Throwback Thursday!

This week in Throwback Thursday we go back just a year to 2012 when we took our big dual Disney trip to Walt Disney World and our Cruise aboard the Disney Dream.  I was thinking to myself this morning that we would be coming home from our cruise tomorrow if this was last year.  Well, it's not last year...and here we are, just a short year later.  Man, how time flies, huh???

We stayed at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside resort.  Not one of my favorite of all I have been able to stay at, but nice none the less.  I really think I prefer the smaller French Quarter.  It suites my needs much  better.

Please enjoy the pictures from that trip found below!!
