This month’s family photo was taken at a magical place. Dave and I are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary this week, and we took the kids to Disney World to celebrate. On our first day at the Magic Kingdom, we had early morning reservations at the Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique, and the guards at the gate let us in before the park officially opened so we wouldn’t be late for our appointment at the castle. It was a slightly eerie feeling to be the only family walking down the middle of Main Street, and I had to laugh when I stepped into the ladies’ restroom and had every single stall to myself. (If I hadn’t left my camera outside with my husband, I totally would’ve taken a picture of the empty bathroom.) By the time we got to the castle, there were a few other families walking around, but we still felt like celebrities who had snuck in before everyone else! It was a great start to the week, and it only got better after that.
In case you’re wondering, I did take my big 5D Mark II with me on the trip, but I attached my lightweight 50mm f/1.4 and left it on the whole time. The L-series lenses and the bulky external flash got left at home.
