“There is no moment of delight in any pilgrimage like the beginning of it.”

— Charles Dudley Warner

Well after a long day of travel we have finally arrived. My little man is so excited about every little moment we have had today; especially the motorized walkway at the airport.  We must have went up and down it 20 plus times.  I love how the simple things thrill him. I am going to have to get back to that place.  I think as we get older we don’t easily recognized or find the joy in the simple things.  Perhaps this will be one of my goals for 2010.

It was a VERY long day and we are all exhausted.  I cannot believe how well behaved my little guy was considering we were all running on about 3 hours sleep. Not easy for an adult; very hard for a toddler. Those of you whom have traveled with toddlers are saying to themselves, “AMEN”.

I think my favorite part about today is seeing the smiles on the faces of strangers as Roman passed them by in the airport or the plane. The site of him wearing his Mickey ears and the excitement in his eyes made them beam and in turn it made my day.   Roman brings all of us so much joy and in turn made my day.

Tomorrow the Magic Kingdom it is. I am so excited about the opportunity of capturing the wonder in Roman’s eyes as he is experiences a place that brought me so much joy as a child.  These are some of the best moments of being a parent.  I am giddy with the prospect.
