While life is constantly hectic and chaotic, it is important to remember to take a break; even if all you can afford is a day or two, take a break. You deserve it! I'm lucky in the aspect that my husband is able to provide for our family and has a job where he can take weeks off while still being paid. It's a luxury I never thought I'd see. I'm not saying that we're beyond whether and can jet around the world without a care, but we can plan and save for a family vacation. That's exactly what we did last week. We took a vacation.
We went to Florida for the entire week, Saturday to Saturday, and it was blissful. With two young children, it's difficult to make sure that you are spending enjoy time with them and making important and long lasting memories. As a parent, I want my babies to know that if they want something, momma and daddy will do their hardest to get it for them. We don't spoil our children, but we make sure that they are loved.
So Florida...we had very little planned and it was heavenly. We knew that we wanted to give Bug and Owlet surprises and we did just that without over doing it...it was a vacation after all. I feel like whenever we took a 'vacation' in the past it was more work and stress than it should be. I don't want to feel like we didn't have a good and relaxing time on our vacation. We were gone ten days and we had planned three MAJOR activities; Disney World, Clearwater Marine Aquarium, and Kennedy Space Center. That was it. Simple and easy with more than enough time to truly relax and enjoy ourselves.
Disney World was a complete surprise, we didn't tell either girl that we were going and I'm so happy we did it that was. Bug knew where we were going the second she saw the castle and she became unable to speak coherently. Owlet was excited to see her sissy so excited. She's two...we didn't expect much of a reaction...Until she saw Mickey that is.
