Two Words

Disney. World.

Okay. This is obviously going to be a post that's more than two words. But those are the most important two. For years we have discussed taking the girls to Disney but we've never been able to either come up with or justify the large chunk of cash it would take.

It all started during the superbowl when Darrell saw a commercial for the Universal Heros Sweepstakes. (I don't know if anyone remembers the one with the kid going through the streets in the superman cape.) Well, sometime around April I think he got an e-mail that he was a winner of a trip for four to Universal Studios in Orlando. Round trip airfare, hotel and park tickets. Well, after lots of waiting for news, we finally got a letter with details and Universal helped us set up our travel dates. They kindly gave us the dates we requested, even though they didn't fall in the 8 week notice they require and what's more, they set up our airfare so that we can stay in Orlando for an entire week. This will enable us to spend a few days at the Universal Parks and then head on over to Disney.

Now, I know that sounds a little wrong, but we fully intend to enjoy Universal Studios. We'll go to the parks and play in the pool and spend many, many dollars on their wonderful food, I'm sure. But it would be a travesty to be so close and not go see the wonderful world of Disney.

So, after we've soaked up all we can at Universal, we're going to get in a cab and head over to Disney World. We've booked our rooms and paid for our meal plan. We're slowly starting to map out our itinerary.

We're so stinkin' excited.

And so very, very blessed.
