Well we were in Disneyland last week! I am so glad to be home, but I am terribly missing the family I had to say goodbye to again.
This vacation was a little bittersweet for me. My son will be going to college in the fall and then off on a mission in January. So, all in all, this was the last time my family, as it is today, will have a vacation. This really is sad for me. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love that my kids are growing up and doing their own things, but man, I am going to miss the time we spend together. I know that my son, and later in a few years my daughter, have to go on and live their own life, but how I wish things could just stay the same for a little while longer. I am already feeling this "empty nest" thing and I hate it. Trent said on the way home that next time we all will be together at Disneyland again, we will be there with our grandkids. As much as I love that thought, it still makes me sad to know this was the last family vacation with my son, my daughter, my husband, and myself.
I have to laugh at myself...I must be some wacko to come home from the happiest place on earth crying.

Oh, that sounds like so much fun! I'm glad you got the time away with your kids. And, no, I don't think you're wacko - I feel the same way about mine eventually growing up, and my oldest isn't even 9 yet!
I'll bet you had an awesome time at Dland! It is hard when kids grow up, isn't it?
I'm thinking of you, but... Garrick is not far from "home" when he gets to college!
Love ya!
