Disney!

Back from Disney, and the good news is Dominic didn't hit a single princess, although he and Vincent both looked like they were going to gag while Catherine greeted Belle and Aurora. What we learned about Vincent -- who claims his favorite part of the trip was eating Dippin' Dots ice cream (we could have saved a lot of money and done that at the local mall) -- is that the kid is game for anything. If it's fast, if it's loud, if it's scary -- he's in. Meanwhile, in Catherine's case, if it's fast, if it's loud, if it's scary -- count her out.

What we learned about Dominic is that after 20 minutes on your shoulders, he gets a wee bit heavy. But it's better than having him chase the birds. Or the princesses.

We did Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Seaworld, and by dumb luck we were able to catch things like the Celebration Parade and the killer whales performance. We also stopped off in Savannah, maybe hoping to catch a little culture to offset the inane commercialism of Disney (a bottled water was $4!!!), but that was a big bust. Ask Roger about the guy dropping barbells in the gym at 2 a.m.

I'll let the pictures and videos speak for themselves...
