Vacation - all I ever wanted...
The girls have a full week off from school this week. There is a teacher convention in Atlantic City on Thursday and Friday. Our schools don't close for Columbus Day. So, add that with Veterans Day, it somehow works out to the whole week off for us! Of course, half of the girls' friends are all down in Florida for "Jersey Week" in Disneyworld.
I have a bit of a rant about that. Why do people go to Disney more than once a year? What is SO darn exciting about another overly-priced theme park? Even if I *could* afford for the family to go to Disney 3-4 times a year, why would I *want* to go 3-4 times a year? OK, so maybe it is a little bit of sour grapes but I am really enjoying my week with the girls just by staying close to home. Eldest had a sleepover last night and today, we bowl at 4pm! Actually, the girls are pretty excited about bowling with their friends. Well, that and the promised McD's trip afterwards. LOL.
I had a dentist appointment this morning for a cleaning. Man, I hate having that friggin' iron hook in my mouth. Scrape. Scrape. Scrape. :::shudder::: But, I have awesome teeth and I do love they way they feel so darn smooth after my cleaning. LOVE IT! I have to tell you that the hygenist (whom I vaguely remember from a Girl Scout event) kept asking me questions while her hands were in my mouth.
Hygenist: So, are there any trips to Radio City Music Hall through Girl Scouts?
Me: Humppht thftpt brpllyr newthyt yrkthy thrpits
Hygenist: Really!
Me: ::insert more gibberish:::
Sounds like fun, eh?

I can't imagine wanting to go to the same vacation spot 3-4 times in a year. This is a big country, and there are so many places to see, I'd want to do something different if there's time. And it seems like there are always lots of things to do near home that people don't ever get around to doing because it's convenient.
Quality time with friends and family makes the best vacations.

As much as I LOVE Disney, 3 to 4 times a year would just kill it for me. I can tell you that they have added so much in the last 10 years or so it would take 3 to for 4 trip just to see it all. And yes is does cost an arm and a leg but I found the best price for tickets are on line!
Don't know if they still sell the package I bought, 4 days open to all the parks and they dont expire. Still have two days for another time.
