It’s been a rough spring in Ontario. Even now we continue to enjoy random snowstorms, below average temperatures and gloomy, overcast skies. Every time I think it’s safe to take out the sandals and peep-toe stilettos, Mother Nature laughs her evil laugh and dumps more winter like weather on my newly pedicured toes. Enough already!
I just can’t take it anymore. I need the sun and the heat. I am desperate for a vacation. I need a week somewhere down south where I can thaw out and warm up.
So….
We’re on va-cation! We’re on va-cation! Come on, sing it with me. We’re on va-cation! We’re on va-cation! That’s right, friends. I’ve bought the tickets, packed the suitcases and loaded my eReader with books for the trip. So we’re taking the family to Walt Disney World.
I know. I know. It’s not my usual vacation. I’ve actually never been to Walt Disney World. Really, why would I have gone there? It’s not the ideal vacation location for an avid reader and beach devotee like me. In fact there’s no beach to be found. (But there is a pool, so I'm sure I'll survive.)
When I go on vacation, I’m looking for peace and quiet and time to just decompress. Disney is the polar opposite of that. It’s loud. Its jam packed full of screaming, crying and crazy kids.
But we promised the kids a vacation. And we’ve been saving Walt Disney World for when our youngest child is old enough to remember the trip. Mini-Me is now tall enough to ride all the rides, old enough to listen (mostly) and smart enough to not wander off (hopefully).
It’s not going to be the relaxing vacation when I get to immerse myself in a book or five. But it’s better than snow. And Mini-Me has packed her tiara and is really looking forward to meeting the princesses. Maybe I should pack my tiara too. What do you think?
You don't need a tiara to be a princess. ;) Hope you have a blast. I went to Disney Land (CA) when I was 13 and it was AWESOME! Though it may not be YOUR ideal location, Grace will remember it forever.
