The kids get a Fall Break from school in October here. Paul said it started because of the deer hunt, but I'm not sure. It does seem to corelate every year, hmm? Anyway I guess the kids (or teachers) need a break from school and we decided to get a break from Utah and go on a little road trip. The catalyst for the trip was actually an offer from Rod & Rona to watch our kids so Paul and I could get away. The call to visit the Magic Kingdom was strong since we were in the vicinity so we went there for a day. We got there the day before the rest of Utah so it was actually not very crowded. We got on every ride we wanted and never had to wait in bad lines. Kenzie was excited about absolutely everything, and we all had a great time. I think we went on Space Mountain 3 times. It really is the happiest place on earth!
The next day we said goodbye to the kids and Paul & I headed to San Diego. We had a nice relaxing long weekend and enjoyed every minute of it. The weather was beautiful and warm so we tried to soak it up. We went and walked around La Jolla and Coronado, went out for some nice kid free dinners, slept in and basically enjoyed being grownups. We also got to see my friend Bunny from high school and my brother Ryan who is there getting a masters at the University of San Diego. It was so nice- Thanks to Rod and Ro!!
So while we were wondering if we were bad parents for leaving our kids on their school break, the kids were living it up. They got thoroughly spoiled and got to swim whenever they wanted and played with the dogs and the new kitty. I don't think they missed us at all! They even got a ride in a Hummer limo to get ice cream and go to the pumpkin patch. Not too bad! So we got over any guilt real fast!
