Now, before you go thinking that we are the Worst Parents
Ever for taking a trip to Kid Heaven without the kids…
Yeah. You’re probably
right.
To be fair, my husband had work stuff to do while I busied
myself with lying by the pool and reading books that my friends were all
talking about a year ago. Those things
you just can’t do with kids along. Plus,
the kids stayed with my parents for a week, and because that is so much better
than Disney World in so many ways, they didn’t care that we were going without
them.
My husband and I: “Kids,
we are going to Disney World, and you guys are going to your grandparents’ house
for the week.”
Kids: “Oh yeah? We
don’t give a rat’s ass.”
Our children are angels.
Anyway, we spent the week doing Adult Disney, which sounds
so much naughtier than it is. We ate at
all the restaurants that we wouldn’t have if we’d had the kids with us, and skipped
all the rides that looked like we might have to spend more than a second
waiting in line. No whining, no asking to buy anything, no melting Mickey ice
creams on a stick.
It was great.
I had planned on taking pictures and using them to write
blog posts all week, but since I left our camera at home like a chump, and
because I don’t have a camera phone, I chose to suspend the blog and get a
massage and a mani-pedi instead.
The real downside of forgetting the camera, other than
failing to commemorate our unforgiveable transgression against the children, was
that we had to rely on self-portraits taken with my husband’s
camera phone.
Florida in June is hot and steamy and sunny, and it is impossible
to review photos on a camera phone because of the glare and the general feeling
of being hot and sweaty and on a constant mission to find air conditioning
anywhere after being outside for two minutes.
So all of our pics are unreviewed, and because my husband is
one of THOSE people who loves to instill jealousy in everyone he knows by
sending them pictures of whatever sumptuous location he is in, he posted the following picture
on his Facebook page of the two of us having fun in Disney on our last day there. I couldn’t really see what it looked like
when it went out, and I will regret it forever.
Much more than I will ever regret going to Disney without my children.

ReplyDeleteI think it's a slug. It looks like one, doesn't it? Actually it is just a shadow. Disney magic special.
