Mickey Mouse Blues

Growing up, I was very fortunate; I got to go to Disney World in Orlando, Florida almost every summer. I know that seems rather excessive, but there is a good reason for this, I promise. My grandma and grandpa (dad’s parents) moved to Florida and got jobs working for Disney when I was young. Therefore, our summer vacations were spent visiting my grandparents and getting to know Mickey Mouse!

So, naturally, when I found out I was pregnant with Farris I imagined what it would be like to take her to visit this magical place…just like I used when I was little. Unfortunately, this trip isn’t in our budget, yet. However, being that she is only 2 ½ I know that there is still lots of time.

…so, my parents came to me a few months ago and asked if they could take Farris to Florida to see my grandma and make a pit stop at Disney World (they are avid Disney fans, too). I agreed, and I know that Farris is having an amazing time…but I am really struggling with this…

First of all, I have never been away from Farris for an entire week. Secondly, I wanted to be the first one to take Farris on a ‘real’ vacation, especially to Disney! I know this makes me sound selfish, but I am so…ummm…jealous!

On the up side, I am looking forward to spending lots of time with Daniel…he promised me lots of ‘Date Nights’ (insert heart here).

* My parents took our video camera and have strict instructions to take abnormal amounts of pictures...I will be posting them soon after they get back!

  1. Ahh, I completely understand! I dream of taking our family to Disney World too! I would hate not being the first one to take them there! On the upside, she is soo young that by time you actually take her, she probably won't remember the first trip. Perhaps then too, she will have some siblings to enjoy it with! :) :)
