YENSIDCAMPER

Monday of our vacation week took us to HS. We usually follow what touringplans.com suggests. I find them to be more accurate than Disney's projections for wait times. The scenes dashing to TSM... It was off to RnR and ToT...We love RnR rode it three times in a row here are some pix. Yes we were too cheap to by the actual pictures so this is the best we could do. Some more fun shots through the park... The Artist Studio was one of our favorite activities.. Vote for which one you think is best. This will break the family tie.. Naturally we all voted for our own, how narcisistic of

Sorry Lou, forgot you failed your monorail exam the other day how insensitive of me... I bet you won't like these pictures then either.

We had a blast! Our year at Disney will end soon, but I think our friendships developed here will bring us back a little sooner. Maybe a GG sometime. Would you believe these were made with an iPhone, an old Minolta 5mp point and shoot, or old Nikon 6mp point and shoot. I want a new camera but really these are easy and do a pretty good job. Wait till you see our fireworks pictures they will suprise you. Thanks, sadly, probably the closest we will ever get as a family to the Eiffel Tower. Of course the dumb water fountain shut off while he was taking the picture.

At least he reads them, unlike Lou...He must get them by osmosis. BTW I like the long winded ones. Better than reading Harry Potter....well almost, but as good as Ridley Pearson.

Love the pictures. TnBob, gave me marching orders for more pictures and less words. He will really like this.

Yes, my wife and I booked a room through one of the travel sites many years ago. The goods were not as advertised. When we drove across the Mississippi River the world looked barren and devoid of life all of a sudden. The place we ended up staying was awful and there were a lot of shady characters hanging around. We left the next morning and must have not seen the crime scene tape when we came in the night before but a whole floor was shut down. We did not go back even though we had paid for the second night. I'm with Dave, honk as you drive by. I will hear it too, Dave and I live in the

Nicki, Stayed in West Memphis once, I think your instincts are good. Nice bacon picture above Dave should be satisfied. Thanks for posting and i hope you got a good night's sleep. YC

Leslie, Finished reading and I am sorry for your losses. My wife and I love your big family gathering!

Finally reading and catching up on this great trip report. Love the big family trip! Thanks for sharing your trip and family with us. Dave, your single line of advice here could have saved me a lot of therapy fees....Now you tell me.

Hope your trip has started well today! I am so envious of your opportunity, should be a blast. Looking forward to reading and learning from your adventures.

No, and No. But you might be delusional :) Now, our other Fiend.....I am just saying bipolar might explain a lot. p.s. like your ticker where did you get it?

Too bad I don't read soft, mushy, bipolar posts, with people who lie about a moose in witness protection. I obviously have nothing better to do.

Sunday it was off to Epcot for the Flower and Garden Festival Just of few of the pictures we liked. I Love Sorcerer Mickey from Fantasia, it is where my name and Avatar originated from Yen Sid That is Disney backwards. Since Disneycamper was taken I used YensidCamper or now just YC. I love when the boys are being boys No matter how big they are the playground can always be fun And the YC gang goes to Paris And the way home...

We actually started taking pictuers of signs on the Florida Turnpike but this report is too long already. The signs always get our blood pumping! Thanks, just trying to share some of the ones we didn't have time to share during the trip. When I am trying to get to the Fort nothng stops me. Ask the boys, I threatend to make them pee in a bottle; once we hit the Turnpike there is no stopping. Truthfully we usually have about 2 gallons of gas left at this point. The guage hasn't been the same since the squirrels chewed on our fuel and electrical lines. See the earlier posts. Those squirrell

Nicki, I am a little confused, if you are going through Nashville to or from Alabama you will be going North and South on I-65, if you are going through Nashville on 1-40 you will be going East and West i.e. Knoxville to Memphis. I grew up across the river from the campgrounds mentioned above and live just south of Nashville now. The Music Valley Drive spots will put you right in the middle of the tourist areas for the Grand Ole Opry, Gaylord Opryland Hotel, and OpryMills Mega Mall. They are just north and I mean just north of Nashville and about 5 miles off of I-65. Edit-- Atlanta on the H

Can't wait to read along! Live TRs are tough but please do it for us! We will love it.

TCD Thanks for the shout out! Sorry to be tardy to the party. I am catching up on TR's and finally reached this one. You da man! Look for my avatar to contain a part of that card soon. I have been working the photoshop magic on it. My boys loved this game as well.

Here and in future posts will be just a few of the shots that were our favorites from each day of our trip and few of the YC crew! For TnBob's enjoyment it will be mostly pictures little commentary. Traveling Day I love the Easter Mickey reflection in this shot, it was unintentional but neat all the same. Just in time! I was not stopping till we hit the Fort. Glad there wasn't a line at Check in! Home Sweet Home and look the sun came out just as we had finished the setup! I love the Fort. This was a nice ending to a long day of traveling thanks to traffic and the rain.

Thanks Kim a pictorial of our week is forthcoming sort of the highlights and some good pictures as well as a few of me and my family coming shortly One of my favorites, but i never use it for drinking. It sits by computer and holds pencils and stuff. Glad to see you are signed up for Defeated Creek. YC Thanks Monique!

Hey gang, remember cart 609 that was abandoned on the nature trail close to the Wilderness Lodge.... Well, I figured out where it had been...I didn't realize it but I had a picture of it from the previous day! Check this out! Made you look... :) YC

Dave, just checked it out and replied there too. We are in! Thanks for organizing.

Great post. Thanks for sharing looking forward to reading along.

This is the last morning mug I have to share. It is more than time I close this one out. My wife and I are looking at a few select photos we may want to share as a recap, but this is pretty much it. I have really enjoyed your responses and getting to meet so many FrIENDS! This mug is for all of you!

Thanks Cherie, but I think this last one may be your new favorite. Thanks for reading along. KFK, Thanks for reading along and laughing at my silly joke. I am looking forward to closing this one out and reading everyone else's. YC

Thanks, Dave. I just got off chat with Bob and we are booking tonight. Carol it would be awesome to get to meet you too!
