When:
10 days! We'll be at POR from May 31-June 5, and from CR from June 5 until June 7.
Background:
I never went anywhere as a child, and married dh after dating through 4 yrs of high school and 4 yrs of college. He has no interest in traveling anywhere. In 2006, I decided that I was tired of sitting home and told him I was going to WDW with or without him. The kids were 6 and 9, and my MIL ended up going with us. I was 33, and fell in love with WDW on that trip.
In 2007, I took the kids back by myself for Thanksgiving week. WDW is such a great place for "single" parents to vacation!
In 2008, we went to CA and Vegas with dh's family-dh still refused to go. His aunt flew a bunch of us out-MIL, her other son and his family, another aunt and her grandson, and several other family members. We did DL, CA, SW, and the Hoover Dam. We had fun, but my kids and I missed WDW.
We had a trip planned for 2009, and I thought I had dh talked into going. I planned a trip staying in a vacation house offsite, a day at Kennedy, and told dh he could golf while we did the parks. But I let dh talk me into one more baby before I got too old, and our wonderful little Katie was born on May 14, 2009.
We postponed the trip until this summer, and then dh backed out on me completely. I almost convinced myself not to go, but I decided that this trip is my graduation gift to myself. I am a high school math teacher, but just finished my masters in school counseling. After 2 yrs of grad school and a new baby, I need a break!
