Hello everyone!! Our family just returned from a very special trip! We celebrated my DS's college graduation!! Orlando -and Disney- has been a special place for our family since we started vacationing here in 2001. So where else would we celebrate such an important milestone like graduation?? Our Happy Place, of course!!
Here's our frolicking foursome!!
Let me introduce ourselves: First, I'm Patty- accountant by day and family trip planner. My DS, Joe, is a maintenance coordinator and shares my love for travel! My DS, Kyle, is in medical school in Miami and is engaged to Erin. We were delighted that Kyle drove up to Orlando for part of our trip. Sadly, Erin, a nurse, had to work and could not join us. My younger DS, Troy, is our college graduate!!
The graduate!
Graduations, like other milestones, mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. This trip also marked another milestone in our family. This would be our last trip as a family of four. We have welcomed Erin into our family and are overjoyed that she has joined us on our trips the past few years. We were saddened she couldn't make the trip due to work and it made me reflect that this would, indeed be the last time we would travel as our family of four. So this trip would include a lot of reflection on the past while we all move on to new chapters in our lives!
We had a blast together! I, however, had many tearful episodes that I tried to conceal behind sunglasses and /or blamed on allergies!! Ok- I promise to try and keep my emotions in check!
Now, let's get this party started!!
