What's wrong with this picture?

The Goldwassers looking tanned and happy

The answer is.... absolutely NOTHING. The only thing wrong is that as of right now we don't have plans to go to Florida this year and I am sad! After our last experience with flying with both kids (something I highly recommend if you want to lose your sanity) we told ourselves we wouldn't subject ourselves to that kind of punishment again. For those that don't know, everything was so hectic at the airport, between the car seats, baggage, trying to keep track of all of Nathan's toys/crap, double stroller, etc. etc. etc. I lost mine and Ben's licenses, and the car rental wouldn't rent to us, so we had to cab it to the hotel and find a shady car rental place that would rent us a van without ripping us off. Thankfully we were able to have a friend mail us our passports so we were able to get home, although I wouldn't have minded being stranded there forever. After the car rental debacle, we checked in and then had to lug our baggage up 3 flights of steps because the elevator had conveniently stopped working right before we got there. It was one thing after another. I swear it took me 3 days before I finally relaxed and then half the vacation was over.

Yes, all of that I remember quite vividly... and now I've changed my mind and would like to subject ourselves to it... for the love of warmer, perfect, weather, sandy beaches, and Mickey Mouse. We've been going every year since 2003, I can't allow the tradition to be broken.

And so the vacation searching begins... maybe we will go for Thanksgiving, Ollie will be 2 and Nathan almost 4... that will give us plenty of time to prepare for the stress of air travel. Will keep ya posted.
