From California to Alabama (with Vegas in between)

This kid was all smiles at Disneyland a few weeks ago! We had a blast...more fun than last time we went a year and half ago!! Both trips were great, but we realized we have a grown little boy now. The first trip there at age 4, he was very much into Mickey Mouse and all the characters, getting their signature and doing all the little kid rides! This time, as we entered Disneyland the first day, here was the conversation: Me: Jackson look!! There's Pluto! Do you want to go see Pluto and get him to sign your book?? Jackson: (looks up at me) No.........(long pause) Mom, who plays Pluto?? Me: Well, Pluto plays Pluto. Jackson: No, Mom. Who's the person inside of the Pluto. Me: (in between laughing) I have no idea. Shall we go find some rides?? Jackson: YEAH!! Clearly, I realized right away, this trip would be very different. That kid walked for three straight days!! We opened and closed the park all three days!!!! When we asked him if he wanted to go back to the hotel and rest a bit or go on another ride, his response was consistent...go on another ride! Could be the reason we felt like we did both Disneyland and California Adventure in two days! The last day, we re-did rides! His favorite was Autopia...we rode it 5 times! He even rode the roller coasters with us! It was an awesome vacation to remember. That brings me to today!! We are countdown 3 weeks to the date our movers arrive. Things are starting to fall into place. We just got tenants and a signed lease, so we are working on all the details of that now. Praise God that worked out. He certainly provided!! So, round about the end of June, someone else will be in our Vegas home and we will be headed to "our" new home in Alabama! Life is good.
