3 Boys & a Girl: "There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of everyday... Just a dream away!"

"There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of everyday... Just a dream away!"

We went "home" to Titusville, FL last week to see family. Titusville became a bustling town in the 1960s with the advent of NASA. It brought both sides of my family there for the great Space Race. We are very proud of the accomplishments of my grandfathers and their tremendous contributions to space exploration. On our trip we had great adventures, a wonderful time celebrating my late Uncle Lee's life and visiting our friends and family that we don't see often enough.

SeaWorld

This is what Braeden thought of Shamu.

Seriously, what is it going to take to get Poppa a picture with the boys and shrimp?

I offered Braeden money to smile. Apparently that's what it takes.

There was a great turn out for Lee's ashes burial, unfortunately I didn't get pictures of it. I was too busy chasing a two year old.

Disney World

The real Disney experience: waiting in line.

Tea Cups!
Ian wouldn't leave my arms for a few hours after this ride. Poor kid. Braeden kept saying, "faster faster"!

Dumbo. The favorite of the day.

Little did he realize that the scariest ride of all was coming up next: the Carousel of Progress. Yup, not Pirates of the Caribbean. During the 1920s skit, a fuse is blow by the kitchen appliances and it gets pitch black for a few seconds. Ian is extremely afraid of the dark and piercing screams emitted from his little body. He started to panic during the rest of it any time the kitchen appliances were featured. Next scariest, the People Mover. A train that takes you around Tomorrow Land -- it takes you into the dark far too many times. Poor kid, got a shiner too, on the bridge of his nose falling into a rocket.
