Spirit Free, Soaring Through Clouds of Time

The second installment: Epcot.

The day we all wait for in eager anticipation, we save "points", put on our comfy shoes, and get ready for a day of family, fun, food and culture.

We had yet another gorgeous day and, especially in looking back at the photos, I wish we could all be there together again. No time is ever long enough, and there are always so many distractions. Even so, we have wonderful memories and some good photos to share as well!

We had lunch at the Living Seas restaurant which was really special. Dominick and I tried to go on our honeymoon, but they were closed to create the "Nemo" exhibits. It was a great time and we even got to share in a phone call from MaryKatherine!

Dad presenting the ambiance to us....and pointing out the uncomfortable irony of watching our future lunch.

We all represented Rutgers on the day of the big game (that ended up in a big upset)

We took boat rides in Mexico AND Norway....the only world travel where the US dollar is still strong! (And happily accepted might I add)

The SpeedRacer Club...this view never got old. As Scrubs fans, the references to the "Scooter Club" were numerous, frequent and hilarious (to us at least....and after all, we ARE our best audience!)

Dom remembering Germany

The American Pavillion is always a good "regrouping" point as it is exactly in the center and it offers clean bathrooms and popcorn.

While my parents were in the exhibit inside, we discovered some scooter snacks...

Which then required some creative "redistribution"...they had no idea (until now!), but Dom was so proud of his blackmail photos that I feel obligated to share them.

Kudos on the stalker-esque quality and reference point of the photos Dom - they aren't creepy at all!

Then we shared some time waiting for Doogie Howser....no, seriously, Neil Patrick Harris was there and I can die happy now.


I call this "Disney Dom in Four Frames"

I take this photo everytime we go to Disney

(See - here's the one from our honeymoon when they still had the stupid wand on the globe)

Dom is Asia....well, the closest Asia that we can afford to travel to.

Jen, Tim and Dommy playing peek-a-boo....we have way too much fun together.


Mommy playing peek-a-boo with baby Ray....wow, I didn't realize this was an occurring theme until just now!

It was a different kind of family vacation, nothing like what any of us expected, but it couldn't have been any other way. We have cherished memories and the time spent was a blessing.
