LOL-- Shelly!!! Great minds think alike and all that.

I NEED to talk about my vacation.
Haven't really done that with you guys yet.
Okay- so as most of you know---- I was a single mom when I met Mark. Mcat was 8 months old when we started dating. So there has never been a time in our relationship where there wasn't a child involved. That, coupled with Mark's very high pressure job--- we just have found that it is best for our marriage to go on vacations at least once a year as a couple-- it's very important for us.
Last year when we went to DL-- it was only a "sort of" vacation b/c it was coupled with his work and meetings and such. And we did get to go to Hawaii-- and extended it. but still, we were surrounded by work associates- so while it was a wonderful vacation, he still felt like it was work centered. I mean- it's really hard to relax when you've got the higher ups of your company with their eagle eyes watching you.

Sooooo- all of this to say-----
yes, we are going back to WDW. But this vacation is going to be totally different than the others we've taken.
Staying at the POLY, thanks to the fab pin I got--
And I'm totally not going to go commando. Which is a complete shock to my system. We're sleeping in, not doing rope drops--- not going to the parks till late, touring the other resorts, playing at the pool, eating a ton and, well... relaxing.
I'm not sure I can handle the change of pace but I know Mark really needs it. So I get to go where I want-- he gets to relax-- we're both happy. B/c honestly- he didn't bat an eye when I said I wanted to go back to WDW... I think he knew it was coming. And I think secretly he was excited too, although of course he'd never admit it to anyone.
Places we're eating this trip--
'Ohana*
Artist Point*
Kouzzina breakfast*
Kona breakfast*
Le Cellier
Teppan Edo*
San Angel Inn (of course

)
Liberty tree Tavern (another must do--- tradition.)
Jiko*
All of the starred ones are new for us.
So we are really excited!!
Any tips for a relaxing vacation?
I can post days and parks and plans if anyone is interested.
