Day 8 - September 28 - Going home
We woke up at 5am and finished packing up.
We had 7 eggs leftover, so we boiled them and planned on eating them for breakfast at the airport while we waited to board. There was a bin by the front door for non-perishable food items that are donated to a local food pantry. I told Jilian to carry the applesauce and the eggs. When we got to the bin, I told her to put the eggs down and put the applesauce in the bin. I never noticed that she put the eggs in the bin also. When we got to the airport, we realized that the eggs were in the bin. Gross! Oops!
We dropped off our rental car, checked in, and boarded the plane.
We flew into Milwaukee at 9:30am (we gained 1 hour back - yippee!). We stopped and picked up Stanley on our way home.
We are home and it's nice to be back!

Day 7
Day 7 September 27
Today we went back to do a few things that we didn't have time for.
First we went to Epcot, and focused on the science-type activities. We went to "Future World" and went through "Spaceship Earth." It gave us an idea how our future was formed...it was really neat. Jilian loved it!
Next we went through Innovations East and Innovations West. We took a 20 minute guided tour through a "green" house and saw some of the newest ways to live "green."
We also went through "The Great Piggy Bank Adventure". The girls each got to pick a goal (Laney picked college and Jilian picked an extreme bedroom makeover). They got piggy banks and learned how money can be saved and put into different investments. Then they saw how inflation takes some money. They had to play games to save their money and in the end that they both reached their goal!
We went back to the hotel so the girls could nap and Pete and I went out for dinner at The House of Blues in Downtown Disney.
We got back from dinner, woke up the girls, and headed to Magic Kingdom. It was raining, but we got lucky and it stopped after ten minutes! Pete, Jilian, and I went on Space Mountain (a roller coaster) while Mom and Laney went to a funny show.
Pete left and went back to the room so he could finish drinking the rest of the beer in our refrigerator. Mom, Jilian, Laney, and I stayed for the Electric Parade and the fireworks. Beautiful is an understatement! They were amazing!!!
The park closes as soon as the firework show is over, so everyone headed for the main gate to leave. By the time we got to the metro, went to the transportation parking lot, and got back to the resort, it was 10:45pm!
We finished packing, drank the rest of the alcohol, and went to bed.
