I think we need a little fluff :)

1. Have you/Will you decorate(d) for the fall?

2. Have you started any Holiday shopping yet?

3. What is one food (or drink) that you look forward to when the weather gets cooler?

Bonus (it was a discussion at work yesterday and wondered others opinions):
4. If you were able to have an inheritance for your children (or maybe you have already experienced this with your own family), and you were able to live comfortably and was not relying on that money to survive, would you rather spend the money while you are alive and watch your children enjoy the money now or would you rather have it given to them when you died?

And again, we have done different things with the kids, in different places. We will be returning to Disney as they loved it and I want them to enjoy it now while they are young. The following year we don't know what we will do but again, it will be to someplace different.



Right now, with a growing family, we do things we can afford. There are tons of places I would love to go to but we have braces and college on the loom so very big vacations will not be happening anytime soon-lol!

I can see that and I used to think that -- till I discovered how much nicer it was to get in my car whenever I wanted and not wait for a bus and come and go as I pleased- we had the AAA parking pass too so we always had great spots up front at every ark and our travel times were unbelievable. the longest door to door was 15 minutes. and I found I enjoyed the QUIET of our condo so much more -- I loved going to BOMA but my god it was loud in that hotel - I was much happier to drive up to my condo and chill out on our porch with a drink and some nice conversation about the day. I like the disney hotels too - but I was surprised how much I really loved the way we did it this last time.

It's great when you find a place you really like.



I don't mind the buses and travel time but the next time we go we will be close enough to take the monorail to MK so I am sure it will be much quicker than it was to go to the hotel we went to last time which was really out there-lol!!

yeah our resort was actually closer than some of the "on site' resorts.

If I went back with just my wife for a more romantic trip I think we'd stay on site- I'd love to stay in the new Bay Towers though with my wife and daughter if we could ever swing it - that looks sweet. But I'd still want to explore off site like we did this time - it was great fun.

That place looks nice too. We saw it being built the last time we went.

I think it depends on the family.

Some of our favorite vacation meals have been from when we cooked.

Having enough money doesn't mean that one can't save it as well.
