<--Whatever it says over there as my join date.
Sometime late 2004 or early 2005 we were in my mom's kitchen and DH uttered the fateful words- "I think we should take the kids to Disney World." We had never taken them on a vacation, and our own previous trips other than our honeymoon were work related. It had never crossed my mind to go to WDW- if I wanted rides there were plenty at Adventureland in Des Moines.
I joined here, read up on things, went in April 2005 (offsite with shuttle, 3 park days), came back and said, "I think we can do it again, better." And so the obsession grew.
