For the past several years our fall break plans have revolved around IU's homecoming game and a trip to Walt Disney World. Last year was the first year that I could remember in almost a decade where we did not enjoy both trips during Cameron's fall break. Although we definitely made it to Bloomington for IU's first homecoming victory in years with a win over Rutgers, we postponed our Disney trip to January so that all six of us could go.
This year's fall break plans were completely different from our normal routine. Attending an IU football game was out of the question due to COVID restrictions. Disney only had limited attendance at it's parks with a smaller Food and Wine festival than in the past and shorter park hours. Plus, our favorite hotel, The Boardwalk Inn, still hadn't even opened and park hopping wasn't allowed. We wouldn't have gone to Florida this year because of the pandemic anyway, but with all of the changes we didn't even consider it.
Even with all of the changes and restrictions, we did make the most of Cameron's fall break. We traveled to Bloomington for four days and enjoyed ordering out, hanging out with Meg, Brett, Cal and HM, watching scary movies, playing games and participating in multiple outdoor activities. At home Cameron completed several lessons on his driver's ed class and spent some quality time with me working on his driving hours. He played tennis with his friends from Bethany and mulched leaves at Grandma Jane's. This afternoon Cam was even able to carve pumpkins with Bailee before watching Wisconsin destroy Illinois in the opener of the Big Ten football season. It may have not been the most exciting fall break, but I know that Cameron really enjoyed it. It seemed to fit his personality perfectly.
