As for the rest of the trip...

...Disney World was awesome. Not only did I get to meet Claire, Cranky, Maddy and Marathon Chris, but I also got to meet Jen. Here are a few more highlights:
  • Going to see Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba on Friday night. If you are down in Orlando, I'd highly recommend it!
  • Relaxing on the beach at the Polynesian on Saturday. I got to be the official race photographer for Angry and Claire's swim off at the hotel pool. Check it out:
  • My mom finished the marathon as well - her first one ever! Congratulations Mom!
  • Hanging out at Hollywood Studios with Claire and Angry on Monday where we rode the Aerosmith Rock n Roller Coaster a few times, along with the Tower of Terror.
  • Getting in my first post-marathon run on Monday night - in 3 inch heels no less! I was running late for dinner at the California Grill thanks to the Disney Transportation system and I was trying to sprint to make a bus. The run hurt less than I would have figured, considering how sore my legs were. Despite getting to dinner late, it was amazing, and was followed by watching the fireworks at Magic Kingdom.
  • Raglan Road on Tuesday night.
  • Seeing Mr. Potato Head at the Toy Story Midway Mania ride in Hollywood Studios. This is officially my new favorite ride!

I love the Toy Story ride! We got to enjoy it after the ToT this year, and it was a blast!

California Grill is one of our favorite restaurants there. We went there for Lana's birthday this past year. I love watching the fireworks from the rooftop.

Congrats to your mom! I wish we could've seen you while we were there... maybe next time.

That's great that you Mom did it too! I LOVED the Tower of Terror..although I think we almost lost my Dad from the shock. :) We spent some time in Downtown Disney but with little kids in tow, no Cirque. Next time. Glad you had a great trip!

Congratulations, Mom!!! And congratulations again, Leana!!! Angry almost looks sober in that picture at the bar... well except for the Mickey ears that is...

It was really great to meet you, and I'm glad that you had a good time. I certainly did! We'll have to do it again sometime.
