Part III: Mid-February-May 2013 Chapter 44 What’s Different About Today? (Originally posted July 10, 2013) February 22, 2013 There was nothing obviously special about the week leading up to February 22nd.

We are Taylor and Tracy — husband and wife from Boulder, CO — and we love all things Disney, as well as general travel. This website was originally created to showcase our Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line trip reports, but we've also got an entire series of blog posts about what it was like to live for a year and a half in Orange County, CA. Hopefully you'll enjoy reading about our various adventures. All of our Disney trip reports have lots of pictures and details that you can use to plan your next vacation!

Chapter 43 The Calm (Originally posted July 8, 2013) Back home, nothing was all that exciting. Each week, I would work every morning and early afternoon, and then we would always try to do something a little more exciting in the late afternoon/evening. If it wasn’t Disney, though, it was often just going to the …

Chapter 42 Desperation Days (Originally posted July 8, 2013) With Valentine’s Day approaching, we had to decide on something fun to do. We started off the morning the romantic way most couples do—with a trip to the dentist. Both Tracy and I were due for cleanings and I was having some sensitivity in one of …

Chapter 41 Large and Powerful Dragons: A PSA (Originally posted July 5, 2013) There continued to be more stairs to climb and lookout points to discover at the Getty Center. It was just crazy to me that if you looked out in one direction, you could see mountains, but looking in the other direction, there …

Chapter 40 Branching Out (Originally posted June 28, 2013) February began with an interesting opportunity that came out of nowhere. We were doing some shopping/browsing at the mall near our condo, and I noticed a Barnes and Noble across the street. In this day and age when bookstores are few and far between, I hadn’t …

Chapter 39 Odds and Ends (Originally posted June 25, 2013) Soon after Tracy’s birthday, it was time for another trip to the beach. Somewhat stupidly, we decided that we wanted to go to Newport Beach on one of the first truly hot Sundays in our area. Of course, everyone else in the county had the …

Chapter 38 Kitties (Originally posted June 18th, 2013) We aren’t supposed to be allowed to have pets according to our lease, but the rule only applies to us specifically because we are renting from a single individual who owns our condo (Moustache). Many of the other occupants in our complex own their condos, and there …

Chapter 37 Celebrating a Quarter-Century A couple weeks into January, I was the first one of the two of us to find a job. It wasn’t a huge accomplishment, per say, because all I really did was convince the company I had worked for in NYC to let me do some work for them remotely. …

Chapter 36 Christmas is Over? (Originally posted June 12, 2013) The Christmas season was officially over, but you never would have guessed that to be the case if you stopped by our house in the first week of 2013. We always keep our decorations up until around Tracy’s birthday in the middle of the month, …

Chapter 35 …and a Happy New Year (Originally posted June 6, 2013) Between Christmas and New Year’s, we actually accomplished quite a bit. We got a plant for Tracy’s pot. And we bought a grill! My mom gave us money to get one for Christmas, so we spent our Boxing Day buying and assembling the …
