When I am feeling a bit down, I watch video after video. I love the creative ways that people have come up with to announce/surprise their kids with a trip. When I started planning our big December trip it was an idea not not a trip plan. By the time I realized I could pull it off and convinced DH of it my kids had over heard far too many conversations for me to trick them into thinking we could not go to try to pull off a surprise. But it has been nice having their input into the plans. I have managed to plan surprises for them on the trip like daily fairy gifts and in room decorations. It will be a trip of all trips and I could not be more excited.
