Nice pic..of the kitten...is that a bulldog for avatar?..
Like animals, too? How about the Columbus Zoo?

WDW question... did you guys go to WDW before you had kids?
My wife and I always wonder how the experience would differ if we had children...

Well... the pic in my avatar is of my vicious man eating Pug, Colby. He takes down Red Wing fans and Michigan fans in a heart beat... all 25 pounds of him.

The Columbus Zoo is awesome! Well... when its not crowded... lol. You enjoy it?

As for going to Disney without kids... Jess and I together have only been to Disney with our kids. Whether it was our oldest son when he was one, or now with both kids. I have been when I was a kid a bunch of times all the way up to my teens, but as a couple with my wife... nope... I wonder how it would be like without the kids, but for now, we go to Disney with the kids, for the kids, and we just love being there with our kids. For the time being we cant think of any other way. Jess and I keep talking everyday how much our youngest is just going to enjoy Disney this year. So for now... while they are still cute... we cant think of going to Disney without them.

Nice video...

Love the Zoo...especially in the winter..less animals out, but you can still see them...and the Christmas lights are always good...less people too.
My sister-in-law is the director of the North American section of the zoo..her name is Kelly Vineyard...if you take the kids out there..ask them at the ticket window to page her, and if she is there and not busy, she will give you and the kids a close up look at a moose or something...she loves doing that stuff..
Just tell her you are friends with me. My name is David Vineyard, and my brothers name is Doug.
They both live for CBJ, too!

WDW without kids is fine...I would like to have a stroller to negotiate the crowd, though sometimes...
We still enjoy the parks, but the other stuff more so than if we had kids, probably....we still go into Fantasyland but sometimes I feel a bit awkward in line at Peter Pan..

I love the zoo in the winter time too, but this past time it was just nuts, and left within an hour or so. Just couldnt see anything, at least animal wise. Just WAY to packed there. And yeah... if I remember, ill have to hit your sister up about that. That would be a lot of fun. I know my oldest said he wanted to go to the Zoo during summer break, so that will be on our list.

As for the stroller. Yes... its great for in the parks, but man... some people dont care either. I dont know how many times my daughter and I were about steam rolled by people because either they were in a hurry, or just not paying attention. Just crazy sometimes.
