Happy SUNday! – Fifty Years Together!

At the Whispering Canyon Cafe at the Disney Wilderness Lodge.

I first met Carol on my birthday in 1972. We started dating in the Summer of 1973 and married in March 1974. Hopefully there’s many more years together.

My beloved – Carol

The spot (almost the exact spot) where Carol and I fell in love on a beautiful summer afternoon in 1973. Walt Disney World has always been a magical place for us and yes, we LOVE “It’s a Small World”! We honeymooned at WDW, we brought our kids every chance we could, and we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at the Magic Kingdom.

Thanks for stopping by!
