Downtown Disney, that is! We woke up bright and early on Saturday, and my sister Dot had us on the road before 7:00 a.m. Oy. Turns out it was a good thing, b/c it gave us a little time to settle in before we went off to Downtown Disney to meet the Manvilles.
For those not in the know, Sara is from the same orphanage as Taylor, we adopted our girls at the same time. They now live in Tampa, we we get together every now and then. 
The girls got along great, and had a fab time riding the train and carousel, and stalking princesses and pixie dust. The adults had a fab time at an Irish pub, despite the poor service and hot sun. 
There's something very special of seeing these girls together. They each started from such humble beginnings, and were lucky enough to be placed into the international adoption track at their orphanage. Both were given families at a very young age, and now live 1/2 way around the world from their original home, a mere few hours away from the other. 
T was very sad when they had to leave at the end of the day. We left and went back to our hotel, the All-Star Movie hotel, and hung out there for the rest of the night.
Next day?
Magic Kingdom!

So much fun!!! Sara cried when we had to separate from the Jordans. It took a long time to get her out of Downtown Disney - stops at Lego Land and the big fountain were required. It was very poignant having the girls together. They take such joy in each other and we enjoyed watching them.
Just might see you guys in November...
Hugs to all and thanks for a great day. I'll work on downloading my pictures.
