Apple Pie

Back when I worked for Norwegian Cruise Line, 

each of the counselors had a "silly name" that the kids 

could call us. My name was Blueberry, and my 

friend Amanda was Apple Pie (AP), which everyone 

thought was a little ironic, as she is Canadian.

Anyway, Apple Pie and I have stayed

in touch over the years and she came to visit 

us in June and meet little Corbett. She was a big 

help with him, and didn't mind at all that 

we couldn't really do all of the usual 

touristy stuff with a newborn.

Instead, we had fun cooking, shopping, 

going to Starbucks (AP's addiction), playing lots of 

Skip-bo, and holding sweet Corbett.

We introduced Apple Pie to American fast food 

hot spots such as Chick-fil-A and Five Guys.

And on one of the only days that it didn't rain while 

she was here (darn that Tropical Depression Debby), 

we made it to Downtown Disney, where we saw some 

awesome Lego creations and went a little hat-crazy.

We concluded Apple Pie's trip by going

mini-golfing at a place with live alligators.

It should be noted that I got a hole in one, and that 

Corbett slept through the whole game (what a kid!).

After golfing, we got to hold a gator.

Thanks to Apple Pie for a great visit!
