Learning Curves

Yes, I know, I may beat this horse til it’s dead and deteriorated.  But, Disney is just that awesome.  And, being part of the event, seeing Ty Pennington, Kathy Ireland and and without a doubt, the big ol’ Mouse was just simply beyond all my expectations.  The volunteer effort was amazing, 170K cans of food to make a structure that was absolutely gorgeous.   General Motors and the Equinox, Onstar fun and learning with my kids and the fun just kept running.

These posts about the trip will most likely ramble, I’ve attempted to think through a structured way of telling you all about the trip but no matter how hard I try, my brain just goes into over-drive and I start rambling. 

So, beware, many posts coming up and many many rambling bits.  I apologize in advance!
