What a whirlwind of a week! Spring Break 2010 was AWESOME. It was a tremendous thrill and blessing to get to introduce my best friend to my other best friend. . . Mickey Mouse. The pleasure I got from sharing my happy place with J is like nothing else I've experienced. Experiencing Walt Disney World through his eyes made it that much more special to me. As much as I wish D and C could/would have gone, I am glad that J and I got to explore it on our terms first. It means more to either of us (primarily me, but he IS my child in that respect) than it does to them, and this time J and I got to call the shots.
What was really cool was Mom took us. We left out early Saturday morning (as in, 6:15 am early) and drove down. We let J figure out where we were going all on his own. I managed to video him when he figured it out. Too cool. Anyway, we get there and Dad calls. He decided he wanted to come too, so he tells Mom he's driving down that night. She convinces him to drive down Sunday instead, which he does. (Does this give you an idea of how much my family loves Disney World? I mean, really.) So Dad ended up down there to do so many things with J for the first time. . . like drive the Speedway, or buy him his first Mickey Mouse head balloon on Main Street, or build his own light saber. Mom and I thought it was terrific that Dad got to do some of the firsts with J that he had done with me 22 years ago on my first visit to Disney.
I took tons of pictures, and so did Mom. This was a wonderful birthday present for both of us (me and J).
This week is going to be insane, trying to catch up and get birthdays done (mine was yesterday, J's is Wednesday and C's is Friday), and then doing Easter and starting baseball (first game is Thursday!). I haven't posted much in a while, and may not get to for a few more days yet, but wanted to share something happy for a change.
