I thought I would be studying for my accounting exam (yes, quite the life here), but instead I am still hanging out with DS14. He was supposed to go back to his moms a week or 2 ago, but right now it looks like he is staying through at least Tuesday afternoon (she lives like 15 minutes away, so its not distance keeping him here, and we love having him). I pick up 3 of the other 4 kids tomorrow afternoon from their Dad.
DS14 and I are heading out around 5am on Monday morning for Cedar Point with the high school youth group at church. It's about 4 hours each way, so we are leaving at the crack of dawn, and then staying the night at a church not too far from the park (guess who is female chaperone?), planning to be back about noon on Tuesday. Of course, that means I had to find someone to watch the younger 3 kiddos while DH is at work, so my parents are coming up to cover that
Plans are proceeding nicely for our anniversary/honeymoon-that-never-happened trip. We are going to drive to Indy on Dec 1st (our actual anniversary) and stay at one of the stay-park-fly hotels for a 710am flight out on the 2nd. We will stay in a savannah view studio at Kidani for 2/3/4, and then for the 5th we will switch over to a Beach Club studio for the night (only studio available that night and it seemed fun to try a new place).
We've got dinner reservations for Cape May Cafe 2nd, Kona Cafe 3rd (we could have Ohana but its not until 950
) and Flying Fish the 5th. I am hoping we can get Mama Melrose Fantasmic! Package for the 4th, but they don't seem to be releasing them more than 90 days out. The things DH loves about Disney are Fantasmic! and Animal Kingdom, so I am also going to try to book the Wild Africa Trek, probably for the 3rd. I am not sure we will ride many rides (at least not if we have to stand in line), I am excited to see Christmas stuff and we are going to try to see some shows that the kids didn't seem thrilled about, and just generally enjoy a few uninterrupted days together inside the Disney bubble
We will fly back home on the 6th, and that flight home is the only thing that is still up in the air/not paid for. I would like for Southwest to have an actual fare sale for our dates so we can cover that with points, lol, but I know what flight we want and will probably book it soon
And, DH has already gotten the time off approved at work. Can't wait for December
