In the near future we will be piling three kids into the back of our Honda for a 14 hour car trip to Disneyland.
It's all about the gas mileage and not about the comfort. (If our long legged teenagers complain, well, we can just saw a few inches off...) We see this as a last chance of sorts. One last trip before I head back to work, one last trip with TJ as our child. Next summer he'll be 18, holding a full time job, possibly taking some college courses, preparing for a mission...This is a last. I tear slips down my cheek, I wipe it away and scream into the air,
"DISNEYLAND OR BUST!!!" It may just "bust" the bank, but you only live once, right? I'll never get too old for this place . It might just seem Mickey Mouse to some, but my whole family concurs, it truly is
the happiest place on earth...
CONGRATS!! I've never been. It's a sad but true statement. My husband is deploying to Iraq for 12 months this November. When he comes back we are ALL finally going to make it out to Disneyland!!
ReplyDeleteI remember going to Disneyworld in highschool with the marching band.(yes, i was a band geek) It was soo much fun! It will be even more fun as a family...
ReplyDeletehave a great time!
I am so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I literally just got off the phone with my husband about our Disneyland trip that is going to have to be pushed back from October, to January. I am so sad!
Good luck! And take me with you!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Disneyland with the family is one of my favorite memories, I'm sure it'll be the same way for your kids.
ReplyDeleteFamily vacations really do provide important bonding. I'm glad you have this last experience and hope it is everything you want it to be!

ReplyDeletehave a churro for me. :)
Hope you have a speedy drive and a great time! Say "Hi" to Mickey & Minnie for me!
ReplyDeletedisneyland or bust baby! Enjoy spending your time and money with the kids and savor these moments. I say, don't let the opportunity pass. 14 hours in a car?? eeks, i don't envy that drive.
ReplyDeleteWE did 12 hours and it really wasn't so bad, so whats 2 more hours right??
Can you take me too?
ReplyDeleteYou will have so much fun! Be safe and have tons of fun!
