It was an amazing place, I can see why Walt wanted all that land.

What a good idea to go on a vacation to DL before your son joins the Navy. I've read your past trip reports and really enjoyed them, (infact the one with you and your sis and your kid was about the first report I read after finding this site) so I hope you do another one. I also have a son in the military and although it tugs at the heart-strings and raises the stress level, we are very proud of him.

I take notes every night while on my trip and then put them together once I'm home. But it takes me awhile to get to them, I usually come home and I'm so depressed it's over with that it takes me some time to be able to put it all together!

It took us 7 years to get back there but now that my daughter and her family have moved to CA, more frequent future trips look possible.
