
Posted in Disneyland, gluten-free, vacation on May 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »
No, not that kind of quickie. Just a brief posting from the heart of Disneyland… well, ok about three blocks away. At the Travelodge. Sean’s in the shower and I’m on-hold with the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney, waiting to talk to the chef. I’d love to take Sean there for lunch, a great ending [...]
Just call him Wheezy

Poor Sean. An innocent afternoon of swimming in the grandparents’ pool turned into a trip to Urgent Care and a full round of steroids. Somehow, an hour in the pool triggered an asthma attack, the likes of which he hasn’t had in nearly 18 months. His doctor thinks that the pool chemicals have something to [...]

We’ll be “on the road again… I just can’t wait to get on the road again…” My parents used to sing that at the start of every freakin’ vacation I can remember taking as a child. And now… I do too! My mom, my sister and I are taking my little Skye McKenna to Disneyland [...]
Around the world and back in five days

“I just flew in from Hong Kong, and boy are my arms tired!” Ba-dum-dum! I spent almost as much time on the plane as I did there, 14 hours going and 12 coming back. I was only in Hong Kong for 3 days, well, 3 and a half. But that half day is spent packing, [...]
Complete in it’s total awesomeness
Posted in Disneyland, gluten-free, vacation on June 7, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Our trip to Disneyland proved to be MAGICAL in more than one way. The biggest and best involved, of course, food. I had been told by friends that Disney totally accomodates those with food allergies and sensitivities. But most of these items are off-menu and you just have to know who to ask, usually the [...]
Totally MIA

It’s been a week since my last update. Wow, how time flies when you’re on vacation and then DYING!! Ok, not really dying. But it was a blecky cold and I felt like crap, so that totally counts. The SoCal vaca was totally awesome! Tuesday night, we got to see my uber-adorable neice Laney dance [...]
Happiest vacation on Earth

I’m going to be MIA for a few days. My mom and I are taking Beastly and Bobo to Disney for a couple of days. We’ll also be droppin’ in on my bro and his fam, down in Temecula. I am in desperate need of a vaca, so this is almost more for me than [...]
