Leaving Friday!!!! See Ya Later Tornados!!!

[zshellmatt]

I am beyond excited!

We are finally leaving after planning our trip for 2 years! We will be driving from Moore, Oklahoma and wont's be back until 6/23. We will be staying in the Disney area for two weeks and going to Disney and Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure for two weeks and then go to Siesta Key Beach for a week. This trip could not come at a better time. We are temporarily displaced due to the May 20th tornados in Moore, Ok. If you have been watching the news we live right across the highway from the Warren Theater that was damages and the Hospital and 7-Eleven that was destroyed. Most of our neighborhood is gone. We still have a house, but it is significantly damaged. Needless to say we have had a stressful week. So looking forward to this trip. I am thankful for my family though, All three of my kids schools were in the path of the tornado until it decided to veer off the course it was going. Its just now sinking in that I could have lost all of them. Looking for tons of pixie dust and magic on our first family vacation and 1st trip to Disney/Universal, and the beach. Please no hurricanes!!!

Most deserved enjoy your trip! Glad your family is ok, some were not so fortunate.

I was watching it unfold that day and for the week after. As someone that lives in South Florida we know the destruction nature can bring. I was here with Andrew and it was a war zone through all of south Florida.

The disaster that hit so close to you and those you love will make this trip even more memorable. Enjoy your trip and treasure each other. Two weeks can make memories for a lifetime. Have fun, fun, fun.

Enjoy your trip! God bless your town and everyone affected. Glad your family made it through safely. I'm sure it will be so nice for you to escape reality for a bit! Enjoy and make it magical!

God bless you! I'm so glad your family is all safe!! I'm just south of you in north Norman, and my DH is one of the police officers that has been working up there. The destruction is incomprehensible! It sounds like your trip could not come at a better time!! We will be at US in 18 days and we can hardly wait. As I'm sure you feel the same way-we are ready for a break but very proud to be an Okie!! I hope y'all have a wonderful trip-you deserve it!!
