I appreciated that Meg stayed an extra day this weekend or I would have really been sad on Saturday. Instead, I had one more day to hang out with her and enjoy the very last minutes of Thanksgiving break. We went shopping in Orlando and had lunch before I dropped her off at the airport. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to the holiday and to look forward to Christmas vacation.
Today wasn't quite as bad as I expected it to be. I spent my time putting away the Thanksgiving decorations and picking up the house from all of the visitors. I talked to Brett, Cameron and Meg. They all had easy flights home and a good start to the work/school week. Cal didn't call, but he did text me to let me know that he made it safely, had enjoyed his mini-vacation and was already catching up on work.
To make the day after a holiday break a little bit better, I started planning our time together at Christmas. Everyone was coming back to Florida, but I thought that this time we would come up with a two day get away for all of us. At first, I thought that it would be easy. Everyone was interested in going to Universal, so I checked the cost for two days in the parks and an overnight stay. I was shocked that the cost was double what I thought it would be, so I decided to research a different trip. Doug had told me that some one at work had highly recommended St. Augustine to him. As soon as I saw the top ten list of things to do, I was ready to book a trip - Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth, Old Town Jail Museum, St. Augustine Distillery Tour and Ripley's Believe It or Not were just a few of the activities that I saw. I knew that it was perfect for our family. Thankfully, everyone agreed. The best part was that I would have something fun to look forward to instead of being sad that our time together was over.
