to drop off a check in the mail for our condo today. It was snowing pretty good out and I was on my way to drop off a check so we could go on a vacation with some friends this summer. I can hardly wait! I'm as excited as the kids. I'd love to do one of those things where it's this big secret until then, but I can't do that. I can't stand it myself.
So, I confess I'm a bit nervous. This is our first vacation since having kids (yeah 5 in 13 years) that we've done a vacation without my family (mom, stepdad, sister and brother-in-law). The couple we've been able to take in these years has been us tagging along with my mom and stepdad to their timeshare. While it has always been a great time and oddly enough I love being a small 2 bedroom condo with all of us together, but since we always had kids and so many I did feel a little bad.
I've spent the last week emailing around trying to get estimates on the cost to go there, etc. I was SO happy when we got an email and it was only $1500 for the entire week...and then we get to split it with some friends. We weren't really planning to spend any money on a vacation before our big Korea trip in a couple of years. Especially, since that will exhaust pretty much whatever we have by then, but with Cole's heart surgery in the next couple of years we decided we needed a vacation before all of the unknowns of when and how long set in. Plus, honestly, I don't think he had too much fun on vacation a few years ago when we tagged along to FL with the parents. I can understand though. Who would want to be 11, go to FL and just have had an appendectomy and told you can't swim. Though we did break the rules the last day. I couldn't take it and we put on a massive waterproof bandage. And then you've got the whole Chelsi had her febrile seizure on the same trip and spent the night in the ER in Orlando and STILL had a 90 minute drive back to the condo.
EEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just so excited!!!
