Top Ten Tuesday: Habits I Now Have to Break Because of the Cruise

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

I think the absolute worst part about coming back from vacation is the ride home. Your bags aren’t packed neatly. Your car is dirty. You’re tired. Your kids are grumpy. There is no excitement carrying you through the long car ride. If I got depressed, it would be depressing.
Well, now I’ve discovered something new to [...]

Only Six Months Late

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

For my faithful oh vacation commenter (and very good friend), Erin…
I’ve finally updated Day 5 of my Disney Cruise on my oh vacation blog!

Californy is the Place You Oughta Be!

Monday, June 30th, 2008

I’ve been home from California for five days. And I still haven’t given you a good recap of our week. It wasn’t one of those big event-driven weeks. We didn’t even *gasp* go to Disneyland. But what we did was spend some good quality time as a family.
My dad has 4 sisters. They’ve lived in [...]

Good Morning, East Coast!

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Well, it’s 2:20 here which means it’s only 11:20 in California. If I was still there I’d be just deciding where we were going for lunch. And it would probably be Mexican. We hit up every hole in the wall Mexican joint in town. Delicioso.
I still haven’t uploaded all my pictures or even finished my [...]

Disney on a Dime

Friday, May 9th, 2008

I’ve been to Disney World lots and lots of times. We went about every 4 years when I was a kid. Then Staci & I went when we graduated from High School. Les and I went on our honeymoon. We did a family trip before my bro was married. Then Les and I moved to [...]

I Walked With You Once Upon A Dream

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

There are few things I love in this world more than Disney. (Well, my family and Jesus, blah blah blah.) But when it comes to straight up commercialism– Disney is my fave.
It started when I was very little.
Mama and Daddy decided that even though my brother was due to be born in a few months, [...]

Our First Family Vacation

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

There’s no way I could put an entire vacation into one post. So, I’m spreading it out. I’ll be blogging each day on my vacation blog. We were gone for nine days, so get ready. Day 1 & 2 (I combined them…) are up now, if you’re interested.
I thought here I’d show you my [...]

There’s No Place Like Home

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Yes, I’m actually here. I haven’t been home in 16 days. (Well, there was that 12 hour layover as I packed the 2 summer outfits I own…) And my house is showing it. I just noticed my bathing suit that I wore in the Therapy Pool in Minnesota is still in a plastic bag in [...]

The Old Family Vacation

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

I just finished reading Scribbit’s post about family vacations. It was a perfect post to me. And it’s got me all psyched up! (yeah, you might want to go read it before we go on…I’ll wait…)
When I was little we had fun family vacations. We flew to Minnesota. We drove to California. We’ve done road [...]

The Sunset Over the Ocean

Friday, October 19th, 2007

As far as vacations go, the beach is not my fave. I hate the sunscreen, wearing a bathing suit, getting sunburn, having sand everywhere and the sea life. *shudder* However, the ocean is one of those places that makes me see God better. I really cannot even comprehend how big the ocean is–even when I’m [...]
