I had nine (count them NINE) wonderful days with Lt Dan. Oh yeah, it was awesome!
He surprised me by showing up way early on Friday and promptly said "let's go get the insurance and tags done so they are done." We did just that. Dropped by the insurance people who I had already arranged all the paperwork for him with. Shuffled around vehicles, getting one out of storage and each of us drove one of his vehicles to the county place got the titles and tags. Shuffled the storage one back to storage and then went out for an awesome breakfast at this little local bistro that I love. We were all done by noon and back home enjoying the afternoon.
We went to Disney for a couple of days and had a really nice time. I had no idea how my husband would be in a Disney-like circumstance so it was an adventure of sorts. Lt Dan was awesome. I just told him the general plan, meaning I think you will want to go here, here and here and in this order because of various events on those days. Then I handed him the maps and let him say "follow me!" (He's very practiced at saying that by the way, maybe not necessarily those words but yeah, telling somebody to do something...fortunately he did not say it at his normal work volume!) It was so much fun, just watching him forget himself and ride the rides and listening to his comments as we watched people and just generally getting to be together without any demands but to have fun. We did that having fun thing very well.
We were able to go see Beth's Mom and family and give hugs where hugs were needed since this was also the one year anniversary of her death. We didn't go to the Coke Zero 400 (I liked it better way long time ago when it was simply the Firecracker 400 but meh) at Daytona with them because that was my last day with Dan and I didn't want to spend it at the race, not to mention his having to drive back the next day. Still it was really good to see everybody and Dan got to meet them all for the first time. It appears he has passed muster ;)
Fourth of July we took Megan and her husband to the beach and spent the whole day there. It was a perfect beach day and we had a blast.
Then a relaxing day at home and suddenly...he was gone. Bleah. Still they were magical days and I'm very happy to have had them.

Disney! We are disney freaks here. Did you stay at Shades of Green? I love it there, its such a bargain and really nice too.
I'm glad you were able to spend time with Beth's family, I'm sure seeing you meant a lot to them around this time.
I knew about Shades of Green but we didn't stay there, it looks like a really good place. Since I live here I have an annual Florida resident pass so it gives me a fairly good rate depending on the season and I didn't want to use up a room that I didn't really need.
We stayed at Riverside in Port Orleans. Really nice, quiet and pretty surroundings. I love Disney, even though I make fun, I still love it there and never fail to have a great time.
