Ahh, sweet vacation!

We went to Florida. The kids, Paul and I got on a plane and flew to Orlando. We spent two days at Universal, which was super cool. The rides were fantastic for all our different age groups. Then we went to Disney's Pirates and Princess Party, which was fun but not as fun. We were starting to get tired and Disney is just not as comfortable as Universal. It's a bit older and you can't drink a beer anywhere. So, all the parents were a little cranky.

Then we went to my in-laws. I was a little nervous about this trip because they weren't really involved during the tough chemo/radiation treatment part of our family's life. I was hurt and kinda offended that they didn't call or write or take an emotional interest. Over the course of my visit, I realized that there wasn't any malevolent cause. They just are caught up in their own lives. And my mil is just in her own moment. It was a lesson to me. I get hyper involved in my own and other people's drama. Maybe that's ok to not let other people's drama involve you. And why should I care what she thinks. It actually felt good to spend time with them.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip.
