What a month!!!
Chris and I decided that before the insanity of a promotion (Chris’) and a new school year, we should get away to Florida for a Disney vacation and a week of family bonding with the Ahrens clan down in Captiva Island.
The last time I visited Disney was in 1994. At the time I was a bratty high school junior/senior who was missing her boyfriend Jack. (In all seriousness I made National Lampoon’s European Vacation look like a documentary.) I did not make the trip pleasant.
This time was much different. Chris and I had a blast!!!! Some highlights included a dinner at Cinderella’s castle, a Bjorn Again (an Abba cover group) concert, a rockin roller coaster ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and a jungle safari. Mother nature even cooperated and gave us many beautiful sunny days!!!
Unfortunately, the rain came when we drove to Captiva Island…and lasted 4 days. At least the sky did dry at times, and Thursday and Friday were awesome beach days. I finally got to fulfill my dream of parasailing. (SO much fun…I highly suggest trying it if you get the chance.) I also emceed the first Ahrens crew tacky Hawiian shirt contest and spent some quality time with the fam.
Now it’s back to work. Must get ready for year number two of ITSdom.
Ciao!
