150 Days To Go!

150 days until Wine & Dine 2019 for St Jude!

Last weekend we (DW, DS4, DS2, DD1/2) went on our long-awaited beach trip (had to cancel Labor Day 2017, then Memorial Day 2018, and summer/fall 2018 was a no-go for medical reasons). The trip was pretty enlightening in regards to our upcoming Disney trip. Due to DS2’s Cancer last year, this was the first family trip we’ve been on since he was a wee baby. He now has some disabilities related to his medical treatments as well as some food allergies (eggs are the difficult one). On top of that, DD was born in December (almost 6 months old now!).

So many logistics it makes my head spin… BUT, the trip planning skills I’ve developed while planning for Disney paid off on this trip as well.

In my head I sort of planned our beach trip as a test run for our big Disney trip. We packed A LOT into 3 days, and ran the boys into the ground. Or at least that was the plan. They were still rearing to go at 8PM each night and we had a really hard time getting them to settle for bed. And that was after waking up at 6AM and no afternoon naps! DD is still the wild card – what will she be like in Oct/Nov (she’ll be 11 months old).

PS – running on sand sucks, but the scenery makes up for it.
