I heart vacations!!
They are definitly a favorite thing for me!
Hotels, new places to see, museums, zoos, getting lost driving in cirlces.
All fun and exciting for me.
We didn't take a lot of vacations when I was young so we try to take as many as we can now that I have my own family. This particular vactation was supposed to be a "15 year" 1 week getaway for my husband and me. The previous year we had taken the kids to Disneyland and decided that we would extend just our tickets to year passes and go for the big 15. The kids were upset knowing they would not be returning. But it was soon forgotten in all the fun of the vacation and when our anniversary rolled around I made plans for all 5 kids to stay at a friends house and we were going away for the first time without them.
1 week of beaches, hotels and Disneyland! The happiest place on earth!!
The night before we were going to leave I talked with my husband, I just couldn't go have all that fun without the kids. So we bought tickets and decided to surprise them. The next morning I sent them off to school so I would have time to pack. We made the rounds at the different schools picking each of them up and getting the most opposite responses we could have imagined.
"Mom, you can't be serious,
I have a test to take today! I can't go!!"
was our favorite. Each one of them thought of something else they had to do! It was insanity! did they really not want to spend a week in California??
At Disneyland!!
We actually had to make one of them go. But after we left they all adjusted to the idea.
{Note to self: your kids don't like surprises!!}
So in the spirit of our module's assignment this week I created this video of our
15th wedding anniversary.
Hope you like it!
