Road Trip #6... DISNEY!

Road trip #6 started off with a visit to Adam's mom, then a trip to Disney, Visiting friends, and then ended with a visit to Adam's dad. Our friends got us a Disney park-hopper pass for the day and it ROCKED!!! We started off at Animal Kingdom. We hadn't been there in 5 years or so, so it had changed lot. It was a lot of fun! Their South Asia area of the park is so authentic that I thought I was there!
Next we went to the Magic Kingdom :) Aashini started that park off with a nice nap :)
We weren't sure if Aashini was going to enjoy herself or not. We went into a 3D show and she was a little scared (it was loud and it involved water spraying on you and air blowing in your face)... but she loved it!!!
At one point we took her to a place where she could crawl around :)
We just HAD to get her a Mickey hat.... with her name on it ;) We like to get her things with her name on it since there aren't many things that will ever come with her name on it :)
We met some new South Asian friends :) They were waiting on their kids on Thunder Mountain and wanted to hold Aashini.
Aashini and her Ears :)
Family Photo
I think Aashini's favorite ride was "It's a Small World", although she thought the Peter Pan ride was pretty cool. She thought the Pirates of the Caribbean ride was a little scary (especially the little drop) but she still enjoyed it ;) She really had a good time! She would even wave at all the people passing by :) It was cute!
Oh yeah, and she loved the Carousel :)
It was an awesome trip!! It was definitely a much needed day of vacation :)

So fun you guys got to go to Disney. I've never been and look forward to taking our kids some day. I enjoy hearing what people do and like as I "plan" our trip one day!

We're heading over to your city tomorrow. Too bad we couldn't get together with you in South Asia! We'll think of you, I'm sure.

I'm so jealous! Glad you all had a fun day, I love Aashini's little hat. I still have my hat from Disneyland with my name on it. :) We went one stateside when I was in 8th grade. Seeing your pictures, I can't imagine what an overdose of fun and excitement that would be for the boys...wow!

looks like you guys have fun. I'll be honest and say I am not looking forward to the day when our kids are clamoring for a disney vacation.

I love that you get her stuff with her name on it since her name is rare!

and I also think it's hilarious that you came from south asia to florida, to hang out in the south asian section of a disney park, and make friends with more south asians! home is where your heart is, I guess!

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!

Jaya's Engagement!

My good friend Jaya (Mayank's sister that lives in M-town) - just got engaged!  On Sunday, I took the trip to M-town to go to her Engagement Ceremony (or Ring Ceremony).  It was a lot of fun :)!   First Stop - Beauty Parlor!  We walked a little ways down the street to a lady's house.  The beauty parlor was in one of the rooms in her house.  Jaya had already been to her house that morning to get her hair done, but now it was time for the makeup.  This beauty parlor was interesting because it only had 2 light bulbs in the whole room (and they were the energy saver kind that were dimmer than the regular ones), so it wasn't that bright inside the room.   Here's a pic of Jaya in the chair getting her makeup done.   Notice that her hair is crimped.  They use the crimper on people's hair when it's a special occasion - awesome!!! They put a  bindi  on her head and then the lady painted more and made it super fancy. Here's the finished product (after 1.5 hours)!  She...
