One of the advantages of the quarter system in college is that school doesn\u2019t start until late September, which means that when you have a child with a September birthday, it is possible to go somewhere\u2014say, hypothetically, Disneyworld\u2014with that child to celebrate before school starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, it was a special birthday as we celebrated in Disneyworld for the weekend. Marcus turned 21 this year (although I am in denial about that), and we celebrated his first legal drink (note the very carefully worded description). Jade flew out from Atlanta to join in the festivities, and it was really wonderful to have the family together for such a fun occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disneyworld was magical, as usual. It was Marcus\u2019s first time on the newest ride, Guardians of the Galaxy, and he enjoyed the three times he rode it (we had 3 different songs, too, which rocked). A lightsaber was added to his (already extensive) collection as an additional birthday gift. (Or, as his sister says in opposition, we continue to contribute to the arming of her brother.) We ate at the Brown Derby (in Hollywood Studios) for his birthday dinner. And to give the birthday boy credit, he didn\u2019t think it was at all lame to celebrate his 21st birthday with his parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
