3 day weekend

I love 3 day weekends during the school year. The thought of 3 days of no work and all play which doesn't happen in our family very often.

We decided to take the opportunity to enjoy our great state of Florida and go to Disney for this long weekend. I wish I was as "blogger" smart as the rest of you to post awesome sights, but my words will have to be enough for now.

What was especially exciting about our trip is that we were meeting up with family members from New Orleans that we haven't seen in 5 years. They left on Thursday morning before the storm under no evacuations and really wasn't sure what the storm was going to do to them. Once we arrived with them on Saturday morning, their area was under the mandatory evacuations. Not to mention while waiting in line for the Peter Pan line, Southwest Airlines called them to cancel their for home for Tuesday. Besides being bummed by the storm, what a great place to be stuck at!! They bought the Disney insurance so Disney will pay them money to stay after Tuesday. Basically, until New Orleans opens back up, they are living off of Disney right now.

All said, besides the minor distraction of constant hurricane updates from our phones, we had a wonderful weekend. All of our Disney dreams came true. I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids, or us adults. Hum???
