Feb. 6 - Vacation bound!! For months now, Dan has been planning our vacation to Disney World. The girls had wanted to go and we wanted them to be old enough to remember the trip. We originally planned to go in August..but I thought it would be too hot. Then we contemplated Spring Break...nuts! After more research, we found out starting with President's weekend it just gets busier and busier...so before President's weekend it was. We had to pull Regan out of school for 4 days (another story for another day) and we knew we wanted to try and keep it a surprise. We picked Regan up after school and went to my parents house, telling the girls we were going for a family drive and I needed to use the bathroom, so we could stop at Papa's house and use his bathroom and see if he wanted to ride with us. (Papa was our chauffer) The girls bought into it until we reached the airport, then we just told them we were going on vacation to Orlando. Regan didn't put together that Disney World is in Orlando. I think she was too excited to analyze it...first plane ride for both girls. My plan was to keep it a surprise as long as possible...maybe even until we actually got to the Magic Kingdom. Sometimes even though it isn't our plan, it couldn't have turned out any better than if we had planned it. Upon arriving at Orlando International Airport, we are disembarking the plane to go find our rental car to use on our vacation in Orlando, when.....the flight attendant proceeds to say to Regan and Rylie, "Have fun at Disney!" The look on the faces of my two little girls...I couldn't have planned it better!!
