It's time for a vacation. If you've lived in New England, you know why. While the snow hasn't been to insane this year aside from the occasional blizzard, it is cold. The weather widget I have says it is currently around 18 degrees. I was just out mailing some packages and that seems about right, though it's worse with the added wind. I haven't been on vacation since my trip to Portland last September and Andrew hasn't been on one since July. So we're more than ready to take off for a while.
I don't think anyone will be surprised to hear that we're going to Disney World. We had a few other destinations in mind for a while, but due in no small part to the aforementioned cold, Orlando won out. Aside from the Disney factor, the nostalgia factor, and the fun factor, what I like about vacationing in Disney World is how easy it is. Once you actually get there, your biggest concern is usually the lines, and we're going at a somewhat off time in hopes of cutting down on those. You don't really have to worry about how you'll get to the next thing you want to see or whether there's anywhere to eat nearby or how you'll get back to your hotel at the end of the day. It's all laid out for you. This in contrast to our trip to the San Diego Comic Con last year. We did have fun and will try to go again this year, but that is NOT a relaxing vacation. Trust me, the worst lines in Disney World do not compare to simply trying to get around the convention floor at Comic Con. And after staying at a hotel some distance from the convention center, we found that we are not fond of San Diego's trolley system, which had a habit of getting stuck for long periods of time and taking forever to reach its destination.
So the reservations are made, the bunnysitter has been booked, and all that's left is to wait until it's time to go and get packing. If we end up with any good photos, I'll try to put them up at a later date along with a rundown of our trip. Until then, I just hope the weather here warms up just a smidge.

Hm... Partly sunny & almost 60 degrees here in Portland. Eat it, suckers!
Every so often, I do entertain the notion of moving. Then I look at Andrew's parents and our neighbors with their stupid tress and everyone else in the area who's trying to sell a house and I remember why I want to stay put.
What's with Andrew's parents?
iykfg!
They're selling the house. Andrew's dad is already working at his new job and living in Philadelphia. This started to come up around the time you guys were getting ready to move, compounding our feelings of abandonment. (No fault of yours, just bad timing.) They've been trying to sell the house for a while now and it seems very complicated, involving copious amounts of fresh flowers and decorative fruit.
asyle!
