Meanestmomever here, coming to you LIVE from the backseat of an SUV on I-75 south of Atlanta.
Much like last March's trip, (http://www.disboards.com/threads/how-to-turn-a-romantic-affordable-trip-for-2-into-a-ruckus.3238608/)
this trip started simple and grew complicated. (And honestly, I couldn't be happier.)
My quickie September 2014 report
http://www.disboards.com/threads/tr...-generator-i-need-that.3369580/#post-52919437
revealed that my oldest daughter, who lives in Jacksonville, FL is pregnant.
March, 2015, seemed like a great time for my husband and I to make a quick and simple (and economical) trip to visit her, offer moral support, help with some baby-prep projects, and transport all the lovely baby shower gifts she recieved when she flew to Indiana to visit over Christmas.
A few weeks ago, my college sophomore daughter asked if she could come too. "I want to see my sissy with a baby bump!"
Ok. That's fine. Since she attends the same school where DH is a professor, they have the same spring break.
I'd hoped she would stay home and dog sit. And study. Haha. Like that ever happens in real life.
Yes, we would love for her to join us. My middle daughter is student teaching this semester so it would be just the three of us. And I thought it was pretty cool that she wanted to go somewhere with just mom and dad at age 20!
Except it isn't just the three of us.
And (as it turns out) she doesn't want to go someplace with her parents.
What she wants is a free trip to Florida for herself and, of course, her roommate.
It's that kind of trip when your parents pay for gas. And food. And hotels. And, you guessed it: Disney tickets.
