Happy Camping!
And, then, something interesting happened. My husband retired. And, I partially retired. And, we did some traveling without the kids (who, if truth be known, aren’t really kids anymore)(one of them even has kids). And, we found out that we enjoyed these trips. So, we did the unbelievable-we decided to travel to Disney without any of our children. Do we feel a bit guilty? Yes. At least that’s what I tell the kids. And, not only that…my husband and I are going to shake things up a bit. We are not buying park passes until we arrive, so no planned in advance fastpasses. We are not making any dining reservations until we arrive. And, we might even sleep in some days and do the parks at our leisure. We might even stay up late an evening or two. My daughters are already talking among themselves. They believe this is the possible start of a mental health issue.
April Trip Report OR Feeling a Bit Squirrelly
A bit of background-My family has been to Disney a fair amount of times over the past years. While we are not pros; I would say that we know the “Disney Ropes.” Our Disney travels have always included at least one, and often all three, of our daughters. I have always been the Disney planner. And, the officer in charge. I knew, to the minute, when the pokey daughter had to wake up in order for us to make rope drop. What time we had to leave the room/rv in order to make it to the bus stop on time. What rides had the longest waits and when to line up for them. Yes, I was that person. And, then, something interesting happened. My husband retired. And, I partially retired. And, we did some traveling without the kids (who, if truth be known, aren’t really kids anymore)(one of them even has kids). And, we found out that we enjoyed these trips.

Even the squirrels are worried about our new Disney plans.

That must have been my problem. I was in Denver for 4 days last month. DS stayed home and we asked him to feed the cats and scoop out the litter boxes a couple of times. I didn't leave a list with very specific details, so guess what... Cats were starving and there was more cat stuff next to the box than in it.But, don't worry, I have left numerous "what to do while we are gone" lists on the table. I am sure she will carefully read each list each and every day.
Perhaps you should also have left her a "what not to do" list. LOL"what to do while we are gone"
The neighborhood squirrels are going to help watch over our house, too. What more can we want?
