It’s been almost a month, and I’ve almost thawed out enough to write this post.
We decided to go to MN for part of winter break. The plan . . . wake up on Christmas Day, open Santa gifts, get in the car and drive 14 hours to Grandma’s house. Nothing we haven’t done before, right?

So We Went To MN
Clear and Dry
Sooooo, all that stuff about the roads in Nebraska and Iowa being totally nasty . . . um so far, it’s a bunch of crap.
OK, I admit - we did wait a day, and it could have been MUCH worse yesterday - we did see a couple semi-trucks either jack-knifed or tipped on their sides in [...]
Lesson Learned
Princess is finally feeling the pain and realizing the lesson she’s learned.
So we went to Texas for Turkey Week to visit some dear friends who moved there in June. When on the airplane, we usually sit two and two - Dude and Dad, Princess and Mom. For some reason on the way home, we had [...]
Lucky Ducks
They don’t quack, but my kids are LUCKY! They just got home from a two-week vacation in MN - one week alone with two sets of grandparents and one week with me and Hubby there.
Lucky to have grandparents that love them and are young enough to have the kids stay with them during the summer [...]
Gobble Gobble!
We’ve been on the road again! 50 points to anyone who correctly indicates where we were City and state, please.

Anyhoo, I always wondered what the draw was? Sure, we have beautiful mountains, but we have no water, cool temperatures, and snow in [...]
Disney - Day 3
After spending about $300 on park admission each of the first two days, we decided to save our admission money to put toward the therapy Dude will need for his ride on Atlantis. So we hung out at the pool! It was a good choice . . . the weather was perfect, the pool was [...]
Disney - Day 2
Technically, Day 2 was at Sea World . . . and it was a blast! We saw all the cool sea animals . . . turtles, manatee (Barbara Manatee, manatee, manatee - you are the one for me, one for me, one for me - sent from up above . . . ) dolphins, whales, [...]
Disney - Day 1
Day 1 of our vacation was AWESOME! We decided to head to The Magic Kingdom on Thursday since it was a bonus time day for anyone staying at the resort. They had a Halloween party that night and the park was closing at 7:00 p.m., so we were glad we got to go an hour [...]
Sneak Peek
We’re back! A quick trip, but fun nonetheless. We had a blast!
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the fun we had Dude, obviously, was not impressed with our choice of rides . . . Princess . . . not so much this first time, but she did insist on going on Journey To Atlantis [...]
