Since the Big Game was last night, my countdown to that event is now over.  But now I have an even bigger, and longer, countdown going!  If you haven’t noticed, up at the top of the screen is my countdown ticker that is counting down the days until we leave for vacation!  Although we’ve taken some family vacations in the past, this is our first “big” vacation.  Previous vacations have usually been camping trips within a few hours of home, or a weekend away at Cedar Point.  This vacation is different because we’re going all the way to Florida!

My sister and her husband own a time share “thing” (not exactly sure what to call it), and are getting a large condo in Orlando in February and have invited us to come and share the condo with them for a week.  We’re undecided yet as to whether we’re going to fly or drive it.  If we fly we’ll end up sharing a rental vehicle with them unless we want to pay full price for one of our own.  Which will put us in a situation where if we want to go somewhere we’ll have to either watch the time, or take a total of 8 people along.  If we drive, although it’s a heck of a long drive, it will give us a little more freedom as far as where we can go and what we can do.  Plus if my sis and her hubby end up feuding we can always take off and do something in our own.

No matter what we end up doing I’m very excited about being able to take this trip!  I’m looking forward to taking the kids to Disney World and to the beach.  They’ve never seen the Ocean before and I can’t wait to see their reactions!  So watch my countdown ticker!  If I remember right today is 6 months and 5 days until we leave!  YAY!!!!
