Two young children = no more shopping trips!  I’ve learned that browsing the store with kids is hard work …I end up spending most of my time disciplining, cleaning up snacks or chasing after them. My enjoyment of shopping at the stores no longer exists so I’ve become an Internet consumer.  I do not get the benefit of trying on the product before purchasing it but if it avoids chaotic craziness with the kids, I’ll take the chance that I might have to return it. 
Today, my husband was so sweet and suggested I go out and have a “me day.” So of course I took advantage of it and went SHOPPING! It was so nice to leisurely browse around and try on tons of clothes without any interruptions.  I so appreciate these moments of “me time”, it seems to bring a sense of balance back into my life.

The Swan Hotel was so convenient; not only did they have transportation to all the Disney parks but also from the hotel we could walk across the bridge to the Boardwalk where they had some good eats, games for the kids and ICE CREAM! We had a great time on a family bike we rented. Then we strolled the boardwalk while the kids enjoyed some ice cream.

Before the kiddies woke up, I had a little “me time” so I took a leisurely walk by the pond and thoroughly enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee. It was a perfect way to start my morning before the chaos began!

We finally made our first trip to Disney World. My husband had to go for business so we tagged along for the ride…  and boy was it a long ride! Why was it long? We stayed at the Swan Hotel that had shuttle service to and from the Disney parks so we didn’t rent a car… packing up two kids, two strollers, bags … need I say more? It was a bit chaotic loading and unloading but it was all worth it! There was so many things we wanted to see and do and we did it all! … BUT paid the price with exhaustion!

We visited the Magic Kingdom and attended the Holiday party. My husband goes crazy around crowds so the Holiday party was perfect. The Holiday party runs from 7pm to 12am. And since we live in LA and Florida is 3 hours ahead, it worked out perfectly because I was able to keep the kids on LA time. We woke-up late and went to sleep late.

When I asked my son what his favorite ride was… he said, “the Goofy rollercoaster!” He loved it so much he rode it twice. The firework show was amazing but to me the best part was watching my kids laugh with excitement and smile with pure joy! Stay tuned for more of our family vacation.
