A couple weeks ago we went on vacation. Our usual one week in Walt Disney World, this time at Coronado Springs instead of Animal Kingdom Lodge because of the construction going on at AKL on the new Disney Vacation Club building. I was going to update the blog daily with the days happenings, the dining experiences, and the park conditions. That didn't happen, mainly because when I got back to the hotel at the end of the day I found myself, not tired exactly, but fulfilled to the point that I didn't even feel the need to pull out the laptop. So no daily updates, no daily pictures, just some photos of about half the days on the memory card, still needing to be uploaded to picasa.
Which is what I was going to do when I got home, but that monday was a little busy with unpacking, and I never got around to it. The following morning, I got a call on the way in to work that my grandfather was back in the hospital and was looking really bad. Anna said she'd come pick me up at work as soon as I got there (because I was in the carpool). Ten minutes later, I got another call saying that he'd passed away. The last week has been one of the saddest times of my life.
This week we're starting to get things back on track a little. We got a tree yesterday but weren't able to get it inside and into the stand until today. Christmas shopping is halfway done, those who remain are problem children who need to learn to embrace online wish lists. Not to mention all the late falling leaves which I haven't been able to get to yet. But things are coming back together. Maybe soon I'll get the pictures up, and I can write up a small over view of the vacation.
