I am suffering from winter blues real bad. Here up in Montreal Canada we've been having one of the coldest winters ever. The cold just has not let up and I just can't take it anymore!
We usually take a trip around this time of year so that we can escape the winter for a week but this year, we are going to Italy to visit family in June after school is out. We've been saving up for this trip since last year.
Work has been so crazy this year and i am feeling overworked and tired. We all ski but this season has been so unbearable that it is not even pleasant to do that. We are on the hills each weekend since they have ski classes.
I tried to convince my husband to take a vacation anyway since we have enough points to fly down south but he is just not interested. He does not mind the cold and my oldest (8 y.o.) is the same. Plus my oldest has school and the only time we could travel would be during march break but flights are unreasonably expensive at that time. So I made a joke that I would head down south with my youngest (4 y.o) and leave them both behind. My husband said that was a good idea. Obviously we were all just joking around but my youngest took it seriously and has been telling everyone at daycare we are leaving. Lol.
Anyway, we got onto the subject again last night and my husband told me that I should go on this trip without him or my oldest son. He says it really does not bother him and that I look like I need a break! I think he is just fed up with all my complaining
So now I am really considering it. I kind of feel guilty about leaving without them but it would feel so good to get away and rest. I have never taken a trip without both kids and I wonder if it will make my oldest jealous.
This morning I asked my Mom if she wanted to join me and she said she would gladly go. She has tons of Marriot Points so we would not have to pay for a hotel. I still think we should just stay on Disney property that way we don't need to rent a car and we can enjoy Disney Transportation.
What do you think, should I go on this trip and if so, should I stay off property or stay at Disney Resort?
