took some time to celebrate... it would be, it would be all right...

So, I have seen some mention of vacation plans going on- let's have a thread about travel! Are you going somewhere soon? For business or pleasure? With kids or without? Not planning a trip but wish you could go somewhere? Where?

I'm currently planning my very first "family" vacation with my kids. We went to Hershey Park for a weekend last summer, and I often take them camping for a weekend here and there, but this is the first actual vacation we will have.

We're going to the Happiest Place on Earth- Disneyworld! The kids are excited, I'm excited, and we're all counting down the days. We're going the week of Spring Break, which is the week after Easter. Very exciting stuff.

I'm a touch nervous about traveling with them and no other adults- none of us has ever flown, so that'll be new. I know we'll have a great time, though, and the anticipation for them has been wonderful for me to watch.

So far this is better than Christmas, since it's totally tailored to us, and we chose it. The whole rest of the world isn't doing the same thing (although I'm sure it'll seem like they are when we're standing in line to hug Cinderella!) and it's something I've always wanted to do, even before I had children.

So, those are my plans- what are yours??

(Sigh) - no money for vacation - working on declaring bankruptcy and wondering if I can buy a card table so I can throw out the wobbly kitchen table and the chair with a plank missing.

Wanted to take the kids to Disney for DS18's hs graduation, but I don't think, in all honesty, my income tax refund will cover it...but I'm hoping it will let me take him somewhere...even Hershey for the weekend...or Washington DC...or heck - the Hilton down the road LOL!

We're leaving on Saturday for spring break. Hiker and I will take the kids down to San Antonio and drop them off with my ex and NW for the week, and then he & I will spend spring break together, exploring various places and hiking and eating and just sight-seeing. We plan to spend some time in both Houston and San Antonio and the surrounding areas. It'll be fun!

And then we'll pick up the boys on Sunday at the end of spring break, and drive on back. We'll be EXHAUSTED by that Monday, I'm sure- but it'll be worth it!

Not sure what our summer plans are, but I might try to plan something for just me and the kids. Usually I do a trip at spring break that is just me and the kids, but this year, the ex is wanting to have them- and with him dealing with the cancer and all that- I figured he might as well see them when he can, just in case he can't see tham later.

It's funny that my kids are still totally satisfied with an outing at the local mall- so it really doesn't take much to entertain them. Disney would be a BLAST- but for now, the mall is MUCH cheaper. lol
