Paris? non. Royaume magique? oui!

We were interested in visiting Paris, France this fall. However, that was going to be expensive. So we decided on an alternate destination of Orlandeaux.

Orlando, I should say. The one in Florida. We will be amusing ourselves in  Walt Disney World this October. And staying at the Port Orleans Resort French Quarter. So we still get that French experience, but with a Creole twist. And sanitized to remove that stale-alcohol-and-pinesol smell.

We will have passes that let us visit all four of the theme parks
- Magic Kingdom
- Epcot Center
- Disney's Hollywood Studios
- Disney's Animal Kingdom

It's going to be fun, we are looking forward to it.

Just got back from a visit to the ABCs in the southeast: Atlanta, Birmingham, Columbus. We took a short tour through the Pratt City area of Bham to see the tornado damage. Pictures and aerial footage don't show the magnitude like an on the ground view can.

Here's a brief look

Yes, that's a mattress in the tree.
